I was driving on I-80 near the Delaware Water Gap on Monday and I saw a forest fire just ahead of me and above me, first time I've ever seen that- let alone in February! It was named the Rock Face Fire and it was burning 70 acres last I heard, and it was on Mt Tammany on the Jersey side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This left the local forests with nearly no understory until late June and it never fully recovered from the slow start. Unfortunately the mold was pretty terrible... the weirdest thing I've seen this season was that forest fire I saw near I-80, I had seen smoke in the same area back in August 1995, but this was the first time I've ever seen an actual forest fire. Crazy to see that in February! I heard that San Fran hasn't seen any measurable rain in February for the first time, so they must be worried about forest fires on the west coast too.

gravitylover Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yeah I just spent t the days Sunday and Monday in the woods and it's amazing how dry it is. This moisture yesterday and today isn't going to put a dent in the dryness. I fully expect a serious fire season if things don't change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight's event should give us all .50 It's funny though, with so little precip for the last two months and the ground never really droze just how wet the surface is. We barely got any rain and if you step off the pavement water comes up around your shoe like squeezing it out of a sponge. It's amazing how much moisture the soil has retained after 2 wet years. 14 hours ago, LibertyBell said: anecdotally I feel that dry summers often follow winters like this I think that in a regionwide drought scenario where dry begets dry that would be the case but it has been so wet for so long locally and regionally and with temps generally being a few degrees higher there's moisture and heat energy that has to get "squeezed out" eventually. When that will be is anyone's guess at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowFeen1 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I put a bunch of people on ignore cause their posts are always biased towards warm weather during winter and it seems like if it is going to be warm they keep writing about it instigating it even more.

Grow up and act like an adult for your child. If someone talking about warm weather bothers you that much, then I don’t know what to tell you. Life will be harder than a weather forum. The weather does not care about emotions or people on a board. You have to be objective with meteorology which is a science. People cannot instigate weather. People will always be disagreeable with you. Further with everything going on in the past week, weather really isn’t going to be in the top of people’s minds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Back on February 17, there was chatter that 1960 was an analog for the upcoming March. That's an example of the kind of extreme suggestions that periodically show up on Social Media despite a lack of evidence (the most common extreme idea remains calls for imminent sudden or major stratospheric warming events). For illustrative purposes, I posted maps showing that the area of cold for the first half of February was much less expansive than it was during the same timeframe in 1960 and that there was an absence of a mechanism to deliver the cold air into the CONUS for an extended period. These were two enormous and highly visible "red flags" that argued against the kind of severe cold seen during March 1960 e.g., monthly average temperature of 33.3° in New York City where the coldest March since then was 1984 with a mean temperature of 36.7°. Nationwide, March 1960 was the 3rd coldest March on record in the contiguous United States with a mean temperature nearly 5.6° below the 1901-2000 average. February 1960 was also the 18th coldest February on record in the contiguous United States. In terms of the Arctic Oscillation (AO), the February 16-29, 1960 average was -2.566. The preliminary February 16-28, 2020 average is +3.906. Put another way, had one asked, "What would it take to produce a March outcome similar to that in 1960?" one would have been hard-pressed to invoke such a comparison. With February nearing a conclusion, it's useful to examine and compare how the second half of February has fared relative to that in 1960. Spoiler alert: there's no meaningful similarity in terms of the development of widespread and severe cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
