Gotta figure it’s under double digits? Fisher had 3.1 on his broadcast on Tuesday Edit...and I believe a total of 5.7 combined for this January and last January. Fisher also added that a total that low had only occurred in back to back Januarys one other time, and that was back in the 30's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah... in case I forget... I do like the idea of a late season west based -NAO... If it doesn't happen my feelings won't be hurt or anything - ha... it's just that we are fire hosing progressive patterns with warm invasion and velocity into the lower Ferrel latitudes all season along ( save so far our one relaxation episode spanning 10 days very recently ), and typically in March the flow starts to abate/wane anyway as the boreal cold engine revs back down. In that window, there is a tendency as the waves are just starting to shorten, for latent heat to dump into the NAO's western domain space and should the surrounding medium support so, height eruption there has some climate precedence. That's sort of evident in the 2017 as Ray intimates there ...and this does seem candidate year for that. I don't want it -heh...no, as by then I'm definitely checked out (unless it's 1888 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think everyone in SNE is under double digits for snow this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That strikes me as still maybe a week or two early to consider winter's back broken. Happy birthday Ginx.

That strikes me as still maybe a week or two early to consider winter's back broken. They're joking around around but that's not it. The annual solar nadir, which begins at our latitude roughly November 8 and ends February 8, marks the end of it for me. The sun starts to offset snow on "light cloudy" event days... and pack eats back really efficiently almost immediately noticeable upon succeeding that time. We can even steam road surfaces while that happens as the month ages beyond that time and it's a pretty clear environmental signal that the clock is ticking, and the futility of winter and winter storms and all that, grows for me. But hey ..I'm the first to admit my hypocrisy at tuning back in if it gets interesting enough. It's just like my internal seasonal clock and the alarm goes off, and I'm hitting the snooze button.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Spanks45 said: Honestly, the last SWFE that we had, 3-4 inches of snow that stuck around for 5 or so days, kids had some fun playing in it. I think we had lows in the single digits twice in that stretch. It definitely looked and felt like winter for that stretch, but it wasn't 1-2 feet of fun. But it also wasn't what the Mid Atlantic has been dealing with the past few winters, so maybe the glass half full look? Yea my son loved it. When sled for several days down my sloped front yard. Amounts don’t matter to me as much anymore. Just give me snow with some staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Graupler Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 If temps run into the 40s to 50s we’re going to have a tough time getting snow out of that. temps generally (but not always) need to be below freezing (32 degrees F) for snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have vague memories of coaching soccer in late March. Just looked at the numbers. 5 day stretch of 70+, with a couple spot 80s. Monthly departure would not be far off from this one.
