Add to that the rapid temperature reversals. 60s into teens back into 60s over a few days.

Yeah, more spring in the Rockies with 60s to snow tomorrow. Then our next warm up later in the week. Models have near record  February high pressure to our east. So we could get some impressive winds and low topped convection ahead of the storm system.

Looks like it'll get cold again next weekend?

That cutter looks like a beast. Getting more intense on the models. Winds will easily mix in that environment

the 1956-57 analog had almost an inch of snow on 2/13...it really warmed up near the end of the month...Feb 28 was colder and it snowed 2-3" on March 1st...the second half of this February looks even warmer than Feb 57...After tomorrow we might not see any snow until March if then...if NYC gets 1.5" tomorrow the seasonal total would reach 17"...just about what was recorded up to Feb 13 in 1957...

Morning thoughts…

It will be mostly cloudy with light to perhaps moderate snow. A general 1”-3” with some locally higher amounts is likely. High temperatures will likely reach the lower and middle 30s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include:

New York City (Central Park): 34°

Newark: 35°

Philadelphia: 37°

Tomorrow and Tuesday will be cold days. Warmer weather will develop afterward.

Normals:

New York City: 30-Year: 41.8°; 15-Year: 41.8°

Newark: 30-Year: 42.5°; 15-Year: 42.6°

Philadelphia: 30-Year: 43.8°; 15-Year: 43.6°

The next 8 days are averaging 37degs.(30/44) or +2.

Month to date is  38.1[+3.7].       Should be  36.9[+3.0] by the 21st.

WINTER TO DATE: 74 Days>> +1.2

Storm on Friday to our nw.(Montreal)(980mb), in combination with a 1044mb. high in the mid-Atlantic-----will give us high winds++, from the south that day.

Reached 60 here yesterday.

Today: 35 to 32 till 3pm with wet snow, 2"?, wind n., clearing by tomorrow AM and down to 21.

35*(82%RH) here at 6am,{was 44*at midnight} wet snow---cartops white, streets just wet.      Finally 32* at 4:30pm.

No Mar thread yet, so I am posting this here.

Some encouraging signs for early to mid-March.  Supported by MJO composites (note: I don't rely on MJO phase forecast charts, but instead use pattern recognition vs. MJO VP composites) and also analogs with strong SPV, +NAO, and La Nina.

March is such a volatile month due to seasonal changes. If we can get any infusion of cold air there will be a very good chance for storminess.

The March volatility has moved up in time to DJF. Now we regularly get 60s and snow close together in the winter. It used to mostly be the domain of March in the old days.

Agreed. What's odd is I feel like March has been very snowy last 12 years as compared to December. Odd as temps have risen. 

Conscious that some parts of the southern southwestern sub forum may argue otherwise.

How much snow in March/April 1957?  I think it was 1956 that had snow in late March and April?

 

Looks like NYC has reached 17" on the season around the same time as that year-- what did they finish with in 1956-57?

We might be kissing December as a winter month goodbye, it's the fastest warming month of the year.

Snow sticks around much longer in December, so we're going to lose that.

So the warmth looks to be transient

Yep, because we all remember March 2014

That was terrible.

Had 58 inches and thought had a shot at my seasonal record of 92 inches in 96. Three snowstorms lined up in March with the first one pegged for 16 inches.

All three storms shoved south.

If only we could've gotten in March 2014 what we got in March 2015 (or March/April 2018).....

March will come down to how fast the MJO makes it out of the warmer phases. The current guidance has a classic La Niña MJO phase 5 pattern in late February. This is a warmer flat +PNA ridge linking up with the SE ridge. Plus the SPV is near record levels keeping the +AO more positive than the typical MJO composite. The colder MJO phases during a La Niña March start out in phase 7.

I thought phase 5 is cold for March
