40/70 Benchmark Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 17.5" on the month, which is a hair above normal...remarkable considering the magnitude of the monthly positive temp anomaly. That is what a very active pattern will do at this latitude in the heart of winter. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I found the jinx on this season....my kid saved a snowball from last year's, last snowfall. He was supposed to throw it outside during this season's first snowfall. I found it in the back of the freezer this morning. Needless to say, it melted with the rest of the snow this morning...let's see if this bring s us some luck the rest of the season....Lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 +7.8 on the month at Mount Mansfield. Averages out to 27/15, still cold enough. Luckily it was during the coldest month of the year. Snow depth 41”. Average 51”. Decent depth gains of 31-inches since January 7th. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Digging deeper, Mansfield was +5-6F above normal on max temps but +10 on mins. Despite +7.8, the thermometer only exceeded 32F on 4 days, two of which were 33F. It was a month where temps just sat in the 20s for weeks on end at times.

rimetree Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 January ending with an even 7.00" in the tipper...sump pump has been working overtime this month. Mean temp is currently .2 degrees above December's mean so we could actually end up warmer than December overall. Going into Feb with 15.5" of snow. No idea what average is to date but we're 11" behind last winter. Hoping for a respectable ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that surprising though where a good portion of Southern CT is technically in climate zone 4 now based off the last 15 year temperature trends. DC is in zone 4.

Ya for sure this month makes sense but I wonder what the 4 year average is comparable to considering 4 years is not a fluke, and this January will most likely be fluke.

dendrite Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The sad thing is that these departures are coming with the relatively "new" normals. It would've been worse with the Jan 81-2010 dataset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what a very active pattern will do at this latitude in the heart of winter. True. But there’s a recency bias in this level of active. I have felt it myself. So many chances for snow! Hmm…but for how long? Some are expecting a mean reversion in temperatures; but not in storm patterns? What if both mean revert or flip bigly in the other direction? A different way to not meeting annual totals. Definitely have to be disciplined to stay grounded on calendar days remaining of climate that supports snow. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
