ChescoWx Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 With most spots seeing over an inch of rain yesterday we are now up to 7.55" of rain this month our 4th wettest January on record - so in the last 2 months we have recorded 16.32" of rain and melted snow. That is about 1/3 our normal annual precipitation. The good news it looks dry this week with seasonable temps near normal. Colder weather looks likely by next weekend. Records for today: High 69 (1947) / Low 7 below (1928) / Rain 1.46" (1990) / Snow 13.0" (1966) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see white rain during our relax/Pac-puke/MJO-hates-us phases/biblical jet extension/every teleconnection we need negative is positive and vice versa pattern would be a small victory. Another post that didn't age well, but again, it was a long, long shot at best. Finished with 1.10", currently breezy, 38F. Sounds like all our eggs are now in the late Feb basket. At least it's a leap year, so we got that going for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've still got a little to work with, the little brother pile in the background is now the bigger of the two, due to the fact that it's in the shade. Some relief tonight, first night below freezing in a while, according to the forecast (30F). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to sit down and have a talk with myself for the 10th time and realize this winter may not pan out. The one week we had w/ below freezing temps and 2 minor-mod snow events may be all she wrote. At least we'll be below freezing tonight (pred low 25F)....so your snow pile and fellow snow piles existing will live another day. 34F/cloudy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 What has been a mighty cloudy month looks to finish that way with a couple days in our future. Temps across the area while near freezing this morning are a good 10 degrees warmer than normal. The clouds will help keep our high temps not too far from normal in the upper 30's the next 2 days. We could see some light snow showers in some spots tonight but otherwise a dry seasonably chilly stretch of weather with maybe some sunshine for Thursday through the weekend for a change. Records for today: High 69 (1947) / Low minus 7 (1928) / Precipitation 1.47" (1939) / Snow 5.1 (2000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penndotguy Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 My window is wide open still, by all accounts El Niño years are somewhat backloaded so until mid March I’m keeping the faith, I mean hell we might even see the sun by then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December was a bust, we got a week of winter in Jan, and now we're counting on the back half of Feb to produce just as we're leaving our prime snow climo. Again, maybe we go on a heater for a few weeks late Feb into March, but overall this has been another disappointing winter as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeymac5306 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Had a few flurries blow past here. 36 degrees. If your looking for something way out in the boonies, GFS fantasy land had a Valentines Cleveland Steamer this morning to a nice SECS off OC Maryland on the 12Z.. Hey, it looks trackable.

I don't speak Chuck, but he posted in the MA forum a few months back that the increase in cloud cover indicates we are headed for a snowier era in the years ahead, so there's that.
