Time to move on to months of warmth and sweat. January was pretty wintry. The rest of it was dog shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 10-12 days have been wintry here, with the solid cover(up to Friday) and cold seasonal temps. But yes, a lousy/dog shit winter for all in SNE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 January was pretty wintry. The rest of it was dog shit. Hard to believe we only had one event in each of Nov and Dec, totalling 6.5", most of it in Jan and one shit event Feb.

Sey-Mour Snow Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 21 hours ago, Typhoon Tip said: I kinda wanna start a thread for what could be a historic heat burst - conjectural +15+ diurnal means for 3 days ? ... We don't get ours in July's like they do in Eurasia, probably do to converging continental with subtropical meridian flows. It's hard to extend BL when the DPs 78 degrees when there's whole country's aerosol anus pointing right at us, while we're so close to sea level/air density. I suspect that's why we've been getting so many 92/77 days under 590 hgts. They're doing 104 in Iowa with that where their sigma starts at 700 feet. Anyway, we get our synergy heat in springs it seems. Can't wait until BTV is 100 on May 8th while HFD is 82 with a S wind. We were mid to upper 90s mid April last year..

You keep laughing at my posts but all I am saying is the big EC torch that some are hyping that it will last straight through spring ain’t happening. The thing is though the blocking episodes did occur this “winter” to varying degrees, but we mostly crapped out with backyard snows. Still, it’s ugly we have to keep fighting a poor pac so until that changes more of the same incoming. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll get brief cold shots and the occasional BD. I've been pretty vocal myself that I thought mid March may regress some after an early balm period (maybe that's a twitter thing? ). Not sure of a regressed month, no ... I'm just basing it on the last 30 years of "existential climate" during both autumns and springs - it's pretty clear in my own memory that large scale driven warm surges have faded into often enough -NAOs. To wit, that has some basic synoptic arguments to back it up I remember the October snow storm back in 2011 - can you believe that will be 13 years this fall ? whole decade, poof ... Anyway, it was near 80 F in mid early to Mid October, than we had cold nor-easter with cat paws, followed a week later by that event. That's an extreme case, granted. Having said all that.. sure, March 2012's probably have a return rate. I got to say ...it's hard to 'standardize' any of this though, because springs over the last 10 years have been wildly warm and cold at both ends.

Torch Tiger Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Yeah no one's calling for wall-to-wall mild right into summer, that's not gonna happen. Hopefully we can avoid any week long or multi-week disasters ala May '05? etc. though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it will cool off mid March....news flash; it won't remain 60 all month- I will look at this more in May, but in addition to most of the cold dumping on the other side of the globe and the loading west (again) when we have seen it....the favorable periods that I forsaw, although timed correctly, were just very fleeting...especially in February. I feel like my January call was okay, but December and February have been brutal. I think I will get March right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
