That't the date I mentioned yesterday....7th anniversary special?

Technically your jackpot was 3/13/18 but close enough. :lol:
 

If we could close the winter with one big dog (doesn’t even have to be HECS-style…just a solid 12”+ type event), it would def take it out of ratter territory considering the other factors (Holiday snow cover, almost continuous stretch of snow cover post-1/11 until later this week)

I think we went like 4+ seasons without a benchmark track 1988-89 through 1991-92.  :lol:

Couldn’t freaking buy a storm those years. 

If I remember correct it was somewhere in that time frame the NWS launched a project to study benchmark storms and nothing happened to analyze.

Agree.

I’d never heard of that but that is a sick twist of irony. 86-87 was one of the few good winters in an otherwise crap decade in these parts. Had a decent number of storms near or just inside the BM. Then we went on hiatus for years…’87-88 was actually semi-decent (esp January) but it kind of shit the bed after early February.

the d(pna) is negative by the 9th... keep that in mind.  If that delta is taking place thru the period, the correction will start neg interference as that time gets closer - recipe for damping a signal.  

 

Yet another post day 10 east coast “snowstorm signal” that’s going to fall apart as we get closer in time? Color me shocked!!

Only cold by modern standards, but yea.....

Chris glossed over that point by saying it was the expected deviation from MC forcing....I also predicted one this season, as well....but it wasn't a deviation, it was a departure. It wasn't a month or 6 weeks....it was just about all of the season.

Record breaking in other areas though …plains, upper plains,  and SE/Gulf coast…broke all time cold records this year.

We never got a direct blast, it always moderated by the time it got here.

Our cold shots this year were extremely mundane. I don’t even think we got below 0 once (I know the radiators near me did). Got close a couple times. One of the cold shots got NNE pretty good with the radiators. But outside of that we just rarely got anything from the “Montreal Express” trajectory that typically defines our deeper cold shots. Everything was from the west or even WSW at times. But that’s the type of pattern that really gets big cold down to the gulf states which is exactly what happened. 
 

The only reason the winter felt cold was because it was compared to the last 2 winters and we did not get any true torches after that pre-New Years week. It was a lot of “seasonable cold” that rarely got interrupted and when it did, the mild-ups were quite short and weak.
