March DISCO/OBS: Please End It

[Prismshine Productions]

I think we went like 4+ seasons without a benchmark track 1988-89 through 1991-92.  
Couldn’t freaking buy a storm those years. 

Then 93 sure as hell made up for it

EPS def likes Mar 9-10 for a last effort to give us something significant. 

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

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

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)

Dec ‘92 is the one that really broke the drought. Though it was frustrating along the coast.

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.

That is quite the difference between Euro OP/GFS OP for March 5-6 lol. Euro with a 984 primary into Michigan and sliding across southeast Canada. Kevin would have his wind fetish satisfied

No.  I only have 19 so far this season.

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!!

[Torch Tiger]

pretty much all guidance cuts that D9-10 one besides the cracked out gfs

[GCWarrior]

Euro hasn’t been all that great either and it’s day 10.  Probably turns into fropa.

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.

Exactly.  But other places did, and it was brutal.

I’ll be up north…so lock that baby in for sure. Missed the snow/ice a week ago Saturday, and I’ll miss this one too.  Hold it off to the 10th and I might make it home.
