wdrag Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 CPC issued 2/20 is attached, however it reliability and implications are uncertain beyond March 10 since we should start the first week of March, normal or colder than normal with events of sorts around March 2, March 5-6. The wintry risk on those seems to be mainly north of I80 (especially the I84 corridor). Just hoping March can produce 4" of rain which is bit below normal for CP (4.29") and even with below normal snowfall (norm = 5"), receive enough snow in CP to raise our seasonal total to 15" (a hopeful 2.1"). Even with these values, drought might persist. Reservoirs for NYC per DEP on 2/20 are about 15% below normal and it would be nice if Match could become actively wetter than normal. The CPC outlook is attached. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CPC outlook is attached. Good point. The northeast coast is still in the midst of a major drought. Nothing has changed since the end of November. It’s scary because we risk water restrictions and wildfires again if this doesn’t change in a really big way come spring 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I noticed yesterday that the 2 big reservoirs below my house are full for the first time since September 2024. One of them even had the overflow open with a trickle happening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never had these kinds of fires in 2002 the last dry year we had. It's been abnormally wet for decades now and that overgrowth needs to be chopped down and removed. I think we are regressing back to a more normal rainfall pattern for us which is 40 inches per year and under 4 inches per month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This winter hasn't been very cold, just cold compared to the last few years. I could see a few days in the upper 30s if it's cloudy, but nothing below low 40s if the sun is out. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krs4Lfe Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Looks like we'll be heading to 40s and 50s by end of next week. Starting off meteorological spring strong. We'll need some colder air in order to work out a marginal event down here. If we're finished with snow, NYC's amount is 16" lower than the average.

ForestHillWx Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Ah, back to the cold debate. It’s been cold in my area; snow cover has been long lasting during multiple runs. Had multiple below zero nights and the Delaware froze south of Trenton…We keep moving goal posts to suit the narrative. March is a transition month; are we guaranteed snow, of course not, but the probabilities are in our favor. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models show 40s and 50s to start March, and average temps only increase from there.

I said that. However, the models dont show anything remotely close to the 50s. Will it be warmer than shown? 99% likely. So why exaggerate what the models show? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
