Your pack will be epic

March is the worst

? GFS has DC at 73 at 1pm Saturday Euro and GEM even warmer.

@The 4 Seasons .5" (62.75" season) snow yesterday before the change over to freezing rain. Not a bad little event. Drive home from work yesterday, and drive in early this morning were not wonderful. Would be nice to find away to get me about 7" more to make 70" for the season. Not sure if that can happen, but I will work hard to make it so.

Below is the February Climate Summary for The Chester County Area. February 2026 was our coldest February since 2015 and these first 2 months of the year represents our 25th coldest start to any year since records began back in 1893.

Angry Ray is the best Ray.

2.5"

Doggie looks poised to lock in the next round of lips n hips

Man I am gonna miss this 1' plus since January

Sure and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

Intriguing since wouldn't Kuchera be best in mixed? Gonna check Cobb Bufkit

I'm wondering a couple of things. one, will all this snow really be down to just piles in time. That's only 6 days away and the specifics of the CMC/GFS/Euro ops offer enough clouds and mean frontal position headaches to perhaps level the melt potential some. I mean, I've seen it approach 70 over a snow pack, sure. But that's with howling S gales and tons of steam rollin off the fields in firehose melt off that will be bare ground in a coffee break. I'm not sure it is environmentally possible to put 80 F over a geographic pan dimensional cryosphere and keep it sunny, when heights are really only marginal for mid 80s. There's kind of a 'absurdity limit' lol. two, if so ... does this approach on te 10th/11th period possibly expose a flaw in these AI versions? ie., not defining or integrating that aspect of the environmental precondition. For that matter, are we abundantly confidence the standard versions are doing that proficiently enough. I suspect the answer's no on the AI's, anyway. They still illustrate like 1993 MRF runs with that larger fuzzy granularity. That doesn't look like discrete systemic awareness really. Thing is... even the operational runs are bursting warm sector surge through all across those two days. The CMC with it's own 570+ dm plume now. Probably just go with whatever model's most conservative with temperatures until the ground snow is much much less.

If we do see another stronger El Niño so soon after 2023-2024, then it may be another piece of evidence indicating that the PCC has shifted positive leading to the big spike in global temperatures since 2023. We probably need to get past the spring forecast barrier in order to know the details of how strong this one gets. It’s possible that the faster rate of warming since 2023 is related to a shift in the newly discovered PCC near Nino 1.2. Notice the current Nino 1.2 temperatures have warmed in recent weeks. The last El Niño in 2023-2024 also experienced earlier warming than past events as the Nino 1+2 warming was early also. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-52731-6?utm_campaign=related_content&utm_source=HEALTH&utm_medium=communities Much recent work focused on whether equatorial Pacific cooling over past decades is driven by anthropogenic effects or arises from internally-generated climate variability, like the IPO. A definitive anthropogenic link to the recent trends would allow us to reliably predict a cooler tropical Pacific. As the tropical Pacific is known to be a climatic pacemaker, for (at least) the near-future this would mitigate global warming via ocean heat uptake and low-level cloud feedbacks. Instead, if the cyclic IPO dominates the recent cooling, we may expect a strong warming when it reverses. In support of the first possibility, we have identified an emerging climate change signal in the tropical Pacific across different observational datasets and we call it the PCC. The PCC has distinctive ocean-atmosphere dynamics that differ from those associated with the IPO. We further demonstrate that the recent trends during the satellite era, which have been the focus of significant attention, result from a combination of IPO and PCC. The emerging PCC SST trend pattern features a narrow band of cooling in the eastern equatorial Pacific and warmingelsewhere.

I am just going to say it. This weather is depressing.

I tend to avoid using the Kuchie maps, especially in mixed bag events.

48 this morning for the low. Crazy to say in early March but those will be our last 40’s for at least a week with the summer like pattern overtaking the region

0z gfs crapped out a season saver in fantasy range but it quickly went poof

That should make some mud.

Thanks. I also agree with the category 2 NESIS rating.

Pad those seasonal stats. You could honestly get all iced to 6 to 8. Interesting I would be all up on this setup up there. Congrats

what? Plainfield delays now

GFS coochie is crazy puts down even 3 to Kevin that's impossible

Moved north?
