Neither am I. And after 2 cold winters (even though the cold surely would've been colder if this was 15+ years ago) its bound to be at a fever pitch.

This wasn't a typical la nina at all, but when looking at the season as a whole, it definitely was front-mid loaded here. It was great to have plenty of snow/snowcover right at kickoff during the coldest, darkest days. But I could've used one more snowstorm in late Feb/Mar, sun angle be damned.

Up to 34!

If you'd asked me in 2017, I'd grade this winter a C+, but after this last decade of crappy winters, I give this winter a B+ in Germantown

The Stormsurf link that I included in my post the other day has just added CFS2 Relative Nino plumes to its links, both raw and bias corrected. They are a little past half way down. Updated daily, they'll at least give us trends, which should make for a nice roller coaster ride over the next 9 or 10 months. Lol https://www.stormsurf.com/page2/links/ensocurr.html

This would be a fine January day.

Flagstaff has an altitude > 2,100 meters or about 7,000 feet ASL.

I have one of those.

1.) If you're referring to the WGAL radar, it went offline due to a variety of issues. 2.) If you're referring to the Climavision radar at Millersville University, it's not available to the general public. Millersville University and the National Weather Service have access to it.

Don’t forget the thin gold necklace, parachute pants and K-Swiss kicks.

Who needs late January when you can have late March.

Yeah.. I mean Flagstaff never goes higher than 73 in March, then it hits 84 and has 4 days 80+. At 35N latitude I don't see why it can't do that, but still.

38 now. This blows. Hard to do real yard work when it’s this cold

Yep, BDCF season. Warm up for a day or two & then back to onshore flow.

Cold today but the sun is strong

Many cities in the Southwest and even California will have experienced their warmest March on record, some by large margins.

Fixed that for you. On a side note, just made it below freezing here this am at 31.8 degrees. Currently 39.7/16.9 at 11 pm with NNW wind at 11 gusting to 19 mph.

Last frost/freeze at our frost pocket: Frost Freeze Year: </=32 </=28 2020 6/2 6/1 Only 2 of 27 years had a freeze in June. 2021 5/18 5/8 2022 5/19 5/9 2023 5/26 5/18 2024 5/11 4/27 Only year without a freeze in May/June. 2025 5/13 5/1

Let's see how this plays out. Imo, it's amping Nino 3/3.4 vs the far east

It's one of the localized events that gives me an accelerating global warming thought.

When I was in Boy Scouts I had one of those Coleman propane lamps, that thing would heat my tent right up.

I was in town at the gym yesterday evening and there was a nice storm roll through. I walked out to puddles and the air seemed clearer. I get home to just a few drops. Hope the rain chances for late next week keep trending our way. Not the best timing, but we need it.
