Well I don’t know where they live but pretty much every time someone tries to “end winter” in New England that early, they are wrong. Unless it’s one of those epic ratter years like 1994-95 or 2019-2020. If they are talking about not seeing highs of 15F and lows of -10F again…yeah, that’s like saying we won’t see 95F again on August 15th…prob correct but there’s still going to be plenty of summer wx to get through.

Can’t be for me this time but I’m very jealous! Send pictures and I hope you get a buddy [emoji846]

Is we back? February discussion thread

I’ve got a group of Mets for you that are ending winter after V Day. They are very adamant -
Well I hope your 14-15 redux comes to fruition.
-
Very reasonable. Sounds good. Gotta see how it plays out.

I'm probably going to slide out to western Garrett Co. for this one. I am off after Thursday AM, so I'm probably going to leave early Friday AM and head out there for the Arctic front and snow squalls. Should be fun! Anyone care to join the ride?

No, You’re putting words in my mouth! I never said it didn’t get warm or moderate..I said the tenor has been for cold more often. That’s what I said. And that’s what it’s been. That’s a fact for your ass. You didn’t like that I said tenor. So then you took it into this. Cuz god forbid we challenge something that meteorologist Scott says. And some modeling today has muted the moderation now…does that happen? I don’t know. But that’s been what has happened more often than not this season, when warm ups have been shown(save the jan thaw). So no words are ever put in your mouth. It moderated/thawed in Jan, no doubt. Other than that it’s been an ice box. That’s all that was being expressed.

Winter cancelled/uncancelled banter 25/26
Roger Smith replied to Rjay's topic in New York City Metro
Note there is a "predict the cold" contest for the interval Saturday to Monday, thank you for your attention to this matter. -
Central PA Winter 25/26 Discussion and Obs
Voyager replied to MAG5035's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Just looked at my forecast. Another solid week of single digit lows. Enough... This kind of cold is just too much for me. -
Like you said it's a more typical mid February on lots of snow chances if we are on the right side of the gradient

AIfs looks pretty active moving forward

The OP run basically had us N or BN almost the entire run. GEFS look warmer at the end of the run. I expect a period of AN temps but I’m not expecting a bunch of double digit positive departures like we saw for a week in January.

I am with you. Modeling has been atrocious warm or cold

Simple format, only NYC data will be used ... predict the lowest max and min values that will go into the books for this three-day interval. It's probably going to be Feb 8-9 that score the lowest values, on Saturday the 7th it will be turning colder all day so the max could be higher than the afternoon temperature by several degrees. You'll need to consider any late warming potential on Monday 9th in making your forecast. The lowest minimum could be on the 8th or 9th. You don't have to predict when, just what the lowest value will be. I will start off with a MAX 14, MIN 4 forecast. Tiebreaker will be measurable snow total in same three-day interval plus Tuesday 10th (not Friday 6th, if you foresee it snowing before midnight that won't be part of the contest amount). My tie-breaker prediction is 0.6" of snow total for the four days. Besides being a tie-breaker for the temperature contest, I will rank-score the tie-breakers separately too. Predict zero, trace or 0.1" increments -- trace beats 0.0" if there is a trace, 0.0" beats trace if there is no trace. Tied ranks in either category (total error degrees, total snowfall error) will be further separated out by size of errors (3,3 beats 4,2) and then if no other way, order of entry (early beats late). My entry will be considered last entry so I won't tie-break anyone entering at any time. For purposes of this contest only, differential of zero snowfall to Trace, and Trace to 0.1" snowfall will be taken as equal whether it really is equal by degree of the trace observed or not. Your template if you want to use it MAX __F ... MIN __F ... SNOW ___" Please avoid use of the dash symbol in your post as it can be confused with a minus. Here's an example of a confusing entry. MIN - 5F (meaning +5 F). but it could easily be read as -5 F. Don't use the - key unless you are saying minus. I will interpret M in front of any number as meaning minus. DEADLINE FOR CONTEST will be Saturday 0100h (06z Feb 7th). Edit entries before that deadline as I won't be noting any predictions until the deadline has passed. ___ The contest time periods will not change regardless of later model run changes, which is why I made the snowfall period longer. If the cold spell unexpectedly got more severe on Tuesday than on Monday, that would not influence the results, still based on temps Sat to Mon only. Snow is Sat to Tues in total.

i don't think we will warm much lol if guidance latches onto a mild spell <D7, i'll look more closely

WxUSAF's weak ass frontal passage thing.
NorthArlington101 replied to dailylurker's topic in Mid Atlantic
This one feels like a loser for anything beyond a trace for just about anyone not on a mountain. Hope I’m wrong! -
nah, 23.6° on the 21st here, I'm curious what the record is in this area for below freezing
-
The torch warm up is completely muted by 18z GEFS

Ugh. Caps already down 1-0 in a game they really need to win.
