I haven't seen snow melt this fast since Feb 2006...lol! Much of this weekend's gains have been wiped out, exposing the crusty underlayer from January's storm that remain.

Rain/snow mix in northern Loudoun.

Drizzle.

It's a Pocket One Genius. Not a freaking Parchment Paper. You guys Absolutely Suck. And for F's Sake WHAT was a Joke in the video? That I couldn't find ONE Single Measurement over 18.5" even though I went to 24 spots over 12 towns Less than 15 hours after the storm ended?

People in Northern Loudoun have sent me video of rain/snow mix in that heavy band.

Oh it'll be true in 200 years... heh, whence the Boston and NY City skylines are sticking out of the ocean like old mooring poles of an ancient abandoned harbor.

12z euro hints at 80F on March 11th

1000%.

I don't disagree that there will be a cooldown following the burst of warmth after the first week in March. The cooldown doesn't necessarily mean a return to Arctic air masses or the threat of big snowstorms. A lot more evidence is needed before one builds a case for a 1956- or 2018-style close to winter. His calls almost always concern stratospheric warming events, favorable MJO phases, and/or blocking etc., to make a case that winter will continue to around Easter. The issue with making essentially the same call is that that when things verify, verification may simply have been a more matter of his making the same call year after year than insight into some unique factors. The 10 mb maps may be illustrating nothing more than a precursor to a final warming event. Even if the event materializes and propagates, the lag would bring one to late March or early April before its impacts would be felt. As X isn't really a searchable, I can't pull up his posts from spring 2025. But I found this in the banter thread related to his spring 2024 call:

yup. It is ridiculous though how the media tries to hype and tie everything into climate change...not every single sensible weather event is product of cc or can even be tied into cc. Anytime there is a flood, drought, tornadoes...the media says "CC is causing it"...that is ridiculous

This used to be pushed a lot more in the mainstream years ago versus now. I think there was a study like 8-9 years ago that went viral in mainstream about decreasing snow averages from CC....it projected something like a 40% reduction in mean snowfall by 2035 for cities like BOS and ORH. The study didn't pass the smell test to anyone who knows anything about snowfall climo or how it relates to temperatures/QPF combo....but it didn't stop the narrative being spread far and wide. All this does is create misconceptions and distorted expectations....which then can be used cynically to discredit the idea of CC even existing. Some of CC's most enthusiastic proponents do the most to destroy its credibility in a twist of irony.

Everything is cc…excellent. We have a thread. Moving on. Nice EPS signal again for next week.

Thank Al Gore for that.

Models can’t even get rain right 6hrs out. Had it dry up jere today and it’s been raining for over an hour.

Ya it’s raining when most models said no precip. Def not snow though lol

There's still a balance in play it's just that warmth will win out in most cases. And occasionally you get very anomalous events like the freezing temps in South Florida.

yup. there is a misconception that climate change means no more snow or no more cold...that is totally untrue.

I saw some posts there recently where trees were budding and some plants were flowering already. Spring is like 2 months ahead there.

Yup...looks like we may be getting a little bit of a start on severe weather season. Pretty soon we'll be seeing these classic spring bombs with severe weather ripping through the midwest and blizzards from the central Plains into the upper-Midwest

Eps look worse than 0z.

Deny all you want but increased global temperatures have had a marked increased in higher QPF events. Yes, it. An still snow in a warmer climate for the naysayers.

are those rounds of severe weather running through the Ohio valley, 10-15 days on the Euro?

This one’s for you @Voyagerhaha. Once we route out the lingering cold later next week after whatever happens Monday, guidance shifts high pressure to a Bermuda high positioning and that would likely usher in the warmest air we’ve seen since about October. Euro/GFS both have multiple days in the 70s late next week into next weekend. Given setup and teleconnections (+AO/NAO, +EPO, -PNA) I don’t think this one get’s muted.
