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.

Have we ever had a widespread 6" from a storm with no low pressure whatsoever?

Well yeah ... everything of atmosphere is thus integrated in/by the same state of being. It has to be a part. That's just physical math. Kind of obvious. But ... you know how that goes, snow is cold so it's gotta be wrong I mean seriously... rain snow dogs and cats, it all falls through the same circumstantial ambient atmosphere. What ever the atmosphere is, the rain inherits. Beside, it's academic anyway. Science ( and common sense/intuition for that matter) of the atmosphere: PV=NRT dictates it will hold more moles of H20 gas as the T goes up. So it's been raining more where and when it rains because of availability. And ... snowing more too. This is the thing that some folks ( I feel sometimes...) forget. The WV increase aspect. Everyone else in society just have trouble equating cold winters to a warm causality. Deliciously designed by Gaia, so that the offending species cooks themselves out like an oven set to the clean end of the dial. HAHA There's been a marked increase noted globally whence events equated a substantial fraction if not a whole season's worth of loading. We could even argue this just struck home. We're above normal snowfall in the region and some 70 or 80% or more of that is from just two events. I'm not sure how the numbers break down exactly. It's a glib example so tfwiw. That enabling sarcasm was really more about the seasonal temperature stuff, though. Like this recent Jan; Dec did this too. Caged eastern/NE U.S. in cold.

Both POS but your thread had more entertainment value

PHX has one of the highest documented UHI effects from development of any major station in the US. Not surprising though given its location.

Only a matter of time before this region sees that. The northeast has been mostly shielded from this.

Seems like temps are the main bust more than anything on the GFS' part. Saw those gnarly high radar returns up in Maryland and figured it was melting aloft but I checked the temperatures and Brunswick MD is 47F lol

It is known. Op euro is a blowtorch starting next Thursday/friday.

There are big questions right now as to whether this stratospheric warming event next month even downwells and couples with the troposphere

Lol…everything is CC. Laughable. Let’s get back to the real weather.

Four straight days of 40s with rain to end next week, IMO winter is done. Yes, we can get another snow storm but the highs will erase any snowpack as soon as it comes. B- rating for me too, steady snow, but only one real big event at the start of December and then steady 1" events with the cold kept the ground covered here for a good amount of time. I guess this is better than the big events just missing out to the south or north in the final 24.

He always does this. I checked JBs account and I dont see him hyping anything. Just talking about what might happen.

Came out well with this one here. 1.32" . A bit more than forecast for here.

Do you have a seasonal total to date for either Southbury, Newtown or Woodbury?
