All Activity

I remember those vividly...had like 6" and then 8" to finish the best winter of my life in style.

In addition to Fairbanks, cities such as Anchorage and Yellowknife, NW Territories have a chance to have their all time record coldest Marches. Does anyone have a link to monthly records for Canadian cities and more specifically Yellowknife? Anyone have a link to maps showing historic temperature anomalies by month for Canada like we have for the US?

As I recall, in order of most likely to least likely to have a SSWE during winter: El Niño/-QBO, La Niña/-QBO, El Niño/+QBO, La Niña/+QBO

I do know what you mean on that....unlike other disappointments, like 12-5-03, PD II, 1-29-22 and even 12/96 round two to a degree, I wasn't even close this time. I missed 2' by like 40 miles and the holy grail by like 60 miles. It was only awful because guidance got it up here, and then pulled away at the last moment.

Fishing for smallmouths for years on the river. Use 6lb and 12lb Fluorocarbon mostly . Currently 44 degrees. Looks like some more rain Friday.

nice headed out lewes/rehobo way for easter... fingers crossed for a torch

2.59” melted through the tipper here. Sad.

40 now

I had hope that the cold front on Friday would at least bring some showers but it is looking more and more anemic.

The last 4 years, Stratosphere has been a huge hit with favored QBO state Nov-Feb. +QBO -QBO It doesn't automatically translate to AO state, although this Nov's SSW did precede more -AO conditions early to mid Winter. The last 2 March Stratosphere warmings have not lead to -NAO conditions +time. Typically Stratosphere warmings have a lag, and coolings correlate at 0-day

meanwhile up here in ville, 9" of snow, and 1.5" of rain MTD

Thursday night looks like another round

My guess is that we will have a completely different stratosphere/SPV this coming winter given the anticipated +QBO/El Niño/+IOD

felt like a january morning today..

I noted this active wx pattern in my Holiday forecasts for April 1, and Easter weekend. Rough part is that I still can get some sn/ice out of this, especially at night/early morning.

Nice day today with highs around 40. Looks like a mix coming for Wed-Thurs. Then a quick shot of cooler wx.

Two storms between 22 and 24” probably would justify an A or close to it, but it also felt like only a 5-6 week blitz and not much more. It was cold in December into January but not a whole lot to show for it which left a sour taste in my mouth. Same with March. Also as greedy as this sounds, being 10 miles away from something historic kind of left you wanting more too. But I certainly will take all of this over the absolute garbage we’ve had recently. Once the snow finally came around MLK, it stayed into the second week of March. I guess a B+.

March 24 1851: Minnesota experiences an early spring 'heat wave' with 60s and 70s common. For Tuesday, March 24, 2026 1912 - Residents of Kansas City began to dig out from a storm produced 25 inches of snow in 24 hours. The snowfall total was nearly twice that of any other storm of modern record in Kansas City before or since that time. A record 40 inches of snow fell during the month of March that year, and the total for the winter season of 67 inches was also a record. By late February of that year Kansas City had received just six inches of snow. Olathe KS received 37 inches of snow in the snowstorm, establishing a single storm record for the state of Kansas. (23rd-24th) (The Kansas City Weather Almanac) (The Weather Channel) 1987 - A winter-like storm in the central U.S. produced blizzard conditions from South Dakota to western Kansas. Snowfall totals ranged up to 24 inches at Neligh NE, with 19 inches at Winner SD. Winds gusting to 60 mph created twelve foot snow drifts in Nebraska stranding thousands on the highways. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather from Minnesota to northeastern Texas. The thunderstorms spawned ten tornadoes, including one which injured five persons near Raymondville MO. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - Low pressure off the coast of Virginia brought heavy rain to the Middle Atlantic Coast States, and heavy snow to the Northern Appalachians. Cape Hatteras NC was soaked with 5.20 inches of rain in 24 hours, and snowfall totals in Vermont ranged up to 12 inches. Winds gusted to 52 mph at New York City. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1990 - The storm system which produced heavy snow in the Lower Missouri Valley the previous day, spread heavy snow across parts of the Upper Ohio Valley and the Middle Atlantic Coast Region. Snowfall totals of 2.2 inches at Philadelphia PA and 2.4 inches at Atlantic City NJ were records for the date. Up to six inches of snow blanketed southern Ohio. In the Middle Atlantic Coast Region, snow coated the blossoms of cherry trees which had bloomed in 80 degree weather the previous week. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary)

time 2 torch

This morning was the 100th below freezing low of the season here in East Nantmeal. Here in EN we average 97 such days. This is the most below freezing days since 2018-19 when we had 104 days. With records here since 2004 the most were 120 days in 2013-14 and the least only 72 days in 2015-16. We will see below normal temperatures today before we moderate to near normal (low 50's) tomorrow. Thursday we should warm well into the 60's before rain arrives by Friday morning. Much colder this weekend with nighttime lows again below freezing.

Another 1" late yesterday afternoon into the overnight so we finished at 6" total.

That actually began on 3/31. At the time I had a side gig. That night I had to do an audit at a liquor store in methuen. Despite having company provided ID and a authorization letter from the alcohol company requesting their products be audited the owner of the liquor store was 100% convinced I was a government agent lol...I recall him saying something such as " only the government would send someone out in a blizzard"..lol....to make a long story short he kicked me out of his store lol..

Thanks for sharing. I didn’t realize how well 23-24 matches up with 97-98. I thought it was a good 72-73 match, adjusted to today’s climate. Will be interesting to see how RONI plays out this year now that it is official.

5.78 “ rain this month to date. Water pouring out of hillsides still this morning. Hopefully that’s it until Mayorch
