Still good for 2-3" for some folks

I did! I recognized him and lady Gaga before my family. Felt very hip

The show last night reminded me of spring and summer nights at my house here, with the Latino families that live on the other side of the alleys out back having a get together. Not my choice of music, but it was fun.

What’s your pack at now?

That’s just climo. There’s some Febs with 0 and some with 10. But we’re just saying what the modeling shows. It’s not a forecast based on climo. It’s some 40s and maybe (maybe not) a warmer one mixed in. It’ll be okay. It probably turns colder again toward the end of the month. Maybe not 10 days of -10 anomalies, but cold enough to snow.

-10 for the low.

When are you forecasting that to be?

Models are unhappy...

3k NAM was better then 12k and Reggie looked ok. This was 6z

As soon as that first bare spot gets exposed he will be raining to Maine and installing before the sweating arrives.

If there’s no chance of snow by Morch 1 on I will be ready to flip to summer mode . It makes it much easier psychologically with no snow pack. The pack loss is a huge mental issue for most on here

Records: Highs: EWR: 63 (1990) NYC: 63 (1990) LGA: 62 (199)) JFK: 60 (1949) Lows: EWR: -14 (1934) coldest observed/recorded at EWR since 1930 NYC: -15 (1934) LGA: 7 (1979) JFK: 8 (1979) Historical: 1741: The greatest snowstorm of the hard winter season occurred producing 3 feet near Hartford, CT. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1870 - President Ulysses S. Grant signed a law "to provide for taking meteorological observations at the military stations in the interior of the continent." A petition submitted by Increase A Lapham to Congressman Halbert E Paine in December 1869 began this process. 1899: One of the most significant cold outbreaks to ever impact the United States occurred early to mid-February. From the 8th-11th, the statewide average temperature across Iowa was 14.6 degrees below zero, making it the coldest four-day stretch on record in the state. On the 8th, Sioux City experienced its coldest day on record, with a daily average temperature of 24 degrees below zero. Then on the 11th, they reached their second-coldest temperature on record with a low of minus 31. Overall the coldest readings were obtained on the morning of the 9th when reported low temperatures included -21 at Keokuk, -23 at Des Moines, -33 at New Hampton, -35 at Le Mars, -38 at Estherville, and -40 at Sibley. The cold across the middle of the country was so extreme and persistent that ice floes down the Mississippi River into the deep south, emerging into the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans on February 17th. This has happened only one other time: February 13, 1784. The temperature dropped to 63 degrees below zero at Norway House, Manitoba, Canada setting the province's low-temperature record. 1933 - The temperature at Moran, WY, located next to Teton National Park, plunged to 63 degrees below zero to establish a state record. The temperature at the Riverside Ranger Station in Montana dipped to 66 below zero to establish a record for the state, and a record for the nation which stood until 1954. (David Ludlum) 1934 - The mercury dipped to 51 degrees below zero at Vanderbilt to establish a record for the state of Michigan. The temperature at Stillwater plunged to 52 degrees below zero to establish a record for the state of New York. (David Ludlum) 1960: The mercury soared to 102° in Rio Grande City, Texas. Just two days later, there was 10 inches of snow at Port Arthur. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1967: Atlantic City, NJ was hit by its 2nd major snowstorm in 3 days as they received 14 inches. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1969: A major winter storm pounded the Northeast. Bedford, MA recorded 25 inches of snow, 20 inches fell at New York City, NY and Portland, ME recorded 22 inches. Drifts would pile up to 20 feet in places. Known as the "Lindsay Storm" because of the political fallout that resulted for New York Mayor John Lindsay. Mayor John Lindsay ran into political misfortune after sections of New York City remained unplowed for a week after the storm. 800 cars were stranded on New York's Tappan-Zee Bridge. Damages totaled over $10 million dollars. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) Ref. (NWS Ranking for Storms between 1956 and 2011) This is the 32nd Worst Snowstorm 1977: Chicago, Illinois: The Windy City sees its longest recorded stretch of sub-freezing days end at 43. Seventeen days during the run had minimum temperatures below zero °F, the coldest being -19 °F. (Ref. WxDoctor) 1987 - A storm off the Atlantic coast produced high winds and heavy snow in the northeastern U.S., with blizzard conditions in eastern Massachusetts. Wind gusted to 80 mph and 23.4 inches of snow produced drifts eight feet high at Cape Cod MA. It was the worst blizzard in thirty years for the Cape Cod area. Winds in some of the mountains and ridges of the Appalachian Region gusted to 100 mph. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Arctic cold invaded the north central U.S. Alliance NE plunged from 44 degrees to 12 above in just two hours, and Mobridge SD reported a wind chill of 64 degrees below zero. Winds along the eastern slopes of the Rockies gusted to 90 mph at Cheyenne WY, and reached 96 mph at Boulder CO. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1989 - A winter storm continued to bring rain and snow to southern California. Snowfall totals ranged up to 18 inches at Olancha, with three inches at Palmdale. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1990 - Thunderstorms developing ahead of a cold front erupted over eastern Texas late in the morning, and produced severe weather as they swept across the southeastern states. Early evening thunderstorms spawned a tornado which injured one person at Nat TX, and produced tennis balls size hail which caused more than half a million dollars damage around Shreveport LA. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1994 - A devastating ice storm struck Mississippi, Louisiana, and extreme northwest Alabama. Freezing rain began falling over northern Mississippi during the early morning hours and continued until midday on the 10th. Ice accumulated 3 to 6 inches thick on exposed objects in the affected area. Due to the weight of the ice, power lines, trees, and tree limbs were down. Nearly one million people were without power after the storm, some for a month.

It’s interesting that the last top 10 coldest temperature for Boston in 2023 was during one of its warmest winters.

I just wonder if anyone recognized Ricky Martin during the show

80s dews and all things summer for Morch

But that doesn’t mean it has ti happen. BDL is having a top 15 coldest winter in history. That didn’t have to happen either .

-10 was my low and low for the season, last year I managed -11 on 1/22.

In a few more weeks the little gypsy caterpillar will hatch from his egg sac and find its first leaf to munch on. He will go from not being able to envision temps warming up to not being able to envision temps getting cold again.

With a 16-day mean temperature of 19.7°, New York City experienced its coldest 16-day period since January 10-25, 1982 and its first sub-20° 16-day period since January 11-26, 1982.

Hrrr is kind of meh too. Although it has a couple of hours with good lift here.

The threat of a mid-month winter storm for your area on the operationals has obviously come down as I posted. However, after the next few days’ of warming, it still looks mainly cold up your way for most of 2/12-15 (much colder anomalies than down here). Then after a 6 day warming, it cools off substantially again with no sign of sustained warmth for late month into early March. With this, I expect at least one more wintry threat for much of especially well inland NC as the WPO and AO fall back some A key though will be the PNA. It’s headed for unfavorable stout negative territory, but will it rise back to closer to neutral late month?

And even after any warmup I mentioned we could have fun again. It is what it is.

This. I had very little clue what he was singing, but loved the vibe and thought the set design was really cool.

Yepppppp

Anybody with half a brain understands what's going on. It's the way some of the posts are said. It's like trying to corral children who are upset that they don't have their favorite toy. So instead they have a tantrum. So it has nothing to do with not understanding where we're heading. Of course their seasons were going to change to spring. It's going to get warm. But they're still going to be things that are winter related.... And still the chance of some major storms that are winter related. And yes, we're going to see rain too ( we've been lucky there's been no cutters in between these cold spells to begin with )
