0z Nams both did trend colder too.

Ended up with 2.25" here. Tied with 2/22 for my second biggest event this year. Brings the total to 16" for the year.

Was back up at Magic Saturday with my daughter. Spring corn fest. Glorious! 100% open! Such a great way to end the month and hit day 70! Not the best day for pictures as the light was really flat but skiing was still great. Hope for a little snow for my white mountain trip this coming weekend but we shall see. .

Hrrr is really cold with this (probably too cold), but I find it a little intersting because its been too warm at times, esp at the surface this season.

Here's the data: Note: The Index begins with 1950-51. Moreover, lots of data are missing e.g., 1995-1996 for New York City. The short timespan and missing data limit the Index's value.

Eh, idk. This winter has been pretty dry. Maybe tack on a few extra inches

I’ve got lots more that I could post, but I think “most” posters should see my point.

WB 18Z EURO is much colder for Friday. NBC4 Kammerer's Fantastic Friday is in jeopardy.

Snow chances tbd… but I think we will have our chances based on the pattern with the MJO moving towards phase 8 and the -WPO.

Still some flurries in DC. Want to say like .75” but will wait for some reports. Seems about the same at the Arlington abode. DCA needs .4” to get to 10”. They *should* get it.

Well, I was told earlier that there was no evidence that the pattern could turn colder…

Maybe 1.5" total not enough to motivate a measurement

Can you imagine how much you would have gotten 30 years ago. Probably 50".

For reference this was the hovmollers 850mb u wind anomaly look leading into the 23-24 Nino event. If we do indeed get the westerlies over that warm pool around the dateline we should start to push the ocean to Warm neutral territory. Ill wait to see if the AAM does want to switch things up going forward strength of the event is still in question but it should be safe to say we get to at least warm if not weak Nino status by summer. I would like to see some actual propagation of the anomalies and not have them just sit west of the dateline like we have seen the last 2 months.

It was supposed to snow but 36.1 and rain.

I don't think a single person in here doesn't think it will turn colder. Getting snow will be the challenge.

How about more “evidence” on the highly regarded 18z AI EPS. Lots of cold green temps showing up nearby on St. Patty’s Day.

More “evidence” on the 18z GEFS towards mid month.

Clouds will increase tonight and cloud cover will likely impede viewing of the lunar eclipse near sunrise tomorrow. Periods of mixed precipitation giving way to periods of rain are likely later Tuesday and Tuesday night. The temperature will reach the upper 30s and lower 40s. A sustained warming trend will commence on Wednesday. The second week of March could feature springlike readings. Long Island and coastal sections could be noticeably cooler than interior sections on a number of days on account of a chilly onshore flow. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +1.0°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around February 25. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.62°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.28°C. Neutral ENSO conditions have now developed. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring. The SOI was +16.18 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -0.670 today.

Shocker with the water temps. I know people want the warmth, I’m among them, but it’s going to be a struggle to see serious sustained warmth.

How about the “evidence” on the best ensemble in the world, the EPS from 12z today. By March 14, the colder pattern is emerging & remains in place at the end of the run on day 15.

Probably the last night or two with partial snow cover. Remarkable that we’ve had cover since 1/16. 45 days. Highly unlikely we make 50 with the rain and temps the next few days but still a month and a half straight of snow cover here. Another rarity around here.

Don - do you have access to the winter season severity index specific rankings for cities like NYC and Philly? Both are listed as "extreme" for both cities (and most in the NE), which means top 20% (top 33 or so out of ~165), but I'm curious where this winter ranks exactly. TIA. Also curious how close your scores are to these. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/apme/54/8/jamc-d-14-0217.1.pdf

I did see this today. I even mentioned to myself that it was one of the cleanest contrast differences I’ve seen.
