And the Euro, one of the warmest currently, does have a warm bias plus RONI is ~0.5 lower right now. In addition, Eric’s bold calls shouldn’t be mistaken for him necessarily being likely to be right as he’s had his share of busts.

just depends on the timing of the cold front...

Central suffolk LI. grade: A a 3”+ snow in March would’ve made it an A+ for me

Funny people can take the same data and come to different conclusions. The point you are missing is that energy technologies: solar, wind, batteries, EV etc., are getting better and cheaper on well established technology improvement curves. Until recently these technologies weren't competitive with fossil fuels. Government subsidies could only push them so far. However, going forward they are going to have an increasing cost advantage and subsidies will be less and less important. As an example, China is ending their subsidies of electric cars. Yes, China is still building coal plants, but renewable share of electricity generation is still growing rapidly, and coal use in China dropped last year.

I will say a D in south wake. My reasoning is we got more snow last season and the snow fell during the day last year. This season got 2.5....2 inches of snow at night and a half inch of sleet also at night. in addition, you have to throw in the epic bust of both systems over wake co. Dry slotted both storms. I don't care about the dustings before that.

6" here...I've seen worse in terms of snowfall, but been very mild.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some areas get into the 70’s on Sunday

We had an okay week up here before the torch with 2 moderate events totaling a foot. But yeah, a chicken and beer finish overall.

I can't believe how badly March sucked, but then again, it makes sense in one respect given seasonal snowfall was already about where I had envisioned.

Moderate also is significant severe and as per spc chart requires 75+mph winds or ef2 or greater tornadoes which there was none of either.

Definitely agree with you there. I'd even take 80 and sunny. Or 90 and sunny. But none of these wild temperature swings we've had the last week. I don't want it to be in the 90s one day and the 50s the very next day. If I wanted that type of weather, I could move to Nebraska.

This was definitely one for the books. Just goes to show what mid-west/great lakes climate can churn out from time to time. Now on to spring!

12z Euro AI has a more Spring-like configuration in la-la land. Most of the cold is crapped out of Canada as well

Outside of a renegade snow, most likely done for most of SNE as well

End of winter doldrums are setting in. We need a good torch or stemwinder to track and liven things up.

Beautiful .

Well this is the New England forum…

Sat and Sun are trending warmer on most models now

Around 9am today as the last flakes had just passed over.

Sunday night we got slammed by a BAD front, wind gusts out of the north to 63 mph, and temps tumbled from 96 to 38 in a matter of 15 hours. Stuff got blown all over, lawn chairs, even the heavy ones got tumbled all over the place. Yesterday we eked out 48 for a high. Dewpoint was 10. Last night we fell to 26. Fig leaves were damaged bad. I saved mom's tender new plants by building a framework then piling on thick blankets. The plants were successfully saved. Normal high about 70, normal low about 52. Ha ha yesterday high couldnt even reach the normal minimum. No complaints. It's gonnabe sizzling HOT come Friday, mid 90s.

Some thoughts from our old friend Ray... ‘Unusually early’ tornado watch in effect for Philadelphia region | PhillyVoice

Very sad. RIP Roger.

Matt Hinkin passed away, he was 62. I didn't realize he was only in his 20s when he made his infamous huge miss on the Blizzard of '93.

I know they just revamped to fix this - but I think most folks, if you asked them, would say yesterday's storms were maybe a 2/5 in severity on a five point scale. Maybe a 1.5/5. The problem(s) - of which there are many - is that a moderate risk is somewhat accurately described as a 4/5 risk. The kind of storms you only see every 3 years around here. Nobody felt yesterday's storms did that. So verification on percentages... good for SPC, I guess. Lot of room for messaging improvements.

Yep and there’s no -NAO/-AO blocking to stop it (ridge/warmth coming east) either
