See you dismiss as “hopeful” 

You are not qualified to do that.  You were about 15 when he wrote it and are not a met  nor atmospheric scientist. You are able to provide great detailed discussions with very little forecasting . You are most certainly and ardent model hugger and defender of the failing status quo 

The abilities you assess us as “not having” are largely because they have not been sought due to defenders  of. and monetary concerns about, the preservation of the current operating methods 

Howard you need to take a break from here.

As a rule of thumb, if I don’t see cold/BN temperatures in all of the last 3 days within my apple weather app, we’re not seeing cold anytime soon. 

Following this ^^ rule would have been much more accurate than models. 

showing 65-70 - soooo, not looking good.

As I said many days ago, I am done chasing modeled epic h5 patterns at this juncture. If there is a legit signal for a snow event for the lowlands inside 7 days, I will show some interest. Unlikely, but not impossible. Btw, 'lowlands' includes you too Ji. 350 feet? lol

lol i have more elevation than Ji and I live in the city

"Supposed professional". Sure sounds like it. Not cool.

I am very surprised that a supposed professional would say its over on March 4.

i am very surprised that someone who routinely dismisses out of hand reams of empirical evidence and actual data about the planet's climate doesn't understand why he would make such a claim.

lol Fargo, ND was +14F on the entire season jfc

Not much difference, even though it felt much colder this year thanks to the mid-Jan wintry week with two SECS that trended the right way for us. 

i am really thankful for that week - better than nothing.

one thing that is really concerning is the steep drop in the number of days with a mean temp < 32F over the last several years.

I could have sworn that 2012-2013 was a Pac Puke year.  I seem to remember that being the year I learned about the joys of the Alaska vortex.

we were living in midtown at the time and restaurants never took in their outdoor seating for the winter lol

Even with 2014-2015 DC is averaging the same climo wrt temps and snowfall as central NC since 2010.  It's averaging the same climo as SC since 2016.  

This winter (DJF) in DC averaged 43.2F.  Last winter was 44F.  Like you said, that's a typical winter like 200-300 miles south of here.

low of 33F both here and at DCA.  Probably no freezing temps here for at least the next 10 days.

bit of a breeze out there

Good. They need it to get through the summer. We're building in places we shouldn't and the fire season needs to be mitigated as much as possible by snowpack.

that's the truth

the amount of snow the mountains in WA, OR, and CA receive is absolutely insane.

let's call up NASA - "hey guys, I think the Earth's rotation is slowing down, do y'all check that?"

we can measure things like the speed of the planet's rotation with incredible precision, but he "thinks" it slowed down.

I think the rotation of the Earth has slowed a little.. we are seeing more High pressure systems. land vs water friction also seems to be a little greater (cold coming more from Canada vs 50/50 low cold).

You think?  You know we can measure this, right?

We're getting to the point where snowfall amount probabilities
  in the Sierra/northeast CA won't even matter--being replaced by
  certainties. Snow amounts will be so much and difficult to 
  accurately measure due to strong winds producing prolonged 
  periods of near zero visibility, and blowing/drifting snow 
  capable of burying vehicles and making it difficult to locate 
  roads. Even walking outside would not be advised during this 
  storm as a person could quickly become lost or disoriented.

Its going to get chilly here, but this is the AFD for the Sierra Nevada. I'm chasing it. Flying out today at 4 PM to Reno and spending 6 nights up near Donner Pass. This should be the chase of a lifetime. 

 

damn you better get some video!!!

He is trying to back track on his warm winter comments for the east coast. Disaster for business

he should refocus on severe weather and hurricanes

MSP is basically having a typical DC winter

lol shit is just getting ridiculous at this point

55 and sunny in NW DC. I think 65+ isn’t off the table at this rate. 

60 now here.  Time for a run!

temps here bottomed out around 9-10pm last night and have been steady/rising since.  Last freezing temps for a while I'd assume.

Great discussion in here btw.
