But why did it just start after the 17/18 season. What changed in one season? I agree with Don in that our winters are getting shorter, however I do not believe a one season switch occurred. Also it reminds me so much of 96/97 through 01/02 right after the epic 95/96 season. Man the 90s were garbage for snow.
-
Nah, it's going to take longer for CC to make this type of winter a reoccurring theme. We are in a warmer version of 96/97 through 2001/2002 (or 88/89 through 91/92).
-
I think too much is put into these records. If CPK goes snowless this year people will read wayyyy too much into it (MJO/CC/la Nina/fast flow/extended jet) when in reality, it's one fluke different than 97/98. Or any other year where we had one event.

Light snow Easton CT. Dusting

Well, at least there is one member that wants to play ball

I feel this is payback for all the great years we had this century!
-
I am hoping for a Feb 18 repeat. 60s and a couple 70 degrees days surrounding a fluke 3 to 6 inch event.
-
Yup fast flow/no blocking.
-
Just this one period. This endless warmth resembles the 90s outside of 93/94, 96/96 and 92/93 (also 01/02).
-
This sums up the winter and the 80s. Frigid warm up quick and rain

I don't have the actual stats but Don might.

It came down to messing up a good setup in December. Ultimately, the northern stream low took over and became historically strong, which then stripped the 3rd low of moisture and suppressed it. That 3rd low had a TON of potential!! Had the 2nd storm been weaker we would not be talking about the record now. Take December 2000 for instance, one storm hit us and could easily have missed to the SE. We were bound to strike out at some point. In a typical la Nina, your window is early and sometimes late. Now we wait to see if we get to phase 8 in time.
-
It can snow in any phase, it just a lot harder in 6.

Courtesy of RTD. I like that they put together a write up.
-
Was thinking about this. So far we've had three looks. The Neg NAO period, the PAC flood period and now we are heading into the look above. Kind of amazing CPK is at 0 with three different setups.
-
It floods the continent with PAC air. Also, like the NAO, the actual position and strength are important as well.
-
MJO phase 6 by the 13th. Getting to 8 before the end of the season will likely be the determining factor as to whether or not we get at least 1 snow period this season (of course we could always get a fluke like Feb. 18, Jan 12, March 98 etc etc.).
-
Protect the pipes.
-
And after single digit lows. I remember we had a LOT of storms with perfect tracks which were all rain in 97/98.
-
That right there was 97/98 in a nutshell.
-
For all those not alive or too Young, this was 97/98.

I feel like DC is in a terrible location for snow in general. Last 10 years it seems to always snow north, south east and west of them lol.

They have been raking lately.
