Great map as usual! That 11.5 was me in Easton. Ironically where I lived until summer 2014 in Norwalk had 16.
Easily the greatest 20 years of snowfall in my lifetime. Only 2001/2, 06/07,07/08,11/12 and last year below the 30 to 35 average range.
March has been a great month lately. However according to the CFS weeklies and monthlies it seems that we get a 2 to 2.5 week period of colder temps before the trough migrates west again. March now looks like January on the monthlies.
The CFS weeklies would suggest about a 2 week period of a colder period as the last week looks like the trough is moving west again.
The monthlies show a colder Feb but now has a warm March with the same look as now.
Maybe my first back to back below average snowfall winter since 2006 7 2007 8.
I think according to CFS weeklies we get a period starting Feb 1 but the question I have is whether it's a 2 week Patten reload or a flip. The last frame of the weeklies looks like the trough is moving west again. That coupled with the SSTs in Pacific and Around Australia makes me think a 2 week winter period then we are done for winter. Hope I am wrong and would love for someone to argue for a better outcome (and not someone from NNE who has a completely different environment than SNE).
I don't doubt we get into a better period. Just concerned about the duration. Want a flip rather than a 2 week current pattern reload which seems probable given the Pacific SSTs
Nope. We had 1 storm in Jan that dropped 6. That and the October storm that dropped 5. The entire winter was warm and the 6 inch event was a lucky trailing wave if memory serves. That winter was far more hopeless.
