What does this new pattern mean for winter if it holds? (El nino)

Interesting below: Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on how we can improve our messaging! The National Weather Service (NWS) currently uses “Watch”, “Warning”, and “Advisory” headlines to alert the public of weather and water hazards. The NWS Hazard Simplification (Haz Simp) project has conducted extensive research on how we might improve our alerting system. In 2021, based on this research and feedback from our partners and public, the NWS decided to replace the “Advisory” headline in favor of plain language headlines. An example is shown below. NOTE: This change will not be made before 2025. Current Winter Weather Advisory headline: ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM TO 8 PM EST...Future plain language headline: ...SNOW: Hazardous travel in snow and blowing snow from 9 AM to 8 PM EST...This survey will ask for your feedback on how NWS should display Watches, Warnings, and the forthcoming plain language headlines. Feedback will inform how NWS alerts will be displayed on maps and forecast pages in the future.

What was our official total for snowfall from last winter? I think we can safely say the season is over.

50.1 mph gust here.

Just drained my backyard ice rink. At least I got 3 days to skate in December and half a day in January!

Nice! I'm all about the extremes!

Looks like not going to quite make 70 today. That's surprising to me.

How high we going this week, mid 70’s possible?

Special weather statement and snow band coming through. Not sure how far south it will make it but winds whipping about 20mph with moderate snow.

Then we will get lake effect rain and mix

How long does La Niña last? Shouldn’t it be over soon lol

Around 1.5" of new snow I believe before the changeover here in Evans City. Unofficial.

Just like that it's now sleet. Edit - Heavy sleet ping ping ping ping

Still hanging on to heavy snow at the moment. Ripping pretty good temp 31.5 and climbing.

Dry slot!

Bummer I feel for you. Used to live in south hills. 35 miles makes a big difference around here.

Where are you located ?

Up to 1”

Heavy snow roads are a mess.

we all know that 2, 17, or 50 will verfiy.

I want one warning criteria event per year, even if it doesn’t pan out lol

Spring started January 3rd this year!

I’m cheering for the cold for the backyard ice rink, but what I’m seeing is last week of January at best. That’s a bummer considering spring starts Feb 20th lol
