1992 and 2017 stand out, most people know what happened in March 2017 and we discussed March 1992 before, it was a mostly snowless winter with two events near the beginning of springtime.
March 1980 makes the cut too, but it had a smaller event.
it has to be dry and then cool at night, which is great for sleeping. Hot and dry during the day makes you feel extra energized and then cool at night is great for deep sleep
the dryness is a national pattern too, I foresee more warm and dry and hot and dry because the prevailing wind direction has been westerly for many months now, we have had two historically dry months here (October and January) and one month with zero precip (October)
its good for now, but when we get to summer I love higher temps during the day and lower temps at night. the predominantly westerly wind will help accomplish that
transient cold only? That's what Lee Goldberg was saying last night, he said the big pattern change starting next week is that we will go from the arctic cold of winter to springtime transient cold shots only
I remember spring break was awesome right at home in March 1990 everyone was wearing Bermuda shorts in the middle of the month with temperatures between 85-88 for 3-4 days in a row! I wonder if we'll get that this March?
But then in early April winter came back for one last whimper and we had a 1-2 inch snow event.
yes this forum would have exploded if we had a month like December 1989 lol. I was 16 years old at the time and they were still forecasting 6-8 inches of snow on the late night news while it was raining and thundering here lol. I was so angry I slammed my portable radio into the TV and broke both lol (they were both making the same snowy forecast.) It was the second 6-8 inch bust that year, we also had the virga storm bust in February 1989 when I took a day off from school to enjoy the snow and nothing fell, not even a flake lol.
yes both 1988-89 and 1989-90
moreso 1988-89 though
at least the snowstorm bust wasn't as bad as February 1989 and December 1989 were.
a historic coastal south carolina snowstorm in 1989 too.
wow last winter was very bad at Boston with under 10 inches of snow, how many times has Boston had less than 10 inches of snow?
wasn't 2018-19 also a low snowfall season for all these locations?
