Better than most March events
-
Thanks I was figuring 7-10 days at the beginning of the month for that reason.
-
My favorite was actually the one that happened in early April, did you get anything from that?
-
These are the same people who don't think there is anything wrong with pesticides, meanwhile they are circulating through our blood and killing off pollinators. And now we've found the carcinogen 1,4-dioxane in our drinking water.
-
Mass extinction of other forms of life is most certainly happening and at a very rapid rate. We've already wiped out thousands of species.
-
Yes, I don't buy a snowy March either. I could see the cold lasting into the first week of March if it has already been well established in the second half of February, but if we have to wait until March to see cooler weather, it will just be cool and rainy, which we've already had.
-
The last time we had a double digit March snowfall here was March 1993 and that changed to rain after dropping 11 inches. It was an exceptional situation-- you need something like that to get big March snows for urban areas.
-
it's why the 1950s were horrible for snowfall, March was the snowiest month that decade.
-
March 2018 wasn't so impressive here....the last time we had a double digit snowfall in March here was in March 1993 and that changed to rain after 11 inches of snow. March isn't a winter month here because of the sun angle really hurting urban areas, it's early spring. My favorite storm in 2018 actually happened in early April
-
I saw a total of 0.5 inch at Mt Pocono, I guess that's the most we can expect from this.
-
measuring in mm now are we lol
-
This is an interesting combo, blockier AND warmer. I guess this is what happens when the source region is warmer too.
-
Thanks, Don, I wonder what the end of winter rankings would look like? Would 2001-02 catch up to 1931-32 for number 1?
-
Not really that great for urban areas though. March 2015 was the last winter I would call really wintry here. When March is your snowiest month it means that the winter has been really bad.
-
It's basically dejavu from the 80s and early 90s. Now we know that wasn't bad luck, it's simply something that seems to happen quite often in -PDO patterns because the margin for error is so small; we've been in a thread the needle pattern and it seems like Mother Nature is like a blind person trying to thread it lol. It really makes 1966-67 stick out for being an amazing winter, in spite of the -PDO pattern, we really racked up the snowfall that winter.
-
I think it's reasonable to split the difference and if the colder back half of February idea does come to fruition then perhaps the cold will linger into the first week or 10 days of March. I don't think we can really hope for more than that.
-
Looks like everything is coming together for a colder and perhaps snowy back half of February at least.
-
bingo, and the amount of rainfall too
-
What if we also add in the amount of rainfall and lack of any sunshine into the mix? Does it rank even "higher" on the misery index if we add those two factors Don?
-
Looks like we are getting a SSW to help with the pattern change?
-
Yep, I can do without the plain cloudy days and the plain rainy days, if we just had light snow every other day and a light coating on everything, it would be a lot more cheerful around here.
-
Looks like the sun won't come out until Friday afternoon now. Plain cloudy or plain rainy days are just awful, if we just had light snow all day and even if we just a light coating on everything, it'd be wonderful.
-
that plus the upcoming SSW gives me confidence that this one will actually happen.
-
I'd be happy getting this every other day (with a day of sunshine in between) and forget all about big storms and arctic cold shots and cutters and whatever else misery happens here.
-
Yes, we'd need a ferry!
