Or even with winters with less than 6.
-
Wild, so with less than 6" of snow through February 15, there were no outcomes that even brought us to average snowfall?
-
I'm curious, what did we have in 2017-18 before mid February and March? I know we had a snow event in mid February that year in the middle of a mild pattern, but didn't we also have a big storm in January? For whatever reason, it seems that getting a big storm earlier in the season increases the likelihood of getting another one later in the season even if there is a long stretch of mild weather in between-- 1966-67 is another case in point (and that was in a -PNA winter too.)
-
Wow, that looks absolutely amazing. I have to ask, how can you have a horrendous day there, even if it was only 1, with so much snow?
-
Thanks so much for this Don..... it would be interesting to see some winter analogs and el nino analogs for how well snow seasons did when there was 3" or less of snow through the middle of February, say we make it to Valentine's Day with 3" or less of snow..

Smoking crack again are ya, Freak?
-
and our wetter regime means more flooding, less sunshine, more mold, etc. It really does feel much more tropical even when it's not summer.
-
Snowfreak is the Greenskeeper of this forum, he smokes snow like crack.

00s and 10s were actually snowier
-
Outside of you, all the other "snow" ID people live in fantasy land in terms of how much snow one should expect around here.
-
People just need to realize we live in a feast or famine climate, it's why people with "snow" in their names have an unrealistic idea of what our climate is really like and get bipolar this time of year.
-
this is what's erased the West's drought and returned us into an 80s early 90s/late 90s type pattern and these phases last for 20 years?
-
the sun is playing hide and seek lol
-
Is this why we rarely get hit by thread the needles..... the midatlantic storms go south of here and the northeast storms go north of here. We're not in the midatlantic and we're not in the northeast.
-
Yes those too, glad we didn't delve deeper into that or else I would have mentioned my fear of centipedes (which we do sometimes get around here) and wolf spiders as well as jumping spiders. I saw one the size of my knee cap and it jumped up on my knee....I think the whole block heard my scream that summer lol
-
Yes I took pictures of it, the rosy clouds were quite beautiful and multilayered.
-
I just hope we're not talking about a repeat of March 2014. March 2015 would be far preferable.

Yes, carbon neutral doesn't mean abandoning fossil fuels altogether, it means not adding more and balancing it out with carbon negative projects too. We also need to move to biodegradable plastics and quickly. This isn't just about the oceans, they're in our bodies too and causing organ damage. I also saw a really sad documentary on PBS where plastic trash has made its way to the beaches in Africa and Elephants are having to pick through plastic trash to find their food.
-
Chris how does this compare to the high solar early 90s (1990 and 1991) pattern of 22 out of 24 months above normal? Those were the two warmest years on record globally at that point in time.
-
we also have a major SSW to track!
-
Chris, I think we should differentiate between mild and cloudy and warm and sunny, and this looks like much more of the warm and sunny variety, which we like I wish long term forecasts made that differentiation too, because there's a big difference between the two.
-
The big difference is MUCH MORE sunshine this time (starting with this morning).
-
hmmm this could turn around some of those mild March forecasts. we're looking forward to a pattern change starting around the 15th and sounds like it could persist into at least the first half of March, Larry?
-
That late February SWFE in 2008 was a bust in the positive direction, that was supposed to be a snow to rain event and it didn't change over until the very end when we had some drizzle to top off the 6-8 inches of snow we got. I remember getting up at 3 am to see that and it was snowing so hard, I said to myself "This isn't changing over anytime soon." And it didn't, it snowed hard well into the morning and ended before noon as some drizzle. The one significant snowfall that winter.
-
I actually saved a screenshot from the radar from that storm because I saw the oddest thing (I don't know how many people remember this), but it was raining all around us and there was a small white bubble of snowfall over this area-- it didn't amount to much at all-- I think an inch or two at best-- but people driving in from other areas were wondering how the roads were a little white here while it was just raining everywhere else. The white bubble went away after a few hours-- I remember a met saying it had something to do with heavier rates that changed it to snow here for a couple hours before it went right back to rain, so it was like a spring storm. But it was still amusing to have it snowing here while it was raining at Morristown, NJ and all points north and west lol. It was insignificant but it's something I still remember.
