Yeah it’s over brother. The days of cold stretches with a brief warmup are long gone. Now it’s stretches of warmth with a transient cold shot from time to time. It’s time to face facts.
Still snow in Williamsville, decent size dendrites and about an inch of paste down…wind is out of the NE so we MIGHT squeeze out another hour before changing over.
Besides the inevitable shift north, the system as a whole looks very disorganized. Weak returns and just scattered precip over Ohio and Western PA. Not impressed
Starting to think this “winter” will be crammed at some point to a 3 week timeframe. I believe it happened in January of ‘20 (when life was still normal) and we received a shit ton of snow at KBUF the last 2 weeks of January (40-60” if memory serves me) and that basically saved that winter. Kinda feeling a similar setup with a lot of ups and downs around it.
Hey quick question…what does the GEFS show during the same timeframe? Answer, it’s very different than the EPS…why are we choosing just that model? In fact the GEFS doubles down by New Years and would have quite the cold outbreak.
Honestly I’m tired of it. The actual season I love the most is being ripped to shreds more and more each year. The variability in our weather is what made this area so complete. It’s getting a bit depressing to know we’re not going back to the days we all loved and most likely why we started to love weather.
