You guys to the east can get saved with northern stream vorts. Pick up the junk before they bomb out and hammer New England. We get jumped out here.
-
Well basically you wont have to worry about winter except once a decade. So yeah. Generally the Mid Atlantic might be the best retirement spot. After retirement you should expect to see 2 or 3 snowstorms before you die.
-
After the past 6 years. I will not EVER think about being excited about a Nina. Will not happen. The general theme is Nina? Yeah. Winter is over.

This wasnt a dud. This was a historic failure. Even by our standards of failure there is nothing close to this winter season. The icing on the cake is we will most likely be cold for the next 5 weeks. You really cant write a worse book.
-
This right here. I know PSU put up some stats about Nina's being not as bad. But in my 50+ years of life they suck. They always have sucked. At least with Nino's we get an active STJ. IMO that gives us a better chance of having vorts forced under us with any blocking at all. There is a reason the Midwest loves Nina's. Dominate northern stream helps them.

Whatever. 18Z GFS lines us western folks up for a small front end thump the last week of March to end this disaster of a winter. I am sitting here looking at Doug Kammerer doing his forecast and wanting to cuss him out in all honesty.
-
Off and on snow showers this evening. With howling NW winds. It is raw out there.
-
Shouldnt we expect a more amped storm towards the end of March though? Bottom line for me is there is a storm on all of the models in that timeframe. I would probably favor a more amped up storm over a southern slider at this time of year. Although this winter has done nothing but disappoint.
-
Yeah. I was just looking at the RLX radar site and the snow has really blossomed down there. It is on a good trajectory for us overnight I think. Would be nice to wake up to an inch in the morning.
-
Picking back up here again. And the radar actually looks decent for a chance to snag maybe an inch overnight?
-
Snow slowed down considerably for a couple of hours. Now back to light snow again out here. Too bad this didnt come overnight.
-
Really coming down hard here now. Temp down to 31. Grass whitening. Beautiful.
-
Snow just started here. 34 degrees.
-
Snowing just west of Winchester now. Just looking at traffic cams. Would love to snag enough to cover the grass.
-
Radar actually looks decent for the area to snag some flakes today.
-
We did it last year beyond mid April. Maybe that will be the norm going forward. I mean you just get much more amped storms in March and April. And it could be that we need those amped storms to be cold enough to snow going forward. I am looking forward to a Nino next winter. I want to see how an active southern jet works out with the way we currently seem to carry winter temps. Even with some blocking periods it really hasnt been cold.
-
Unfortunately I am too old to ski. So an early gardening season would be nice. Especially after a February where I could have literally planted tomatoes safely. I still think we will see some snow after tomorrows minor event. By we I mean those of us to the NW. I am just frustrated by the lack of winter during actual winter.
-
I cracked a Founders KBS right now. May as well get hammered with alcohol if we are never going to get hammered again with snow. I may have to retire the word pummeled from my vocabulary.
-
Problem is it is still going to be pretty cold through the entire month. The whole situation sucks.
-
Congrats. This is the one where your location is better than in town. Rain here.
-
Yeah it is. And there is also a nice HP over the top. But it appears to be trailing just a little to far back at this point. That one is probably our most realistic chance if we can get the HP to progress a little quicker and get some cold air forced down here.
-
About 30% of my snow last winter came after March 12th. Including 2+ inches on April 18th. This pic was the April 18th storm. We arent done yet. Although with the way this winter has gone I almost wish we were.

Fringed

You see that little snow hole north of Winchester? Yeah. ummm.
