My wife has a pretty compromised immune system so any illness (flu, stomach bug, etc) is always risky. She takes real good care of herself but the genes are what they are.  We have to be cautious of things like this.  
China has done a good job of containment all things considered. They also have a huge population of smokers and that could affect numbers. 
 

be prepared. Don’t overreact.  
 

This is so much more fun to discuss than weather

I tend to view things from a less materialistic view point such as full on Darwinism in the terms of atheism.  My faith is that of Intelligent Design where Darwinian principles simply are genes that contain a programmed code to activate when we are not taking care of our bodies as a defensive mechanism that does not activate automatically because of simply genes but rather of the choice within ourselves to be ignorant of how we take care of ourselves.  Darwinian Atheism is the removing of responsibility that no matter what we do and how healthy we try to keep ourselves we are fated to get that disease to which I no longer buy into because the fault is on the individual not knowing of how to eat properly, how to control our emotions, and act in a respectful way according to what our nature is.  

And my immune system at 41 in human linear terms is so compromised because of my diet and the inability to gain control of myself, my ego, that I am getting the response that I am because it is my fault not paying attention to the suffering of my relatives that I may have the same genes of my mother more then my father  and what is left Diabetes Type 2 losing one toe already, and Retinopathy that requires Avastin (A cancer drug with Mercury) shots which by the way can destroy brain cells but is necessary as I have no other solution but to accept the black magican's medical treatment in order to keep my  vision to allow me to study on my time on subjects that require deep thought and concentration which involve the study of the Paleo and Keto diets, as with an assortment  of deep knowledge of climate, cometary and volcanic observation to Philosophy. and Mysticism. 

In short it's our fault that we are sick because of ignorance which the universal consciousness holds us responsible regardless whether we are in the know or not and receive the proper condition as rhythms vibrate to the polarity of the service to self condition which is a consequence of what we Generate which we are defaulted to.  There are no mutations that happen randomly, as per design programs as we destroy the possibility to be.  The only way in is the way out to treat the disease ourselves with the doctors in assistance and not them telling us what to do and most preferably holistic solutions as the primary choice with allopathic as a specialty when natural solutions fail.  

In other words work on thyself to study the self to understand the human condition in order to know who I am and how to fix and contain the damage that I have already done to thyself through a discerning process to learn in this school to understand my connection to the universal christ to be in Service to Others as close as possible as this world allows thee.  And that process includes taking care of thy health.  BTW that rumor has it that disease is a failed vaccine that mutated out of a Chinese lab - just one of the rumors.

Well we will have plenty of Spring chances on the Winter that was not.

Getting close to March the Winter that was Not thread, should be an interesting period of the transition to full on Spring.

Winterless Winter Day at 50 degrees with average temps supposed to be at 32 this time of year.  Mother nature wants to clearly send us a message through this weather that she is not fooling or playing games with us.  One assumes a freezer is in our future and when it happens the complaints here will be about too much cold and no snow.  Wait, watch, and see coming next season to a winter near you.

The few remaining cries in the dust of a locked up winter 

How so few remain amidst a locked up winter

In chains behind the prison walls

With the keys being passed from Autumn to Spring

like it or not this warm up we are getting now is no ordinary warm up, we are making the transition to Spring now and any snow we get from here on out will either be brief changing to rain or April like snow that falls very wet.  You can even since the air mass is Spring, so we can chalk the weather up at the this point as an early beginning to life, the gold era in the 12 month cycle has Sprung early.

Yeah I think northern Maine, northern New Brunswick, and eastern Newfoundland are the only places with significant positive snowfall anomalies in eastern North America lol. 

In fact only 53% of our Meteorological WInter snowfall has fallen this winter compared to the measly 63% from last season  as far as Dec to Feb is concerned, though there is ankle room for growth which might edge up the numbers for this season.  The fundamental difference between the two seasons for my geographic location is that the average temperature despite the firehouse Pacific last season landed on the cold side of normal, while under the Strong Positive Arctic Oscillation the temperature are currently and will likely end up on the very mild side.  The  winter of 18-19 ended with 98% of snowfall though in March those numbers bought it above average overall which I do not think we see an epic March anywhere as many are hoping.

Here are the numbers:  Greenwood, NS (based in cm) 

Year                                 Dec                Jan                 Feb                Total           Percentage                

Average                                                                                             194.5

Whoosh?

Consider it my attempt to philosophize reason good or bad and even widely misunderstood.  I am high in openness but low in conscientious as per big 5 personality traits.

Yeah I'm sure it'd be raining at FVE with the low east of the Cape. d16 magic.

Never indicated that I believed that the model was going to magically happen as pointed out by that output.  However as with the previous snow storm output it could happen just like it rains cats and dogs all day, but perhaps it can be sunny.  With this progressive fast flow the models this far out are putrid which proves the lack of true understanding of our own climate during a cylindrical change from one regime to another whether global warming or even towards ice ages.  Point being within the occult circles science as it is today is considered subjective because human beings do not have an understanding of our very psychology and lack understanding to properly discern data beyond a nit to cherry pick what we like and stick to our own biased view as per eye that looks upon us whether merciful or wrathful.  Even I am bound for the moment to the same laws of the general law of gravity that keeps me heavy in my own views.

Only the 6Z GFS counts this winter.

Every possibility counts it is just that you chose not to see the scenario that you do not want until there is a consistency in the models which for you have dragged on and on forever this winter as being warm and rainy.  And only then when the walls do close on you as time approaches infinity at zero point time do you let your emotions control you, do I in my identification that must be worked on.  And the only reason why I get snow is the Lattitude advantage I have over you which gives me a mixed climate of SNE and NNE at the same time where systems can change variably.  I do empathize with you though that MN does not want to cooperate with you or me this winter, and for that matter last winter, but at least you were warm last winter and that was a given with your low snow, I was on the cold side of average with little no snow storm until Valentines Day last winter.

Which then becomes rains to Maine and Northern New Brunswick:

71 pages on volume two, will we get to 100 by the end of the month and will we see a volume 3 edition. Nice Soap Opera by the way.

Pattern looks alot better on the gfs and euro at the end of the month.

Hour 384 with that snow storm coming up the coast is hardly anything to look at from that long distance of your eye.  It is simply wishful thought playing to your ego that you want it to be true, but at the end of the day with the way this pattern is shaping up mother nature is in the game this year of "keep away."  And there is indeed a valuable lesson, but we cannot learn that lesson if she gives us just one otherwise all we do is not learn that what you want you cannot always have, in fact what we want in life we rarely get, and if we do we never get to keep it. 

Never doubt the snow less winter scenario even in a climate where there is no man made global warming or there is climate change due to dust, particles, comets, volcanic eruption,  that lead to ice ages.

Locking in the day 9 Euro snowstorm..

Should be locked in as a rain, drizzle, and fog scenario for all coastal areas.  As an added bonus rains to all of Maine - well maybe if there is a trend towards the colder northern Maine might get away with snow with the rest of us getting 40s and 50s again.

NWS Boston

 

A pattern change? Possibly in early March per @NWSCPC  3-4 week outlook w/Alaska trending to a warmer pattern & Northeast (#MA #RI #CT) to a colder pattern. Possible culprit? Powerful cyclone (920 mb!) near Iceland yesterday with #hurricane winds may contribute to a pattern change

AO remains in enemy territory so maybe a pattern change but one that is another version of suck for winter fans.

Cold start to March

And the new map looks a bit warmer and trending mild even in the fantasy land map.  By the end on this fantasy land day most of the east gets back to above average heights.  

Then there is the CFS, as terrible as that model is it has trended much milder for the weeklies and the monthly report has also trended mild bordering on a March torch.  Point being we are not getting out of this pattern anytime soon, and that is something that you will have to accept that if your a snow lover this winter will be noted in the note book as a dismal epic fail.  The year with no winter.  Perhaps pay back from years ago in the year with no summer.  

The abstract message in my opinion from mother nature is that when March does come people who are still hoping for that pattern change are going to be disappointed when if there is any cold air it goes rate back into the west and that winter lovers are still going to be frustrated for at least the first half of the month as the subjective message to our subjective feelings is that

"I am not letting you out, and you need to learn lessons that you cannot expect to receive what you want and nor do I care how you feel."

Even the long term CFS charts which are often probabilities that change on a whim everyday seem to be backing off the cold and moving towards a lesser warm but relatively ridged continuation of a variety of a negative pna.

This event blew chunks even up here. Forecast was for 4-6” and ended with 1.75”. Another close in model fail. Becoming almost routine now. Glad this winter is past the halfway point.

Balancing act between the storm that was not supposed to and the one that was supposed to be appreciable but became the one that failed.  We got more last night in the sea effect which is still occurring.   

Brett Anderson mentioned on Accuweather in his new long range outlook that the ground in SE Canada is very warm which might factor into the snow melting on impact scenario as why it seems that the system was a bust though officially in my area the snowfall that fell was exactly in the 5-10 cm range but we got far less that actually stuck.  Halifax Airport officially got 11 cm.

Next December.....

With an east coast wide White Christmas from Philadelphia to St. John's.

Cannot accumulate much snow with a temperature of 34 degrees all day, therefore I cannot reasonably give the appropriate amount of snow since about 80 percent of it melted on impact, but all in all the event seemed a little flatter and most certainly the surprise event yesterday that was originally supposed to have been a mostly rain event turned out to be the bigger snow event with over 11 cm (4.3 in) in my valuation. 

Light Snow and 34 degrees with 2-4 expected.  Spring time type snow.

As the GFS says you see the NAM and now you see me wetting your dreams.  In fact I literally move snow totals to your north.

The snow is plow-able this morning, and it looks beautiful but oddly resembles a Spring like snow that we are not supposed to get this time of year.  Anyways the totals are still being accumulated which this system would have deserved its own thread if not for the fact that none of New England got affected by this good surprise of a system.  It's good to see plow drivers getting some love in their pocket books.

Here is the latest 6Z New England view from the GFS of the system of discussion:

Wow.  I’ve been busy in the other thread and running around and didn’t see this disastah.    Cell phones and keyboards being smashed.  

Now that is Satire.

Euro ticked south and upped the snowfall 4-7" in Southern Nova Scotia: basically Halifax and Valley south until Yarmouth and Shelburne County coastlines only due to mixing concerns.
