When I look at that all I see is the long stretch of positive PNA and just knowing that’s about to flip negative for about 6 months

Last 3 here ... 36,34,36. Forecast of another tonight

Also makes yellow jackets less inhibited. They’ll fly right into your face and into any sugary drink.

I don’t disagree but when you’re looking at 100 year trends you also have to take into consideration the differences in urban areas along that 100 year journey. Lot more concrete and asphalt now vs then. The March 2013 storm is a great example. Just a few miles outside of that heat island was heavy snow. A degree or two made all the difference. I think to draw conclusions on the 100 year trend with snowfall you’d have to get away from urban locations and look at a small regional collection of data. I know that I’ve looked at the data for Winchester and the thing that stands out the most is the randomness of the high and low snowfall totals. I definitely think the climate will be a factor, just not sure that’s necessarily gonna show up in snow totals, or what that factor will be. Now if we get 10 of the next 15 winters as warm as last year, I might be singing a different tune.

I agree with this on temps. I still think that with warmer global temps you’re gonna see small scale climate features that may be colder than the old regime during winter. We just don’t know where those are gonna set up. We probably can surmise that it won’t be us though, lol. But it’s gonna take a while before we can draw conclusions. A 3-5 year lean stretch is t enough to draw conclusions imo.

Uh oh. Subtropics will be sucking down water today.

That was just this summer. Give it time. You’re in a great spot. And it always snows more out there. Literally almost always

This is good. People forget that we had a pretty bad run from the late 80’s into the early 90’s as well. I’m also old enough to remember some clunkers in the early 70’s. Climate is longer than a few years, even longer than 30 if you want to be honest about it.

I sent an @WxWatcher007 to you in the winter thread. You’ll be giving rooms away this year because you won’t be able to sell them. Souls gonna be hard to come by. Gotta feeling

I need help. Had a friend ask me if there’s a site that would show lightning strikes for a given region for a certain month. He wants August for his area. I didn’t know what to tell him but knew that if a site existed someone here would know. Thanks

I’d get banned if this was a winter storm.

Truth

Does anyone here actually remember last winter? There’s no way it will be worse than that. @WxWatcher007 will be giving huge discounts on suites by the time Feb rolls around because nobody will be booking rooms with him.

Perfect!

Not really. It still will show no snow

43 here as well. Just how @leesburg 04 and I roll. Of course we are both Viking fans along with @MN Transplant so we are all cursed.

Already at 46 at KOKV

I’ll guarantee we have a better winter than last year. Mark it down.

You’re in a good spot. It didn’t rain anywhere locally during that dry period. That 250 elevation gain is huge during the winter. You’ll see it this year.

KOKV made it to 46. Kinda surprised. Now wondering if we might see 30’s come this weekend

LOL youre in heaven out there

But it was awe inspiring for some. Truly a storm of the century, maybe many centuries.

The name is awesome. They should keep it
