The climate is clearly doing some weird things, besides just warming up and has been evident for quite some time. The planet's "natural" defense against warming might be to try and refreeze the poles which might be what we are seeing from time to time (clearly bad for those who like snow here in New England), but obviously that has been trumped by crazy amount of warming that is happening. I see it as the planet releasing antibodies to help fight an infection that it has and helping to return it back to its natural state. In this case it is trying to fight something that it most likely won't be able to defeat. Just my 2 cents... Long story short, winter seasons like this year and last, and 2011/2012 may become a more common occurrence as we go along. Not that blockbusters won't occur, they will probably occur more often than not (extremes will become more normal on both ends of the spectrum), until the snow just disappears completely around these areas and we all look like great plains during the dust bowl era...

CC preview?

I was just looking over the water temps all around south of Long Island, no wonder all of these systems end up warmer than forecasted with little snow or sleet to start. Low to mid 40s this late into winter is not helping....

I had 8.4" combined between January and February last year, 4.3" so far this January/February, but actually had more in the Nov event (8") in 2018 than we did in Dec this season (4"), we got skunked down here for that one...I don't know, just feels like 2 ratter years in a row down here

Snowfall wise, this season reminds me of last year...very little snow in January/February, a true bookends season if somehow March delivers again this year.

39 with fog/mist this morning after yesterday's rain and what looks to be mostly rain on Thursday. Then lows near zero Saturday morning, I think I have mentally checked out. I need some sun, everyone around town has the flu. Bring on Spring please...or KU I guess

Someone page @WxWatcher007, looks like he has some work to do in here this morning....

nice, the ground has a coating, but nothing close to an inch. We have actually had 5 trace or coatings in the past week, but all have melted an hour later...still sitting at 14 inches for the season

Mood flakes down here since yesterday evening, it evaporates as soon as it evaporates....

Something that looks good 5+ days out has not worked out for SNE at all this winter, so we all know how this one ends up...

Legit coating out there right now....temperature down to 32.2

Temp down to 36, snow has just started falling from the sky...crazy day 35 to 52 back to 36 with some snow

972.22 mb here

that warmup was short lasting, 50s for maybe an hour, back down to 45....pressure up to 976.8 mb and rising. Wind was impressive, heard a few trees in the woods going down

Temp went from 35 this morning to 51.4 right now, pressure is 972.6 mb...

I was about to mention that "storm" showing up with the perfect timing. We are all in full melt at the moment, minus those in NNE. That storm is going to pummel the Mid Atlantic, leaving us high and try with the perfectly timed streak....

Can't wait, the ground is a soggy mess right now...I would like to keep my power thanks...

Outside of a Hail Mary, I don't see anything, but I am no Met. Any glimmers of hope are quickly extinguished as is this winter....

I didn't experience 2011/2012 around here, but besides the October snowstorm that year ratted. This year seems similar except we had 10-15 days in December instead. Still sitting at 14 inches on February 7th with nothing exciting in the next 10+ days....

Facebook reminded me of "Snowmageddon", had somewhere between 25" and 30" living in Delaware. Back when it liked to snow..

I'm at home with 3 kids....it becomes half empty really quick

I have been waiting for the cold and dry pattern all winter and there it is....

And just like that the GEFS flip normal to below normal from days 11-16....Go figure

I mean, we have scored snow in patterns that we should have not gotten snow in...Those ratter years of past seemed to have a lack of precip or were just so warm with absolultely no cold nearby that we knew that nothing was coming. I just can't see how we don't get "lucky" with some transient block or well timed shortwave. I guess I am looking at things from the glass half full perspective today...

and to add insult to the injuries sustained already, that snap occurs in April, not March....At least we can snow and snow a lot in March
