I highly doubt it'll be as pleasant and picturesque as he thinks. I see a lot of dangerous weather this spring & summer.
Also late March & April/May will likely have some crappy stretches with easterly flow guaranteed to cause misery.
Well the good news is we don't have to deal with the snow question after Saturday for at least 8 months, which means Snowman will shut up finally.
I suppose there's always a chance of a late March or April fluke but the weeklies don't support anything of that nature.
After this weekend we can finally toss this crappy winter in the garbage. Not a disaster thanks to -EPO but solid C-
Warm weather (60s & 70s) from mid March onward. Hopefully it stays like that through May. The 80+ weather could wait till late May though.
One last hurrah on Saturday. Very cold Saturday night with temps in the teens and near 0 wind chills.
Impressive for mid March.
Funny how areas in the south will end up with more snow than us this month.
I think if the timing were better we would've seen a widespread 2-4" with 3-6" local spots.
Right now it's dependent on elevation & banding. Nam is the best case scenario.
You're not going to be seeing a hot, dry summer anytime soon, if ever with those boiling SSTs offshore.
It could be dry for short periods but high dews/storminess will prevail.
Same thing all winter, lack of blocking. Nonstop +AO. -EPO was able to prevent a disaster of a winter but wasn't strong enough to give us a 13-15 winter either.
Too much -PNA as well
People also get drawn to those people when everything around them is crumbling.
The strong-man leaders exploit those weaknesses and often succeed.
Even now our own wannabe dictator still has a massive following (cult-like) and would probably get re-elected if he ran again.
Additionally Atlantic SSTs are very positive. Another tropical threat or two seems very likely this season with strong SE ridge
Severe weather season will be active too
