This winter mostly sucked. Cold/dry with well BN snowfall and busted potential storms thanks to putrid pacific.
C-
Bring on spring. This week will feel awesome but the prolonged dry weather will be an issue.
Weather.com for my region had 59 for Tuesday. Now it's 57 and 56 on Wednesday. If it's sunny we'll definitely over perform and I think 60F is doable.
Almost March, sun's getting stronger.
Does warming lead to greater average winds. I would think a warmer world would actually lead to more stability (smaller gradients, temperature differences).
Crazy seeing Norfolk, VA under a warning for 5-10" while we struggle to get anything more than a 2-3" storm all winter.
Even crazier when parts of Louisiana had a foot of snow earlier
Euro/CMC show nothing. GFS backed down. It'll either be rain or cold/dry.
EPS is warmer than GEFS to start March, I hope it's correct. Screw this winter, give me spring please.
But you're also fighting accelerating CC warming, which in itself is disrupting typical patterns. This winter failed to produce due to the northern stream yet again despite seemingly favorable conditions (strongly negative AO, favorable MJO, +PNA)
I disagree. Pattern definitely supported a threat but the indices don't mean as much as they used to. The northern stream is the killer and it has been for years now.
A strongly negative -AO and MJO phase 8 would've guaranteed a storm in the past.
However I'm tired of all the hype and pretty maps everyone posts. Anyone can hype up a day 10 threat, but where's the results. Stick with 3 days or less and you won't be disappointed.
We're in a cold bubble while the rest of the world is melting. Ironic given the current administration being dead set on dismantling any and all climate initiatives.
We really are a frog slowly boiling except there's some ice cubes keeping us colder temporarily. But once the veil lifts who knows what will happen.
He had a blowtorch winter for all and was harping on a typical Nina Feb with +EPO/AO/NAO & -PNA pretty much all winter.
The only thing that worked out in his favor is our rather low snowfall totals.
