that's twice in a week Spartman has quoted me:

"BY EARLY NEXT WEEK THERE IS GREATER SPREAD IN GUIDANCE REGARDING WHERE THAT UPPER LOW WILL END UP. " LOT Forecasters:

early summery period may have been delayed, but denied. I'm all in.

Climo dictates always temper your forecast and expectations in Early May to the side of a closed upper low versus ridging. Heck, even into early June I don't trust the upper low to win the battle.

From LOT AFD Highlights yesterday at this time: ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. Ugly miss and turn of events.

please, no.

striking how old the years of the previous winters were with so little snow.

Well aware. I oversee 20 snow removal sites in SE Michigan. Felt like it snowed .2" everdyay from Thanksgiving until Valentines day. Strange winter.

stat padding at it's finest.

just a little friendly shiat giving.

grass is still brown. Simpler stat.

yep. The sound of thunder as the warmth pushes in. Shame it won't last long.

depressing. But it is March.

Chicago was lucky.Went from John Coleman to Tom Skilling. Coleman of course later went on to help create TWC. He also was the only met to forecast the Chicago Blizzard of 1979. Official forecast was 2-4". Watched his 10 pm forecast that night when he was forecasting a blizzard with over a foot. I thought he was crazy.
