Will be interesting to see if heavier totals back west in future model runs. Certainly that has been the trend (excluding the current dry pattern of the last 2 months) over the past two years, for things to trend west. Especially on the GFS.
Same thing around here. It is nuts. Never used to be this way.
I get it if you want to put some salt down but several places as of late this afternoon were literally dumping it. I came out of an office building and had to do a double take to realize what was on the ground.
Yea but it sure hung around for a long time. Here in NJ I had a solid snow cover from early/mid December until around February 10th. Don't recall my total but probably around 15" I think. Nothing melted. It was light to some moderate snowfall falling on existing snow cover.
A cold outbreak similar to some that occurred in the 70's and 80's would feel like the end of days compared to what we've seen in recent years with in and out modest cold shots.
This is a cold map for the last day of November. Pretty impressive and not unexpected. Another strong shot of cold into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic next weekend before pattern relaxes.
Been watching that southern feature. I agree. This could be a legit THREAT. Potential phasing? Always tricky to get that southwest energy kicked out but interesting to watch.
On and off snow showers and flurries all afternoon. Had a moderate to heavy squall around 5:00 with gusty winds and reduced visibility. Coated everything. Pretty much melted now but some remains on colder surfaces.
It was the lull right at the height of the season that killed the hyper active storm totals & ACE numbers that were forecast. Had that part of the season performed closer to or even a little above normal those with the bigger numbers would have gotten much closer. Season memorable for all the U.S. impacts and being back loaded.
If you take out highly anomalous Beryl the ACE total would have been even lower. I know we don't take that out but just pointing it out. Beryl was about 35 ACE points (biggest ACE producer of the season) in an area that is usually very unfavorable in early July.
Trace of snow here this morning from a quick moving band of rain showers that quickly transitioned to wet snow. Just a trace of snow on rooftops and the deck. Had .66" liquid from the two day event.
