Could it be that those greenland blocks were positioned too far S/W that ridging occurs over the east coast? What if the blocks were more central or east based?
-
Despite light radar returns here, it’s still raining moderately and hanging in tight. Not the first time.

Nearest PWS says 1” so far today. Ashburn
-
Now 2” in ashburn
-
Yeah if this was an extended nina, but now that it's finally losing grip on the mid-lat pattern, we're seeing some changes. This soaker is pretty nino-ish as others have said. 1.18" so far in Ashburn

Deck furniture cover was drenched overnight. Must have been an isolated cell over me. Ashburn
-
36 for the low, no frost. Close call for my new garden. Next time I’ll wait until may to plant
-
I just moved back last summer, and this is the first I’ve seen something like this. If it’s been much longer than that, then the la nina must be losing its grip on the mid lat pattern
-
About time. We could never get a +pna wave to stick long enough for even one legit threat. Now, this bodes well for next season.

0.9” ashburn

2023 Mid-Atlantic Severe Wx Thread (General Discussion)
Terpeast replied to Kmlwx's topic in Mid Atlantic
Gusty and pouring. Think I got 2 cells to train right over me -
Anyone hit 90 for the high today? Got up to 89 in ashburn
-
Makes sense. The record strength -pdo will surely put the brakes on nino development that puts a super event at an almost zero chance of happening. If we want a snowy winter, we better hope that the developing nino gets strong enough to pull the pdo towards neutral-ish so that the mid-lat atmosphere begins to couple with the nino before winter starts. Moderate will do it. Weak won’t cut it.

Got a frosty car-topper. Did I plant my new garden too early?
-
Got almost nothing here in Ashburn. Ridiculous
-
We could use the rain. About to start a vegetable garden. Ground is dusty bone dry
-
It’s nice out, but the pollen has been killing me
-
Hit 88 for the high today. Ashburn

Looks like subsurface has been cooling over the past few weeks. +4 maybe +5 now down to a max of +4 at 175W centered on April 3. Yours is more up to date, and you have it down to +3.25. And it also looks more west-based this time than previous super ninos, at least under the surface. We'll see how that propagates...
-
Were we forecasted to hit 80 today? This morning I was expecting to wake up to a low in the 40s, but it was 61 at 7 am!
-
So you're thinking that after this winter, we'll see more of an east-based -NAO with a trough over central Canada/CONUS?
-
@psuhoffman yes, that makes a lot of sense. Warmer ssts with more moisture makes it easier for waves to amplify earlier and faster as they eject from the rockies. Hopefully flipping to a nino will help cool those gulf temps down. But that may take a while. Ninos tend to suppress hurricane activity, so the gulf may get even hotter before it cools down.
-
More frost than yesterday, but car thermometer said 36. Maybe bottomed out at 33-34
-
Which makes it even more mind boggling. We can somewhat understand this season because Jan-Feb was a +8 torch through and through, and us not producing for the 2 blocking episodes was bad luck. But 72-73 was wet with near normal temps. It probably should have been a decent or even a big winter since it was not that warm then. Bad luck as much as the +nao.
-
About as often as it did this year. But even then, we used to cash in on smaller 1-3/2-4” events in setups like these.
