Nah this is beyond the doings of one storm.

Yeah after mid week next week. Until then, it's meh...although weekend will be spring-like.

It's definitely a wholesale change going forward. Although nothing is imminent in terms of individual snow events, that's about as good as we have seen over the last two months. It is by no means perfect, but it's probably our best shot since December. I know that isn't saying much.

The end result is probably some of you smashing your keyboard instead.

Maybe we can get one of those insane 80s late season events. March 84, April 82 etc. That would be fun.

Yeah. I know it’s outrageous to say that we won’t have the most anomalous March ever on record. Silly me.

Yeah real Nice. We spring clean.

Ain’t happening

We P Day. Great event.

Stout looking bears.

If I lived in the outer banks this week I’d be doing that lol. Get some sleep ant.

Ground too warm, ratios, temps.

Go back to bed.

This winter had some things going for it to start among the colder and snowy analog years following a cold November and snowy December. But alas they don’t always work out. Some of the sub seasonal trends were favorable too until the big AK vortex set up. AK was due for some cold too.

No not necessarily. I look at it and go...”eh.” Last year we got a storm in a meh pattern early March, so it happens. But March 2018 ain’t walking through that door. No -NAO.

For me personally, it looks strange. The EPO is sort of cut off at AK with some lower heights hanging around there, on the EPS. However, you have NW flow into the US dumping colder air. I don’t have a good feel for this, but there isn’t really anything that sticks out as exciting for me anyways. It doesn’t mean something can’t happen....but nothing stands out.

Congrats Cape Hatteras later this week.

Gotta give the Pope snow of the white stuff.

Anyways, Hopefully we can get some more events coming up.

Not sure you looked at radar, but it was shredded by 5-6am. Temps near and below 32. And yet those borderline areas still had 3". It had nothing to do with ratios etc. Nobody expected fluff. But a prolonged event of 0.3"to 0.5" QPF was expected before a flip. The main action stayed closer to the LLJ near the south coast which does happen. Temps were not the issue. Hell I wetbulbed to near 32F from being 38F on the coast south of Boston with snow and sleet. If temps and lift were the issue, we wouldn't have had more snow to the south of the areas progged to get several inches.

We had 2-3" just south of the border. That was modeled. It quickly dwindled to very little past like exit 5 of 93 in NH. That was not modeled. We even had numerous posters saying how bad radar looked. It got to the mid 30s after it ended. Nobody expected a foot, but 4-6" turned into 1-3".

I think So Cal is actually doing ok precip wise? The flow has been such where Nrn CA is screwed, but srn CA has done ok.

Is that the same guy who tweeted no snow to the Canada border yesterday?

It all fell to the south. 2-3" at the border. Less near MHT and points ENE because the good echoes never got there. It was not mild ground.
