I hear ya but I want a steady supply of 60s..and I feel like if there was good blocking, we'd have a fair share of foggy/dreary/misty days and we've had enough of those!

Unless it is going to snow- there is nothing positive about it being cold this time of year.  Bring on spring

Novice question here. Do we think the greater arctic sea ice extent (I believe highest for this date since 2010) will help reset the system so we get a different pattern next winter? I realize we may not even get a better pattern but any change would be good. In the mountains of West Virginia the last four winters have been very similar and crappy , other than March 2018.

It's nowhere close to the median- just doing a bit better than the last few years

Y'all know how this early March 'cold' period is gonna go, right?

 

Just save yourselves the misery and head on over to the Panic Room. Drinks are on me. The rest happens pretty quickly.

If it doesn't snow then we want an early spring

Checks in this morning. Things on the up and up. Checks in just now. Things are a dumpster fire. Rinse and repeat every damn day. 

Definition of insanity.  But tomorrow will be different.......

We’ve managed some pretty good March storms. 93 being at the top of my list. If it wants to snow in my favorite month (my bday), I’m not kicking it out of bed. Lol. Warmth and shorts season is long enough already. Feels like it just ended as it is. I’m all in for one more attempt at some cold white smoke. 

March can deliver but I have no interest in a cold April

Well I'd rather there not be a tease...not even looking ahead (as much as I wish there were something hopeful) This is the worst winter we've ever had outside of 1972-73. The WORST...And who knows if the next winter or the one after will be much better. Had something working against us the last 4 years (but at least we still got ambiance snow...can't even buy that). 

Tired of hearing "end of the month"...mercy. To punt Feb on the tenth? That is a depressing month....we deserve a late save, though...

Hope springs eternal 

Hope is not a strategy

Mid 60's for an extended period of time in mid February - just so amazing - residents of the TN Valley will be sorely surprised when the larger scale pattern eventually flips; if we were to have a winter season like we had in my child hood -1970's-1980's - people would not know what to do not to mention if we had one similar to the 1960's where almost every season in that decade had at least one big storm and several seasons had seasonal totals well over 12" - just amazing! Anyone have any idea when we break out of this multi-year crap pattern?

April

Not a fan of March snow.  Sun angle is a real thing. I’ll be ready to get this winter over with by Feb 29. And will be super pissed If we have a cold Spring rather than a normal one. 

March can definitely deliver!  We did very well March 18

Thanks for the summary, and I did actually read your classroom instruction so I know what you are saying about it generally being a bad setup and us lucking our way into snow.

I think where I depart from the general consensus is when you start calling the last 4 years normal or standard climo. I don't see how a historically bad run can be anything but historically bad. I am not really sure why I even get push back on this. Its kind of strange.

I don't think those other years are necessarily bad, but we've just had bad luck recently with either nothing or March meltathons padding numbers (which I prefer didn't happen). Yes, Delaware has been above average the last couple years in a technical sense. But we shutout our prime climo and the birds where singing and the sun angle was glaring when we got our snow.

I know your thinking "March snow counts". Got it. But I'd take 2 inches in January over 10 inches in March any day. That's just me. March is springtime. March is "ah what could have been if this happened in Jan or Feb". Sick of it. If we cant get a single flake during our prime climo, it shouldn't suddenly become easy in March. Its frustrating. I REALLY hope this "winter" comes to a close March 1st.

On the Blizzard, no doubt if you got 11 inches and your neighbors got 40 inches, you'd be massively disappointed too.  Its just how it is. Yeah, that was a great snowstorm. I'll admit that, but we sure paid a lot for our 11 inches.

Northern DE averages 6 inches in Jan- 20 for the winter.  You have had above normal snowfall 6 of the past 7 winters.  Who cares if it didn't happen in January?  No rule it has to happen that way.  There is no historically bad run

r/s line too close.  warm air too close.  only 4" snow on a 8+ day storm.  I'm out.

Pattern will flip in March- be patient.  Storms and rumors of storms.

If not this one then February could get very interesting with storms and rumors of storms.

I fully expect that to happen.  We'll get an ideal pattern and a couple coastals to give us low 40s and rain in late April/early May.

27 and cloudy.

Nothing worse than a warm winter followed by a cold spring.

I guess we don't have to worry about the weather forecast for next Sunday. 

Now that Lamar choked in the playoffs again everyone can focus their attention on being disappointed by the weather.

Well, I managed to set a new record high!! YUCK. 65.1 degrees vs the old mark of 64 degrees in 1982. THIS is NOT Christmas time weather.

True but if it’s not going to snow- get out there and enjoy the warm weather. Better than being cold and dry.

Maine might be for you.  We’ll be topping 80 in a month.  If I liked warm weather every day would be magical living here April to October.  

I am okay with warm not hot.  But would love to spend the summer in Maine.

Hope it wrong but I guess spring was coming regardless just didn't think it would come in like a lion.  Time to bury myself in the basement until November. 

Yes, looking forward to a long spring and then a summer that doesn't go above 80!

Heavy snow. Roads have caved.
