Baja blast, avocado vortex, and now this. This one needs to happen or your LLC is in serious jeopardy.

Still have 7" avg of glacier around the yard. This one lingered for quite a while.

A balmy 33F here, feels like mid June. Refreshing. Still have 7" avg glacier pack around. Sun angle feels nice though.

Yes, we have had accumulating snows into mid April at PHL airport and even early May. Is it normal to snow in late March? Of course not, but it happens and this would probably be the season we see it. And if Hurricane Schwartz is on board, well, enough said.

Exactly. Some winters you know its over by the 3rd week in January. This has been steady -AO and ridging in the NAO....and those ingredients are exactly what lead to late surprises and long cold dreary March and early Aprils.

The ignore feature is your best friend.

CMC supports it fwiw, tho not quite as intense but similar idea. Has actually been very consistent.

Mine as well.

GEFS actually came North:

Awaiting the gefs ensembles, but until then, the signal across the other recent ens families looks fairly strong to me:

Of course it will end eventually. But last week after I posted that Hurricane Schwartz thinks winter will linger later this year you said that means the opposite and here we are at 15F at 5pm about a week later. So sure, you can turn your nose to the science and the forecasts or you can just accept that we are having a long harsh winter. It will eventually end, birds will chirp, life will go on, and we will be complaining about 7 days straight of heat indices of 110+ and sky-high electric bills from the AC.

Will the folks who stated winter is over (in the midst of the coldest outbreak in decades mind you), please raise your hands and immediately go to the back of the class.

Drought guy is going to end up with a 3-week out Nostradamus-type snowstorm call for the burbs next weekend. Now the euro has it too.

GFS clipped us but bombogenesis right after it passed. Was close to something bigger. Ends up sub 970 low in the Atlantic.

GFS also with a hit. Winter not wanting to end. Its like the jelly of the month club.
