Partly Sunny! 47F sitting in the sun feels like 60F. If I can't make 50F today it looks like I won't do it for the month of January which is a rare occurrence.

In other news NYC is tied with 1875 for least snow at a trace following a mid December SECS/MECS. Imby it's .70" 

 

Just nailed 50F/Sunny....my snow mound may be toast.

No joke ....I''m too old and too lazy.

Just walking across and shook  my  head.

Snow pile in North Wales ...

Can Howie too and we'll have our HECS.

We'll have to settle for a 1-3" / 2-4" thing because Howie isn't going anywhere...

Pederson just got canned....snow is coming.

A flake moving in??

If there was a two weenie button I would use it.

If there was greenskeeper would have used it already...

Not with near two months of +PNA, and good stretches of -AO and -NAO. This could be a special kind of fail. Now of course if there is a MECS the last week of January all is forgiven.

 

Here it is, I lowered my standards :

- I expect nothing before the 25th but temp highs will lower gradually.

- 1/25 to 2/5   a storm 4" (maybe more)

- If this doesn't pan out...screw it. I'll start collecting seashells or stamps as a hobby...

If we don't get score something of significance in the next 10 days(at least advisory level) we will have failed monumentally in the post December snow period. 

Such a tease to have an early snow and get in a rut like this.

 

You know the drill...this has happened many times. Pretty much annually.

I fully expect to open the door on the 15th w/a artic blast and blizzard conditions...

Actually had a few flurries about an hour ago. They said any snow before the 20th is bonus snow. Epic 1996 redux pattern ftw!!

Same here....I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

Valid points..I am aware of climo in the southern snow belt. Just seems incredibly mild this winter and lots of rain so far.

Not here.

I think the average high is 39/40F for my area currently and I've been spot on. Some days highs are mid/upper 30s, some days low/mid 40s. No torch or artic air...just average. And definitely not "lots of rain" here as well....

Well, here it is, lol. It's small ( glove for size reference), but it's also been around for 24 days now. Enjoy!

That's just sad to view.

I think my mound has several days left....trying to make it to a month.

Seriously the local weather is now similar to Baltimore and Washington DC. Thinking of just running my cars is the driveway 24/7 to increase global warming..wtf is going on with no winter weather.

Only difference up here is it's a couple degrees colder. Doesn't matter though, storms slipping to our south and it's still too warm to snow.

This winter hasn't been a torch by any means but too warm for snow/frozen stuff. I feel like I've been hanging between 35 - 45F for highs for weeks and the next week seems to be the same....

When the MA forum only has a hand full of post overnight there's no sense looking at the Euro and any other obscure model...

Lol...I was going to say that I actually plow that parking lot, j/k. I also have a tiny bit of snow left in my shaded backup pile - about 6x8" and 4" high. Maybe I'll take a pic of it tomorrow, lol.

That would have been a good one!

To his advantage he has a whole damn parking lot to create his majestic mound. You have way less and limited area. Probably mound size per area available you would win....

Must be a relative of Kamu's

He may have tutored Kamu? He's a pure snow preservative genius,...damn good!

I get so jealous seeing seniors walking around during a heat wave wearing sweaters while I'm walking around panting like a mutt.

During the Summer, my mother (upper 80's) at night will sleep in mid 80s temps/humid w/no fan or A/C.....makes me cringe. I would be a puddle.

Just got back from the post office and believe it or not North Wales train station still has a couple mounds of snow from the mid Dec snow. WTF?? I'm starting to think the snow plow guy is a "closet" snow weenie? He may need help. He plows the snow in large mounds in SHADED locations so it last....God Bless Him:)

35F/Overcast

I go out with thermals and two pair of wool socks, sherpa hoodies etc. and I freeze, I will have to move to the equator 

 

I haven't had this problem yet but it's called getting old. Didn't you ever go into your parents/grandparents house when you were younger and you thought to yourself, "It's hot as shit in here!".....

36F/Cloudy

There is no way out you have a permanent condition sorry

 

Yeah, I think the only thing that will help me is old age and memory loss. Winter will fly by without me even knowing it...I'll be too busy outside yelling at kids to get the hell off my lawn.

34F

The "good" pattern was always supposed to occur after the 15th. I'll give it until next weekend to see how things are shaping up. If we're still waiting another 10-15 days for the epic 1996 redux pattern or, not the next storm or the next storm, but the storm after the next storm, I'll go full out Ji!  

I seriously may consider turning into a "severe weather guy" rather than a "snow guy".Tracking snow takes so much time and 80%+ of the time you will be disappointed. With severe weather you know when a cold front is coming through/instability....check the radar usually around mid afternoon, hope for red echoes developing and you're good to go. Sit back and enjoy...none of that 10 day out shit only to get screwed.

Pick up .60" so far.

Patiently waiting for the greatest winter since 1996/snowmageddon/last ice age to get under way, 44F.

You've been reading the Mid Atlantic subforum, haven't you? Bunch of sinners over there....

45F

33 and rain here. Never wanted to have to post that but there it is.

Happy New Year everyone!!

Yep, 34F here and rain. Disturbing but it's sadly better than a blow touch...

Happy New Year all!

Drunk neighbor igniting sticks of dynamite an hour early..

30F

Was following the ECM run at day 8 and it looked great, but with the small problem of lacking precipitation wouldn't that be a kick in the nads lol

Not to mention I think from imby N&W we are going to experience anxiety and gnashing of teeth, it's the Arnold Schwarzeneggar  of blocks predicted. As bad as 2010 was for us this could be even worse. The ugly word suppression is coming back.

 

Just what I like....positivity!

40F

42F but getting some pingers mixed in.

I was outside/feeling pingers and thought I was crazy/hallucinating  because I knew it was 40F+....apparently not.

41F

Just took a walk right before midnight and still a couple semi decent mounds (1'-2+' tall) of snow at the North Wales train station. Not too shabby....lasted 2+ weeks when all is said and done.

Temps rising as expected...36F a couple hours ago, now 42F.
