Northern Foothills Snowman

Now we go into phase 8 of MJO. About a month or so too late.

So which one do you go by in March? JFM FMA MAM?

Have an MJO question I’m curious about. JFM you want 1,2,3 &8 for cold phases. FMA they are the same. MAM has 1,2,3,4&8 as cold. So if MJO goes into 4 isn’t that a cold phase for March? Trying to understand this

We didn’t have any snow December 92 and January February and March 93 until the blizzard happed.

I’m is NC foothills near VA border. I have a question about the MJO. JFM has 1,2,3&8 as cold phases. FMA has the same cold phases. MAM has 1,2,3,4&7 as cold. so which one do we go by in March? Thansk.

I’m 62 and I remember the snows in 70’s and 80’s on going winter storms. I remember we had 3 TV channels to watch back then.Channel 2 12 and 8 Channel 8 had a meteorologist named Frank Deal. He was the best at forecasting the snowstorms. I always liked his forecasts best because he would usually predict more than channel 2 and 12. Most of the time he was spot on too

JB says rocking coast to coast til Easter after early March warm.

I don’t know the ages of members on this site but I would venture to say many were not around in 1993.I remember it as we didn’t receive any snow that winter before March.We had warm temperatures in February too. My wife and I went to Maryland valentines weekend that year. 40’s and rain at home but major snowstorm on 81 in Va.

I may be wrong but I still believe winter weather will still happen in NC before winter is over and not just the mountains.

It is absolutely crazy how in a week we went from a cold pattern and potential snow to warm up and rain. Wouldn’t it be something if in a week went back to what it was showing 7 days ago? The models are obviously horrible any more. just look at the storm the they just went north. I mean right up to storm start time models were still changing and they still were to low for some area.
