I'm with you on that- I already did my transplants in February and the spring bulbs and trees are already bloomed out. I got in spring mode in February and I'm ready to move on. I had my good storm for the year in January.
I've never really been invested in this one like the metro area people have been since it's never looked impressive for our areas in my opinion.
Some people in the main thread don't get that the GFS solution would most likely be terrible for us- February 2014 being the best example.
Right now I'd take the Canadian and run tbh
Legit shot at hottest February ever for BWI. As of yesterday the departure was +7.0 which would be tied for 4th with 1932. That will go way up after today and tomorrow. Question is how much Sunday/Monday will knock it down.
+8.3 is the magic number, which is where the hottest February (1976) finished.
We have five 70+ highs as of today; tomorrow will be an easy win so that ties it at six. Saturday is questionable since the forecast is a high of 68 but if we can overperform a bit we can break the record.
Only two degrees away from getting the daily record high today too.
This might be another one to track at BWI- most number of 70+ degree highs for February (which is also the most for any winter month as well). They are currently at three, with many more chances coming up.
Is the snow hole phenomena over the DC/Balt metro region and northern MD just bad luck or actually a feature of La Ninas? Cause this looks a lot like 2010/11. I don't know if we've ever seen similar outcomes in previous La Ninas.
Yeah this was a low hanging fruit record at BWI too- appears to be the lowest. Although a high of 72 would break or tie on many other days in February too so it's still an impressive record.
Since President's Day last year literally every storm system has had the regions covered by this thread as a jackpot. It's like an extended payback for 13-14. I hope we're done though cause if we reel any more in the rest of the forum might come after us with pitchforks.
1.8" total here. I love the wet snow that sticks to all the trees- reminds me of the March 4 event last year. Attached is a picture of the woods in my backyard.
It's 70 out and three days ago I was sled riding with my oldest son in full winter gear. Is this real life? Snowpack is long gone, you beach people still have any?
