I really fight believing that without the artful unique solution the next best recourse, if perhaps for even avoiding the worst case scenario and saving humanity… would be the quasi or outright coup de etat … In a rare show, the far more stalwartly stoical mien of Russian general Yevgeny Llyin, broke into an overt emotional display in meetings between his entourage and NATO/U.S. military officials last week. The personal accounting of those witnesses, they were given the impression that there is a morality conflict in the rank and file of the Russian war machinery. They know. The question is whether that leads to some sort of internal reckoning/self-guiding exit strategy - to put it diplomatically.

So Madelaine Albright has passed, 84. She was a central figure in the Clinton administration among other accolades and/or infamy - side of the aisle characterizing.. Last week in NYTimes she's cited as having earlier intimated Russian leader Vladimir Putin would be making “a historic error ... Instead of paving Russia’s path to greatness, invading Ukraine would ensure Mr. Putin’s infamy by leaving his country diplomatically isolated, economically crippled and strategically vulnerable in the face of a stronger, more united Western alliance." Meanwhile, "Poopin" /Kremlin mouthpiece has recently stated that Russia would resort to nuclear weapons if they are under existential threat. Who gets to decide if Russia is under existential threat? HIM!!?? He's making his own rules. He's a psychopath redrawing the VIN diagram of righteousness around his own internal monologue of cold war era super ego. This is still just an intractable situation that requires a unique non military solution - To say nothing of the fact that the statements of Albright ... MEAN a destiny at existential dilemma. They can't end any other way really. So, two different ideologies, from disparate source, projecting a grim cinema when taking both seriously. Get your affairs in order, people. You know ... one almost wonder if Putin's already decided to launch his weapons; he just needed an excuse. Invading Ukraine was a calculated move to get him to that goal. Because it's a nice logical explanation that atones for the fact that he's fVcking making an existential dilemma a reality. There was no such state of dystopia before he became the aggressor.

Look at that Euro D7.5 to 9 ... sneaks a 70 F day in there out of nowhere ... actually, this run ends any contention for winter after that... It doesn't speak to "day 14" per se, but is definitely another seasonal flash that times for next Thursday. probably just transition season identity crisis. -

I think a lot of fruiting floras seem to stress out more in recent years, and do what Will just snarked ... try to flower at their earliest convenience and then get zapped by a late freezing snaps. We have to consider the recent seasonal lag effects of blocking in springs... That "might" just be an example of how climate is changing faster than adaptation rates. It's a crisis, too, in some areas of the world, where the stress triggers both species migrations, and extinction. It may not be so critical for our local orchard species, because they are surviving, but are they as "fruitful" ? It used to be more dependably too cold prior to ~ Easter ..thus not triggering. -

I see that more so on Friday... I mentioned this myself yesterday or the day before. The day may dawn murky and drippy and nasty ...but then the sky gets bright at 9 am and by 10:30 ...11 o'clock, sky lights are expanding to vaster tracts of openness to sun dumping radiative forcing in... the temp probably jumps pretty good. Mex is 57 ..58 along the KFIT-KASH-KBED arc ... which is still 3 days away as of 00z .. some modest climate weighting there. It may actually be dimming that some. Plus the WNW flow may be too pessimistic in the sky coverage .. Basically, the correction vector for those temps circa 21Z Friday afternoon is pointed on the plus side of MOS. While we extol the losses of spring prospects in the various guidance 'general appeals,' meanwhile sneaky balm afternoons happen. Saturday is tricky...Pretty potent S/W and strengthening CAA doesn't carry the same vibe for me -

I'm not prepared to aver we can't get so cold in the last week of March of any given year - CC hasn't evolved quite that far gone .. However, in this particular series of runs, I'm thinking this modulates less egregious in time. Model correction trends over recent months (which I'm not sure that isn't still quasi dependable...) has done that too often. There's two factors, that, and because models do this in the spring as a longer term aspect. Those may be mutually exclusive reasons to doubt that excessive appeal verifies quite so harshly. Yesterday was +5 at 980 mb, -4 at 900 mb and -5 at 800 mb at those levels over Logan at sun up...and we still managed low to mid 50s in a sparkling afternoon. We only missed "higher nape ranking" by factor of annoying wind. That's the sun embarrassing a snow atmosphere's ability to compete. It's gonna be cold... annoying... yup. But I suspect as we get near the models back off ...I dunno, some 20 or 30% of that annoyance. The 00z runs seems to hint that already, with the -20 C's less inserting/residential once that happens. If it ended up more a typical late March pedestrian cold wave, wouldn't shock me. As an aside, for muse it seems like the models "forget" the season is changing at this time of year, while rushing matters in autumns - in fact, the GFS usually starts threatening lake graupel air masses by an August 20th, 300 hour CAA - can't wait to end summer. I've actually seen the GFS try to start porking summer in by mid July. I think they have problems budgeting radiate forcing. In the spring, it's like they start at a given initialization, and as each day goes by in that given model run, they cleanse away the heat, while not adding the daily forcing out in time. In the early autumns they over assess the loss. At this time of year, a D7 to 10 they are all the way back to January. There's an air of sarcasm there; it's an exaggeration - but something like that. Different phenomenon entirely, to bowling season antics however... 1997 was 64F on March 29th ... 48 hours later? Historic blue bomb. Although that was uniquely extreme. It was +3 C and 850 mb - if memory is right - on that Saturday. NW dry down slope breeze, still enough to mix super adiabats and swell the BL to tall heights. Basically, perfect d-slope thermodynamics exaggerated the high temp. In fact, I remember having left the Weather Lab's morning of remnant hang-over, coffee and nerd charting ... around 11:45 am. En route to brunch at Fox Hall, ...walking across University Ave Bridge spanning over the Merrimack there ...the CU fractals seemed unusually high based. Their meager vertical extensions leaning over into Kelvin- Hemholtz eddies.. I mused the abstract artistry - the natural hand painted schooners dappled across a vast bay in some kind of regatta, as they leaned over amid white caps. The moment was nape on roids! Tho was but 60, it may as well been 80 under the blaze of March 30 sun ... I've often enough nostalgia over the eruption in spring energy and vitality over the University life as it spilled out of doors across commons... Meanwhile, the hinted model runs of the aft week were as of that morning really designing that storm. -

I'm personally not buying the magnitude of the cold climate hammer the Euro and GFS are selling D6-7.5, from this range. I'd be surprised if it showing that by this Friday's runs. -

Well... I guess that's not totally true.. I do remember maybe 5 Aprils spanning my decades on this planet... So, I guess based on that relative sample set, there is a 90% chance of being ass pounded beyond the endurance of man, and a 10% chance that it breaks dandy. Heh, the worst month ever experience for weather ( though ) was May 2005 by a country mile, too. The worst summer was 2000 -

There's a sneaky good vibe Friday afternoon if the Euro's right. We end up under the low ( latitude) The flow turns west and the 850 mb cold pool lags through NY ...so we'd be down sloping under +2 to +4 C 850s ( but the mixing depth doesn't likely get that tall, no - ), with warm sun swaths... It'd likely bust MOS too cool. I but that's good for 60 or even a bit better before pancaking. Not terrible. Thing is, the models will also tend to overpollute the skies with d-slope trajectories - so it could be better than that looks moreover. Granted, it's not 78 but ... you know, we all need to get a grip and not expect anything other then shit. April is still coming and there's no justification in lore or numbers, that suggest that will be anything other than an unrelenting interminable crime by god itself -

We had flurries in early May last year ...busted virga CU in CAA type... Then that decayed into a weird 70/29 type air mass with huge diurnals for a week. It felt to me like last spring may not have been "as" bad as those others you listed, but it was just smaller piece of CC -caused seasonal lag shit. Frankly, next week's -20 shot is that too - whether it happens or not. ...have that in the area in early April is part of the same mechanism. -

You likely were not around there in '98/January, but there was a big ice storm all over QUE/NNE ... I wonder how that area did in that. -

Eh I don’t got a problem with warm enthusiast per se. In fact I’ve been done winter for a couple full weeks at this point. I’m probably more in that camp at this point. I was telling the truth though. That 850 as the GFS has the other metrics isn’t warm. And you bunned the truth … sorry -

yeah... more than less intimated the same, it could all just be amplified aloft and not do much below. The 12z Euro loses the idea around D7 ...sells reposition of new suggestion out there at D10. Kick the can... -

It's aight - This message ^^ above is more lucid and intelligent. But the previous exchange(s) were intended for constructively informing you, you are slipping from the central voice in here - in hopes to elicit some sort of awareness on your part. It was not abundantly clear you understood the ramification/connection of the dots on that stuff. This above shows you understand - good. Start with adjective herding... don't use the word blizzard - Listen, there's a short list of verified blizzard condition events, per year, spread out over the entire country. Any one given location has a very low probability of ever seeing one in a given winter. That should/could suggest how often it is really "utilitous" to refer to any given mid or extended range event as a blizzard. Almost never... If you disclaimer your self as an artist or story teller of sorts...that's entirely fine - in fact, you have a native flare there ( perhaps). But when one drops these a-bomb dystopic thrill seeking winter nuke posts, that just don't really follow from or match, as though to be taken seriously, that doesn't leave folks much to go with. -

The best that I can tell ... from that particular source there is almost 0 filtration through Meteorological machinery in the formulation of post content. There's some vague toe-hold on reality, only for the that the user starts with a chart, but from there....? It's really like sitting through a Looney Tunes day dream of "Ralph Phillips" Eventually ...if this has not already begun to happen, this individual will start getting ignored altogether if he doesn't modulate his tact ... I tried constructively to warn him of that destiny, yet he replied with post like, "Yeeeeeah I don't think that's gonna happen" I don't know what you call that. "Pull the gun out of your mouth or you might blow your head off" --> "yeeeeah I don't think that's gonna happen." It is what it is -

Looks the same as it did yesterday when I brought this up ... ... an emerging signal for amplitude now ~ day 6 - 8.5, but the last 24 hours of runs haven't provided much confidence in what that will be. It may only express aloft. I was looking at the individual members of the GEFs and about half have some impressive evolutions at 500 mb, from the MA to off the NE coast ...roughly D7 .. 7.5, but then you go look at the sfc? garbage - Still appears destructive interference is going on out there ... which may or may not limit this potential. The big bag of trough garbage in the mid range that wobbles and contorts its way through the east does two things: one...it normalizes the thermodynamic gradient but perhaps more importantly, the wave space between its aft/exit aspect wrt to the amplitude diving in, is too short. Because of that, the wave coming in can't pop crucial lead roll-out ridging, such that would feed back ...slow down, situate/cross up jet axis ... blah blah big storm. The GGEM nicely exemplifies this type of 'starvation' result. It slowly deepens a middling low over 18 hours. It has spring snow in mid level forcing... All this could modulate more developed, but the total wave spacing needs to either open up ...or less emphasis in general in handling the mid range ...such that it doesn't evacuate ambient baroclinicity and/or back-impose wave spacing contention. -

It looks to me like we have an emerging signal from the mid Atlantic to coastal New England, ~ D7.5 thru 9.5, but of what? There is likely to be L/W amplitude positioning thru the eastern continent during the time frame; that much is actually above confidence for me. But there is all kind of destructive interference ...that really begins much sooner in the individuals operational versions, and blends of all. The trouble is, the models are bunching a lot of noise on the front side of that more important period of time. The D4.5 - 6.5 period features a sort of typical spring climate, half commitment bag of trough that in itself is tussling with internal mechanics. That whole mess then advects stage right, cleansing away the thermodynamics Better player mechanics then arrive into a dearth of baroclinic instability ... ends up less. Not for not, ~ 1/3 of the GEF individual ( 00z ) members, manage to engineer at least a middling low that strafes the MA to NE region thru the above time range - slow mover. Spring blue judging by the marginal appeal/540 < hydrostatic height coverage while that is happening. The others don't do this/ keep destructively interfering. -

IMHO the NAO might be partial but the mor important change is the PNA bouncing around positive every three to five days aft of the recent -EPO that’s long gone, but residually, having loaded cold in Canada, this could lead to trouble That could mean bowling trouble … pretty much hitting climo too. 18z almost parroted the 12z Euro in the fantasy range … Not a testament to possibility … yet, but a testament to the vulnerability in the physics right now for these possible deep pinch lows -
