I wouldn't give up on larger numbers south of the pike just yet. Would like to see one or two more outputs of garbage before locking that in. Still lots of atmospheric uncertainty...
I know I know, and I’m grateful we will get some winter weather in March. It was born during a March snowstorm according to my parents. Just wishing it showed up earlier if for anything to show being an optimist for late Jan and parts of Feb wasn’t a total miss!
Enjoy it while you can! I'm no longer working in Newport, so I won't miss the ride south and seeing less and less snow until I drove into a parking lot full of slush! You should still manage several inches there before temps warm up tomorrow.
But even this one is “weird”. How often does E RI get more snowfall than E MA when it’s not a scraper? The east/west snowfall gradient is an unusual (but not unheard of) one.
Well that forced me to use thumbs down for the first time. Didn’t take long…
Speak for yourself man. You start a “blizzard” thread and then you want it to rain? Now that’s gonna get you nodded at some point… and usually I enjoy the bullish perspective of your posts.
My va-vo (Portuguese Great-Grandmother) used to say a cold snowy winter killed the germs and bugs in the ground. Since it's been such a warm mostly snow-less winter, chlorine rain might get the job done instead!
I think your mistake there is “always”. Nothing with the weather is “always”, it’s chaos and more chaos, and sometimes the chaos provides more persistent results. Other changes are underway so the SE ridge persistence may break at some point soon.
