Just got back from a milk, bread and egg run. Mild out there, wouldn’t know snow was on the way, 46F/DP 35F.
Oh, and some guy on TWC just said a slushy accumulation could make it as far south as Philly, so we got that going for us.
Usually weenie caveats that I don't know what I'm talking about...
Unless there's a major shift one way or the other, I don't know that the globals will shed anymore light. People much smarter than me discussing the effects the convention down south is having , so yeah, what you said...short range models from here.
I'm in the Birds, Wiggum camp...1"-2" here, maybe some lollies of 3". But will gladly accept more.
Most forecasts DID say we’d get more snow this year than last.
I wasn’t expecting an historic winter, but I also didn’t think we’d struggle this much in the snow department again.
Topped out at 57F. Couldn’t even get warm enough to invoke the Wiggum Rule.
18z GFS looks good, but I’ll take Bernie Rayno over the GFS any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
Other than one week in mid Jan featuring two nuisance events, it's been another ratter. What are we left with? Hoping for a paste job in early March to declare victory? Hey, I'll track anything as long as there's something to track. But I don't think enough winter is left for "the big turned around" we've all been hoping for.
It will be gone by 0Z but for now the Euro is showing some junk n’ stuff for next Monday. Sure would be fun to track again, this patience stuff sucks.
Gorgeous Pac puke afternoon, 48F w/o a cloud in the sky.
To be clear, I don't doubt there's a pattern change after mid month. To what extent, how long-lived and whether it produces, tbd.
Funny story, I'm currently in a Teams meeting with normal co-workers (meaning they're not weather-obsessed weenies like us). They're going on about the ground hog and looking at the weather on their phones seeing the warm week ahead. Yeah, they think we're clear sailing into spring from here.
I don't speak Chuck, but he posted in the MA forum a few months back that the increase in cloud cover indicates we are headed for a snowier era in the years ahead, so there's that.
I've basically already punted. December was a bust, we got a week of winter in Jan, and now we're counting on the back half of Feb to produce just as we're leaving our prime snow climo.
Again, maybe we go on a heater for a few weeks late Feb into March, but overall this has been another disappointing winter as a whole.
Yeah, this is why playing the 10 days away from being 10 days away game is getting to be dangerous now. Still, I'll remain optimistic late Feb into March produces.
32F
Another post that didn't age well, but again, it was a long, long shot at best.
Finished with 1.10", currently breezy, 38F. Sounds like all our eggs are now in the late Feb basket. At least it's a leap year, so we got that going for us.
It's as if the Lions went into the locker room at halftime and suddenly remembered they were the Lions. I felt bad for all the fans watching at Ford Field. That must have been such a party at halftime, and then...
