NJwinter23 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I definitely would not give up on winter yet. It is amazing how La Nina has finally decided to arrive in full force, and as a result the long range does look over all putrid right now on the data. However, the fact remains there is an excellent reservoir of cold air available nearby, unlike going into last March. If we get lucky with good timing we can get an event like earlier this week in a bad pattern. But in terms of seeing a favorable pattern develop down the road, some MJO model forecasts are migrating it towards the phase 8 or phase 1 regions down the road, which have the following 500mb composites respectively for March. A long shot to come to fruition, but we can hope. (I personally would LOVE Spring right now as well) Todays GEFS: Yesterday's GEFS: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I would love to have 1 or 2 more good snows then have 80's and 90's all the way through early fall! I can agree to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTrials Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If he is, I have the same disease. I like to refer to it as an insane degree of love towards summer, girls, and the beach. and beer. and the pool. This. rain and cold then rani and cold sucks. Bring on Summer, we all had enough snow, we can't ask for anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 I like the extremes. 90s/100s in Spring/Summer/Fall and 60" of snow in January. HOLLER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Alex will tell you that we are in it until April 10th for snow. And why stop there? Summer of 1816 ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 we all had enough snow, we can't ask for anything more. Nope not for me. Until I feel like I did on April 10, 1996 (only time in my life I felt I had enough of snow) while living in SE Monmouth, it will not be enough for me.

IsentropicLift Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Well if nothing else, looks like there won't be a shortage of systems to track. Of course we have the big cutter early next week, then another system in about ten days and then the end of the long range GFS looks interesting with a long wave trough developing.

SACRUS Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 OK sign me up for the heat. I am just back from a land with sun and palm trees and its quite addicting. Anyway, warmth or above normal temps dont seem likely unless accompanied by rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmc10 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Call me crazy, but I would like some more snow. I love the warm weather, but it has an appropriate place and time. I like when the weather corresponds properly with the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmc10 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Euro seems a bit further north and warmer with the disturbance. Looks like a whole lot of nothing for NYC. Maybe a minor event for areas of SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwarlock Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Good god are you ill? no I agree with him, why is it any different than you people wanting 70 days of snow on the ground and one foot storms every week that create safety issues for weeks and then still want snow well into April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Even that winter got long in the tooth. I remember having multiple baseball games cancelled because it kept snowing in April. Like I said the April 10th, 1996 storm was enough for me and it pretty much was the last snow anyway so it worked out perfectly. Sorry but like every winter after that one and every winter before that one I am just not there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow and cold in winter was around long before there were safety issues to be concerned about. If I am safe, my family, co-workers and friends are safe then I really don't care about safety concerns. We are in February and heading into March and early April, it is not time to have summer yet not in this area of the US. If I didn't want snow and cold this time of year then I'd live in Florida. I don't live in Florida I live in and around NYC Metro. In winter it should snow and be cold there is no disputing this basic concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Snow, cold, warmth, I don't really care. This was an amazing winter. I'm down for some continued warmth, although a little more snow wouldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris L Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Actually, if Texas and Oklahoma can get 24-30" blizzard at the end of March, (See March 25 2009, which Northern TX had 25 inches of snow), I don't see how we can't do the same if the pattern changes, its a long shot, but, would be very fun to see that.

nzucker Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Euro seems a bit further north and warmer with the disturbance. Looks like a whole lot of nothing for NYC. Maybe a minor event for areas of SNE. ECM has never been as aggressive with this disturbance as the GFS...have to give it some creedence considering how it trounced the American models the last two storms. BTW I am looking for ways to prolong winter...going to Vermont soon, maybe headed somewhere even further north/higher up in March for skiing etc. I don't need summer in March; summer is dreadfully long and painfully humid here as it stands.

pazzo83 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 OK guys, the first day where the avg high in NYC reaches... 50 - March 16 60 - April 13 70 - May 12 80 - June 18 90+ - summer '10 let's do this people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I thought this was storm thread? LOL. 18z NAM has .25"-.50" for NYC east. 18z GFS is a little less. American models more aggressive then all the rest. We know where this one is headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
