Unless you live in the DC area I never understood the love for it. Suppression/depression incoming If Paul Kocin taught me anything, it's that big interior snowstorms happen at the tail end of -NAO episodes, not when the blocking is at its strongest. With any luck, it'll last long enough that the Mid-Atlantic cashes in during the crazy 5 sigma -NAO or whatever, then we get a system or two while the pattern breaks down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Yup hit 80 here at the house. It was kinda nice to do some early yard cleanup in a t-shirt without the bugs and such. I'm hoping that we see a reasonable storm as the -nao sets in then another as it pulls out. I'm not looking forward to the mixed up frozen mess that's being forecasted for the next few days though. After it does leave though I think I'll be done with this winter, heck I could be done with it today actually especially after home heating oil jumped almost $.50 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the month was -1.98 and March was -.88 so to @Juliancoltons post I believe it was on the rebound late in the month which allowed many of us up here to cash in after being shutout for most of the month thanks to suppression.

UlsterCountySnowZ Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 AN AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW WILL AFFECT LITCHFIELD... BERKSHIRE...ULSTER...DUTCHESS...COLUMBIA...ALBANY...GREENE... SOUTHEASTERN SCHOHARIE...RENSSELAER...SOUTHERN BENNINGTON AND SOUTHERN WINDHAM COUNTIES... At 345 PM EST, a large area of moderate to heavy snow was located over much of eastern New York from around the Capital District southward and western New England, including Interstates 90, 87, and 787. The snow is causing reduced visibility and snow covered roads. Snowfall rates of one half to one inch per hour will result in hazardous travel conditions. THIS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING HIGHWAYS... Interstate 90 between exits 8 and 1s, and between exits 8 and 6-5A. Interstate 87 between exits 1 and 2 , near exit 4, and between exits 2-4 and 4-5. Interstate 787 between exits 2 and 8-7. Visibilities will drop quickly to less than a half mile in this area of heavy snow. Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in winter weather situations. Be prepared for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra time when traveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
