We did hit 70 at least once in the last year or two and as @daxx said it seems more common in recent winters but I was thinking it is still farily rare when taking all winters, maybe since 1950, into consideration.

Yes you are right. We also had tornado warnings in February at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a stats guy on here...who was it, @Jns2183 maybe? I just did a QUICK scan back to Dec 2010 for any days in Dec-Feb that reached 68 or higher. There is a decent chance I missed one or two but these are most of them. Just listing months and temps.

I do not have time to check now but guessing if you did the other decades back to 1950's it was at least a little less common. The 2017/2018 seasons skewed this last decade high.

Yes, that’s the time that I was upset about the warm up. I had told you that there was no way that we would go over 70... but you were right & we almost hit 80 ! Then, after that, things got really good with -NAO blocking & we got hit with that good snowstorm with over a foot in the middle of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not upset. I love anytime that this board gets a good discussion going. @pasnownut is too busy now with his snowmobile in upstate NY to be worried about the warm up talk. I am very comforted by knowing that this warm up is temporary. We only have 5 days until winter returns. The best days of this winter will be starting next weekend!

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The 12z GFS is on board with snow to ice for us next Saturday. The high to our north east looks strong & this system looks to have a ton of moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard of 93 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Our crazy Canadian friend at 12z has an even colder look for next Saturday & develops a secondary low to our south east that locks in the cold & unleashes a great looking winter storm. If we divided it’s outcome by 2 or 3, most of us would be thrilled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Here are the 12z GEFS snow maps. The first map is through next Sunday after our first potential event next weekend. The second map is through day 16. We should be very busy in here for the rest of the month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 12z Euro was definitely an improvement over its 00z run. This is for early next weekend. Front end snow to rain. Hopefully we can keep trending better as we get closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We get some light snow on the 20th and 21st from ns disturbance. A low pops up off the NC coast on 21st and tracks northeast. Ten days away to change that. Good times are ahead I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I was just going to post that the big 3 all seem to have at least a SECSy look to them. If that locks in, I'm not sure if be working next Sunday even though it's a short Palmerton to Hollywood Casino run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomixwx Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 4 hours ago, daxx said: I could be totally wrong but to me it seems 70s have been occurring in December and January more often. Then once we hit February through the beginning of April it's a struggle to hit 70. Winter has failed to start until February and Spring has failed to start until June recently.

Jns2183 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 We did hit 70 at least once in the last year or two and as [mention=555]daxx[/mention] said it seems more common in recent winters but I was thinking it is still farily rare when taking all winters, maybe since 1950, into consideration. We have a stats guy on here...who was it, [mention=4667]Jns2183[/mention] maybe?I’ll look into it later this afternoon . Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
