Most forecasters who are aggressive and pound their chests as to why they are correct, generally are not good.

Pretty cold run of the GFS.  Weeks of BN?

Davey Epstein told me I was wrong when I said multiple stations in NE would set monthly low maxes for Apruary if modeling was correct. Oops

1816 redux?

The trees were all leafless, 
the mountains were brown,
The face of the country was scathed with a frown;
And bleak were the hills, 
and the foliage sere
As had never been seen at 
that time of year.

Norway ,maples are starting to leaf out here. Oak buds very swelled. It was accelerated by March and some of the warm, sunny days we had earlier. Now it's violently slowed.

We had solid ice outside this morning....all standing water froze.

[CoastalWx]

Yeah my bird bath had ice.

I'm gonna roll with Janpril if I see any more snow!

[dendrite]

As I looked out beyond the hearth I gazed upon two score oxen frozen midstep. I set out on my way and proclaimed to the goodwife “pray remember me. Fare thee well.”

Replace Oxen with chickens, and sounds very similar to you and Lisa.

[CoastalWx]

EPS still looks interesting for later Sunday. Still maybe some snow in NH and VT Friday.

If this pattern had happened like 6-8 weeks ago, we'd probably see like 40-60" in a 2-3 week period.

On the EPS, H7 is a great track for a big portion of SNE into adjacent CNE. Definitely something to watch. Obviously the caveats are there, but Jeez.

So many SNE tulip prancers will be swan diving off the Tobin. 6 feet apart of course

At this point, go for something highly anomalous. It's the only way to make something out of this pattern.

So he says after the Sunday system taps the tail end of the cold (which means as it passes it gets cold one last time 

I don’t see how posting Monday nite temps invalidates anything he said and if anything supports that behind the late weekend system it’s cold ?

i haven’t looked at anything he has posted in 2 months ...so I guess people believe the anomalous cold continues beyond next Tuesday and he believes we jump to mid spring late next week . 

 

So does anyone see logic for a flip to mid spring late next week?

and yes he is annoying

Later Sunday. It even has a high to the NW.  Out ahead of it, we WAA a bit as winds briefly turn SW, but the airmass is still rather chilly.
