Winter 2025-26 Medium/Long Range Discussion

PNA going negative for a long time. You know it’s bad when even BAM weather thinks the pacific pattern stays stagnant for the foreseeable future. That said you only hate the idea of warmth. Once it hits your skin, you love it.

This winter reminds me a lot of 22-23 just shifted 2 weeks earlier. Early cold and snowy period followed by a long period of storminess on the W Coast and warmth here in January. Hopefully this means we get a 22-23 like rally in February and it gets done by March 15th this time around. Madison and Green Bay recorded around 50 inches of snow in the Feb 15th to April 1st rally in 22-23. Something like that but a bit more spread the wealth and earlier would be nice to say the least.

22/23 was a good time at MSP

3rd snowiest winter on record - 90.3”

9th longest 1” consecutive snow depth streak - 117 days

This doesn't remind me of 2022-23 at all. That was a brutal cold shot but it lasted like 5-7 days. We had a solid 3+ weeks of cold/snow in the region this time. And this break isn't necessarily going to last as long as some of these posts imply. Per both the euro and cfs weeklies the above avg temps are gone before the end of the first week of Jan in the Lakes (add one more seek for thr southern sub). And there will be fleeting snow chances before then.

Tone sincere: not necessarily

But despite the hot start, this season still has dud stank

[Chambana]

Seeing this huge lull in the winter season after the hot start, really just puts into perspective how truly legendary the great winter of 2013-2014 truly was.

Hey, by the last day of March 2023 I was shooting in Iowa so I'll take it.
