Pittsburgh/Western PA WINTER ‘25/‘26


 Share

Recommended Posts

Ensembles look mostly warm through the period, maybe a brief shot of cold in between (say a weekend).  Can't say I'm disappointed.  I'll be the deb here, but I'm over the nickel-and-dime events by this point.  If it's going to snow anymore, it has to snow.

This is about as wall-to-wall winter as we're likely to get, though, so I'm fine with an earlier spring.  As it is, we look to finish with another below-average February snowfall - five in a row.  Last time that happened was 1998 to 2002.  Then February 2003 happened.

Could we see a similar result next year in a Nino?

I don't think there would be too many who disagree with you. Go big or go home.

What happened?

I think we ended up with a half inch of slop. Lol But it was getting built up leading up to it.

So bored at work so went back to the archives. Looks like models were crushing us 3 days out and even 2 days out. We were all excited run to run to see things like thispost-2217-0-49053900-1393538913.thumb.png.912319070503b87c593c6cd7734316d5.png

Eventually it started to get shunted south and weaker. Models started fringing the area pretty hard. 9GtC2Aq.jpg.179592edf2edb9f24fa678959125d8b7.jpg

Up until game time the models shifted south and areas in WV were the big winner with 6-10 inches. We barely even got advisory level snow.

Not ready to buy into an idea of sustained winter return just yet.  We might get intermittent cold shots, but on the ensembles it still looks quite brief, and even the long-range GFS/Euro have tempered the cold look for next weekend.  A couple days of high 30s spread apart.

EPS and GEPS are generally warmer outside the northern plains.  GEFS shows a more matriculating cold into the east, but that's at the very end of the run, so the potential length is unknown.

+AO and +NAO look persistent.  -PNA, as well.  MJO into Phase 5 is what I'd call "tempered" or neutral in March, but Phase 6 is straight warm.  Magnitude dependent.

Seems like a more balanced or oscillating pattern - no full torch or deep winter.  Maybe later in the month things move definitively, either way.

Boy, if this is the horn he’s been tooting to drum up as evidence for his prediction, it comes out more as a peep than a bang.

I told some of you he does this. On X he posts about the cold coming. On his site he has a different tune of course since he could lose his business.
