Early March is still below normal on guidance. Canada quite cold.

 

New maps show first two-thirds of March warm:

How’s 70+ the first week of march looking? Asking for a friend.

Probably not, but temps should be in the 40s or 50s during that week, maybe even a 60.

We should see a 70 at some point in the middle third of the month.

Another weenie gfs run. This doesnt appear to be the end just yet.

Are you tracking the blizzard yet or still focused on 70 degree days in March?

I guess starting the spring thread on 2/12 kinda jinxed the whole warm up/torch/winter’s over hype

Man is nothing but a fool when it's hot he wants it cool, and when it's cool he wants it hot... always wanting what is not!

I'm tracking it. I was just answering that person's question. I was just in the office yesterday because I actually have to do work, so I didn't have time to post on the Blizzard thread. I have posted on there in previous days, like Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

Nope, it's going the way I had predicted it. I did say there was a possibility of one big snowstorm during the final week of February, before the winter went away for good in the last days of February/first days of March.

I always prefer 80 and sunny, like 3/29/2025. I realize it's just not going to happen all the time. Some days it's going to be hotter, and some days it's going to be colder. But some months have an obvious cold signal and you know are going to be cold heading into it, like this month or March 2015. But just be aware that things do eventually swing the other way. Some of our coldest winters, like 2010, 2011, and 2015, had torch months during the spring. March 2010, April 2010, May 2010, April 2011, May 2011, and May 2015 are all Top 10 warmest months. Do not be surprised if one of this spring's months turn out very warm.
