Late February/Early March 2026 Mid-Long Range

[WxUSAF]

Yeah if that SSW comes to pass, that could lead to some annoyingly cold but too warm for snow late March and into April.

[North Balti Zen]

Hooray - we are tracking a miserable opening weekend of games at Camden Yards in terms of cold temp and north winds...gross

[Stormchaserchuck1]

Wow the 12z Euro is warm March 6-12.. Looks like 70s in DC every day

The last few March's with SSWs have not correlated with cold conditions.. historically there is a +15day lag to -NAO though

[Jebman]

Even the Sierra just had a rainstorm with low 40s. The entire mountain is a slushbomb. Highs next few days low 50s lows in the 40s damn even the high Sierras are in full Spring. In late Feb. Rivers are roaring.

By the way...take a look at the temperatures at Westminster on either side of that 32" snowstorm!  This is why I scream at people who say we need to have a cold pattern to get a big snowstorm.  This storm was 10"+ in Baltimore and DC also!

Thanks for sharing.  That is incredible.  32" of snow sandwiched by days in the 50s!

To be fair it’s been a snowless torch fest out west this year. Like 16-17 levels of futility.

They have basically no snow on the Colorado mountains, for pretty much the first time ever. I saw a stat where Salt Lake City had 0.1" for the year, beating their previous low of 28" (still some time to go though)

My only hope is the  very cold temps we've had this winter will delay or maybe cut down on the amount of mosquitoes we get this year !

The Sierras are global warmed. I'll have to go live in Antarctica. That place would NEVER let me down. Or Greenland. Both  places have at least 5000 to 10000 feet of ice with deep snow on top. I am so sick of this overly hot planet. I like Texas HOT, but not my favorite snow resorts. IT'S GETTING BAD when you start thinking about Antarctica!

You know whats the WORST thing though.

All that fresh powder in the Sierras! They had 5 to 10 feet of pow. It's all slushed up. Damn. Heavy rain plus high winds and highs near 50 degrees.

Poor Mammoth. Now it's the Slushpuppy Resort.

Oh no...I  guess I'll be stuck just scratching dry skin.

The last few Euro Weeklies runs have been showing no sign of a significant cooldown in late March or first half of April in the mid-Atlantic and most of the E US and thus are in total disagreement with Joe Bastardi’s near annual prediction of a cold late March and early April:

Bacon Ridge trailhead on Forny RD has 300 acres of wild meadows. I threw out 20 pounds of native wildflower mix on the public lands there. It's absolutely awesome. I go there every evening during the spring and summer to just look at wildflowers.

Exactly. Cold in March is useless 99% of the time. A cold spell in late March isn't going to yield some 1888 blizzard lol. It's going to be 45 degrees and miserable. After March 15th I root for warmth.

A week and 2 days till daylight saving time.

 But that means of course that anyone wanting to see the 0Z Euro before bedtime has to stay up an extra hour. I’m not looking forward to that and all of the runs of models coming out an hour later. I like the GFS starting to roll at 10:30 instead of 11:30 AM/PM. The MJO and teleconnection indices also come out an hour later.

It feels like every 3 years or so when the PV breaks down and we get a perfect track cold late April rain storm

You *DO* need one hard freeze in late March though. Gotta trick all the bugs into coming out and then just when they're ready to become annoying? Kill them all off.
