12z GFS gets some warmth in here but best is west

Yeah no doubt that it won't be mild for very long. But Spring is Spring, it can be colder. like we said last week, cold in mid-March just doesn't have the same bite, especially with any sun.

Not trolling, but after the 8th or so it looks mild.

heh heh... any 'trolling' is going the other way as people cling to yesterday's la la land like it's interminable.  

Denial, certainly avoidance, are just as coherent as that warm signal is...  And 'sides, as March is a transition month anyway, tough cookies.  

If it makes anyone feel any better, no one is saying we don't deal with a bowling ball or another late attempt in general.   But July is still fucking coming... and in order to get there, a warmup at some point or the other has to occur and heralds the onset of that journey.  Hello -

[Torch Tiger]

unless you're controlling wx outcomes, it's not trolling. lol   we all have preferences - if you don't like heat, it's equally not trolling hoping for cool.  it's just people are over-sensitive and neurotic since they can't control outcomes

Ha... this is gon' chap some asses but the 2nd Sunday in March is the 8th this year, the earliest possible date the clocks will be switched ahead by an hour ...

On a day that is 74 F?   ...while not priceless per se, that's certainly handsomely rubbing it in

This might throw some chapstick on your chapped ass.. but with snowpack and big warmth like that will be greatly muted . You won’t have 70’s in early Morch with feet of snow OTG. Mild sure but not that

We know where this is headed…the same place it’s been headed all season….go with the muted warmth this year, and you’ll win.  I’d be happy with some 50’s, and call it a warm up. And it won’t last either…

I've seen 72 over a foot of snow ... 

Granted it is rare

March 98 laughed at pack in NNE.

That was the most incredible early heat I'd ever seen.  

Ended just as handsomely, too -   

91 to 38, 2pm to 2pm, 31st to April 1.

Never to this day have I seen a BD that powerful.  It was 3pm and the T on the wx lab monitor was flipping around 89 and 90, while up in CAR, ME, 50 mph gusts from the NE and something like 33F - can't recall exactly but you knew...  That was the 3rd day of too... like 88, 89, 91 on Campus.  So the correction was going to be felt.  Pretty sure at least wet snow was on the table a week later.

Tied for the largest spring 24hr drop at CON since at least 1950. I don’t recall the May 1992 one but that looks brutal too.

JB is ACATT so he will be great in a winter like this

While this is true…he is saying that he feels the warmth will happen(NYC as an example), but it will be short lived.

i think that first one (2010) might be a little off. 55 to -58? lololol

Yeah I ignored the bad data.

The snowpack being as meaty as it is across much of New England and this warmth talk had me thinking of rapid snowmelt and flooding, and of course on my walk through the park I saw this.
