Seriously though. This winter will spoil many with such prolonged pack. Better get used to getting snow and then torching it 3 days later now. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. 

Maybe. Previous few winters prior to last year were pretty damned warm. Those aren’t normal…like at all. This one wasn’t normal either but the interior averages between 55-80 days of snow cover per season so my expectations aren’t snow and then immediately torching it away. The pack longevity was definitely way more anomalous on the coast and esp south shore/Cape, so I’ll grant that.

My worry is Nino gets strong and then probably a snap back from these cold winters. I know the last several have been warmer than normal…but the trend line is up.  Just sucks.

Super Nino would obvioisly be warm but if it’s regular mod/strong, I’m not too concerned. We can rock in those. Those previous winters before last year were like Virginia climo. They aren’t normal.

More wiggle  room in the interior, but a little more tenuous out this way.
Well, any case, I’m just hoping we pull something out before this month ends. March is a long month to have the culmination of an inch of snow to show for it.

Seriously

Who claims winter is over on March 6 ?

Hopefully an uber super mega nino next year.

+3C would be okay but let’s shoot for +4C

I want the subtropical jet into Canada

Too bad we couldn't trend the trough a bit deeper next Friday, and have that shortwave go underneath us. Would be a nice little clipper /miller b potential

Forget it ... I've struggled almost in vein to articulate this sort of salience. 

Crickets.

Doesn't get learned. 

And it can't

Because of the whole dopa addict thing?  blocks those neuro-pathways.  I'm certain of it.  

It's no different than going into a Methadone clinic and instructing patients to not crave or scheme how to get heroin.   The drug rewires the brain such that it no longer has any neurological pathways capable of learning how to stop - and that blocks any kind of expectation that doesn't include getting high. 

LOL   ... somethin like that

Hoping for that front to pass a bit faster…get it through by Wednesday night please.

This 34° drizzle is pretty sweet.

We were skiing this morning.  Snow was great but the drizzle made the visibility awful despite frequently wiping the goggles.

More psychological nonsense…hilarious. From a poster who is here as much as anybody.

Thanks for keeping it real and reasonable.

Ya, March is long, so one more good event would be perfect. Go out with a bang.  And Let’s get some warm days next week before we go back the other way.

Gotta think one of those systems between 3/13-3/18+ track favorably for SNE..a lot of storms are coming through the pipeline. CNE/NNE look best obviously, but I think we can score one in SNE.

Same people who complained about the last several winters are the ones who can't wait for this winter to end.

As I have previously mentioned there aren't all that many winter lovers here. The majority only tolerate winter because of the increased chances for snow..they are snow lovers not winter lovers..

Hopefully Euro skynet has the right idea for the 16th.
