Although this could have an area of over an inch in higher spots. But it would be really localized.

It won't impact mine....only one of these all season and it waited until second week of March.

It wasn't like this...big difference between 50 and 70.

Not as bad but it did wipe out all of the snow..

To be fair, That was the every year January thaw, after a frigid December…that featured really good snow here.

Doesn't appear much of that impressive rad display over eastern PA to eastern NY is actually reaching the ground?

Your area had more snow in December than this area.

I mean..name we a winter without a thaw? The whole first half of 2014-2015 sucked....95-96 had the worst that I have seen. If you need to avoid thaws at this latitude to be an "A", then you're going to wait a loooong time...especially this day-and-age. I understand we had some Pacific trough periods....I predicted them 4 months ago.

Very true.  But that thaw comes just about every year. Can’t downgrade a season due to that imo.

It's too bed that reversal attempt in early February failed...that is the one I expected to land.

I see lots of light and mod rain obs over ePA, although a lot of dry air is pouring in below 700mb.

Did 76-77 have a thaw of more than a day or two?

Yup..95-96 had monster pack, and it was gone in a day(unlike this week that took the warmth 4 days to wipe out…and some spots still have cover)with a monster cutter and huge warmth.

How many records were set in January?....this stretch broke all time daily high temp records..in some cases the records were smashed.

75 at my home on Tuesday

I don't think the January thaw set any records...it was a pretty run-of-the-mill mid-winter thaw.

I was wondering about that season...would have to look. 2000-2001 comes close, but more for the interior...coast was susceptible to unfavorable tracks.

Yes sir…that would have made a huge difference.  Could have taken this winter into an all timer category possibly.  But surprises always abound…good and bad.
