Eight degrees -- latest ever below 10 degrees.
Yup, its not just CT, its 75% of the country now. Check out Kansas City. Normal is 60 degrees. They couldnt get out of the 20s! and snow on the way for them.

Monday March 25, 2013 Storm Update

NAM joins the Canadien bringing heavy snow into us. Euro and GFS stay south.

Left is NAM, middle is GFS, right is Euro. Notice the precip on the NAM. Blues are HEAVY precip. It would be all snow. The blue line is the rain snow line

Being its the last frame of the NAM we can only see data until then. Shows whiteout conditions for Litchfield and Fairfield counties from 11am to 2pm

Well, what I posted had to do with past history, not other parts of the US......

So, Camb, longterm temperature-wise, do you think we'll have a fairly mild summer altogether? Or do you think we'll have one of those lightswitch springs where we go from this cold to high 70s—basically no real spring at all?

March 22, last year actual temps at 3pm..



50s will be normal now. I dont see 70s yet or even consistant 60s.. In fact we might not get many 70s/80s until June/July..
We'll stay in the 30s/40s for another week+.

We will moderate which means 50s in April but I dont see the Ridge building in the East just yet. As far as summer... too far out. I dont think we'll skip Sping. Not with this setup. Its going to take time to break down the blocking and upper level pattern we have. We "MIGHT" actually skip summer. Because if it takes time to moderate that means we could go a couple months (June-August) getting back to normal. Could be one of those years we dont get many 90s. But thats all speculation right now.

Respectfully dont agree that you can tell this much from the current pattern.

When you have massive blocking pattern in the north atlantic, it doesnt just vanish. The 15,000 foot level take time to move around and adjust and change. Point being, a ridge doesnt just show up after it breaks down. So we have to look at current pattern. So we're talking weeks to break down (which its starting now) and then weeks for a new pattern to set in. So the transition is key. Does the ridge settle into the East or does something like storm tracks prevent the ridge from parking in place over us.

Had we been in a zonal flow then a Ridge in the East would be more likely. We'll see. I'm not good with analogs but I would make a bet that more times than none when we had a pattern like this we never flipped the switch and went to torch. I could be wrong
