...and you will start fresh - around December 18th, 2011.

...yes, the warm up is nice, gets the ground nice and clear for the building solar angle to warm everything in March and April. The buds are already showing.

I wonder when the first 70 F day will be in the Tri-State area?

This is why I wanted to wait to post..I didnt want to ruin your warm parade... Looks like beginning of March is going to get fridgid "based on latest data" (see orange highlight).. If this verifys single digits all around the tri-state.

Also note the winds next week and also this weekend should get very windy.

But here's something I found which caught my eye on the March 1st storm... The run from last nights 0z.

#1. I was right about it being big.
#2. This particular run shows snowstorm for us. At 1 inch qpf thats 10-14"

But again...dont worry, its 14 days away...I'll let you enjoy this quiet week for now..

That blue line is the 0degree line. Some say the rain/snow line but there's other factors to consider also. 984mb Low is pretty strong. Blues indicate 1"+ moisture
Be careful how you use "hype"...Hype is considered when there is no backup to prove a statement.

At 15 days in advance you have to almost ALWAYS know models will change senarios. Remember my rule...That far out we just need to see if something is there, its not about track, precip, exact date or amount.

With that said...It was there last week.. It now shows something for the 27th-28th over the last few runs but precip is extremely light .25" qpf..and shows rain....But shows heavy rains for mid-atlantic area...

One storm at a time...Its getting active again...

One last thing about Tuesdays storm for today...I'm waiting for the rest of the 12z and 18z models to come out then I'll state my opinion...Put it this way...based on trends most of you will be happy.

Looks so similar to what happened in February last year. I was working in Mamaroneck it was flurrying...drove to into CT and there was nothing... that same storm we got nothing but a few miles "south" of us got a snowstorm.

edit: warm returns after Tuesdays storm, then cold, then warm....then fridgid, then warm....sounds like something I said 3 weeks ago.

Old Man Winter will brush this little warm spell off and be back for an encore performance much to the chagrin of the heat misers. I'd be willing to make a wager that we will see snow again between now and the end of March. I'm hearing that its very possible that this could be a long winter extending into April. April snow! How sweet that would be.
