2014-02-19 - Saharan dust transport at Monte Cimone | Italian Climate Observatory "Ottavio Vittori" @ Monte Cimone
Monte Cimone is the highest mountain of my region, impressing that coloured snow
Here that afternoon the air was quite yellow/brown due to the saharan dust.

I'll do BDL but maybe tomorrow.

Interesting. Thanks!

I wouldn't be surprised if some Lake Effect snow squalls make it down to the coast.. Strong enough push to get them here. Just a matter of if there's enough cloud moisture left in them in their journey down. Winds gusting to 30mph all day

Pattern favors that. No doubt. But naturally we humans do have a doubt just based on our lovely 50-100 yr averages. Lol

I'm seeing near or sub freezing temps for me through mid march. Our normal high is now in the 40s.

At O'Hare the average from 1959-2013 is 18 days in March over 5C. The lowest was 4 days in 1960 and 1965. I would think it would be record shattering if not one day in March exceeded 5C. Midway Airport has data back to 1928, and 1960 and 1965 are still the lowest number of days. Highly unlikely Chicago will have zero days with a high above 41F, but it may be less than 4.

Posting this here too. Give me some 3 letter codes you want to see & I'll pull the data.

I've been telling family and friends that some people are going to really get fed up and frustrated with the temps next 2 weeks and not seeing their full lawns past mid March. I mean look at this....

It's amazing to keep seeing GFS results with continues temps near or below freezing. And this is for Danbury, CT.

GFS18z data for Chicago. Wow.
Also says it snows Sunday morning to Wednesday morning. (probably on & off and light stuff) This doesn't give the whole picture

One thing we have noticed at NWS Grand Forks is that GFS model surface temps and MOS guidance such as MAV and MEX have been horribly too cold all winter. Pretty much useless.....


This is the 18z MAV MOS temp high/low for GFK issued 2/24...

-23..........-9.......-24 ..........-1........ -35


In reality NWS forecast is for the following
-10.........0...........-9............11..........-19
