Since 2011, only December of 2013 was below average.







This is interesting.... Doesn't look like a trough for us at the end of the month as has been advertised









It’s dry and seasonable but dry weather this time of year isn’t all good; besides Chicago’s spring weather can change on a dime | Chicago Weather Center: Skilling's Forecast and Chicago Severe Weather Alerts

Forecast for tomorrows storm changed from rain/snow to all snow. 6" predicted in my area.

Poor folks of Eastern Canada are getting fatigued as well. There's been a snowstorm sitting there for days dumping feet of snow.

Some INSANE pictures from Eastern Canada relentless snows.

Ok. Need to wait a week for anything spring-like. Next week is a bust, looking ahead.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES OUR
WEATHER. CONFIDENCE IS RELATIVELY HIGH FOR DRY AND COLD CONDITIONS
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO BE MAINLY
BELOW NORMAL. TEMPERATURES MODERATE TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

Hmm. Moderation? How long will it last?

Here's what latest GFS says for northern CT.

Stays chilly till mid week.
2 day moderation.
Back to chill another 5 days
Maybe Spring beginning of April but that's fantasy land right now.

Looks like Rain net week then some snow chances again.

And Euro shows pretty much the same as that GFS update

Gah. Only Thursday next week looks decent, could change as we get closer.

Yup and we seen that happen recently.. Not so much "change" but the surface ended up being a bit warmer then shown. The airmasses and flow rarely flips within 8 days of whats shown but the details can.

What I'm trying to figure out is.. When the hell is this new fresh snowpack tomorrow going to melt. Lol and that might make surface temps a tad colder than what's shown too.

No ridge over the warm Pacific but it's shifted East. One thing I learned is when you have the ridge axis around Montana Longitude you get winter storms in the Northeast.

Gotta love that Sub Jet interacting too.

Check this out! AWESOME current Water Vapor Loop

1. Look at the storm spinning in Eastern Canada. Been there for a while now dropping snow over and over

2. Look at the moisture from the Pacific riding the Sub Tropical Jet stream into the U.S which will meet up with Arctic air tomorrow.
