I’d rather have snow than more flooding and slop.

Intsresting... old graphic but it shows precip patterns during El Nino years in the spring

But this is a weak El Nino, and will like be neutral by the summer so who knows

what they are saying is don't trust models that far out. But still the latest eps and gefs show no positive pna. Also show pos AO and pos NAO.



here is our euro and gefs. looks a little below normal far out day 11-15, but not out of ordinary for early March.

enjoy the back and forth cold/warm out east for the next 10 days. Beyond that cold might just settle in for a while.

And dry. We never had any El Nino in FL this winter and i told you guys this way back last summer. A nasty 87f at my house today so not even cooler gulf water temps will help anymore and no rain coming for months.

I didn’t mean literally, I meant that my quality of life will be subdued due to this prolonged spell of unseasonably cold weather.

Just hearing crickets, unless you guys think it'll be no big deal.
LOL, I'm here for the same reason. I think the snowless winter in the haunts of some of the main drivers of those winter weather modeling and forecast threads have been shut out of a lot of these storms and therefore aren't spending as much time talking about them.


From what I gather on the main weather sites, it looks like a possible 5-8 inches of snow west of I-95 in Maryland, Our Maryland, then changing over the ice again. More winter precip in the higher elevations to the west. Set up seems similar to other storms.....cold air near ground level, warmer air over top of it. How and when it mixes determines whether we get snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, or all 4.

We've had a positive AO and yet a huge chunk of Canada and the US have been well below normal. I already showed you what the CPC has for the PNA. Its trending positive. Both GFS and Euro showing a giant ridge forming over Alaska.

Look at the Southern Oscillation Index tanking. That usually means El Nino wet and cool signal for eastern US during the warm months, warm during the winter... not sure about how it impacts early spring March though. Maybe it promotes ridging in the central and eastern US

I'm guessing that the east coast will continue to see swings in temps the next two or 3 weeks but with smaller anomalies. The rest of the country will see below or much below normal temps. CFSv2 showing sudden spring as we approach St. Patrick's day

Still this winter didn't feel like above normal snow fall. Since 12" came in November, almost NOTHING in December and early January. Then it snowed, melted after the Polar Vortex, and since then we had multiple clipper type systems dropping 1-4 inches across the area.
