Pattern Caperil 2021

We just had a wall to wall below normal winter and almost no snow so "averages going up" doesn't exactly explain the lack of snow especially given we have had winters with AN temps and AN snow. Additionally 1/1/90-12/31/99 was the worst decade for snow we averaged something like 2 inches so this recent GW train that is causing less snow doesn't entirely fit that narrative. Broad brushing GW for our lack of snow is the easy way to explain it but there is likely something deeper that has favored SE ridging/PVs going into other continents/a general lack of a -NAO/and west coast troughing. Maybe the answer ties back to GW I'm not sure but you can see clear decadal or multidecadal flips in the 500mb height anomalies globally and right now we are in one that stinks.
I think in a sense you’re right in the different things effecting patterns and such and the -NAO and all .. but I think global warming plays a significant role in all of these happenings... a changing climate causes changing weather patterns causes disruptions to all these things you’re stating ... we’re almost in uncharted territories in regards to how our weather works in a climate that is rapidly changing ??‍♂️

Everything that is happening currently has happened in the past.
 
It sucked trying to keep the plants covered last night with all the wind. I hate these cold temps this time of year.
 
32 this morning my ass and yes there is something that keeps it from radiating like all other sites around it. Maybe it's that dumb lake
They should move the sensor to @metwannabe’s arctic abode. They’d be recording freezes well into May! Maybe June!
 
Once again, colder east than west. only 33 in Gso, and 32 imby. So far saved from the freezes. Lets see what tonight brings...

Rest of the run sucks. It'll be fun to look back at this when we are under 587 in January
If we mess around and have year without a summer and turn around and torch all winter I will officially quit this effing hobby!
 
There isn't a lot of help here from clouds to hold temps up tonight. Not sure what is going to keep temps from dyingvisible.png
 
RAH has me at Frost W and only 34, but my bordering CWA have Freeze warning for the neighboring counties...

Whos getting the over / Under on this one? I'm going Under... 30.
Yeah after last night I'd go under as well. I haven't read an AFD in ages so I'm not sure why they are thinking we don't cool into the 20s
 
3/15 I hit the eject button on winter, I'll be back 9/15.
It's funny that's funny to you though suburbia shouldn't you be out enjoying this weather and not posting
You’d like that wouldn’t you ? I can type and be outside at the same time .. I have unlimited DATA ... also just saw this ... must be SD’s doing ... if he can’t have grass no one can! FAA68FB6-2A76-45B3-9438-0397C78C2819.jpeg
 
I sure hope we get warm by may lmao ... cold weather has said what it needs to say I’m done pushing for it now but I’ll always welcome it
Average in may is a bit too hot for you. 80/56 . Too late for your pleasant weather unless we are well below . Enjoy the 90s are coming as well! You picked the wrong month to root for the cold .

Nah I hate it for anyone in the Ag sector that they have to deal with things like this and it's cheered on but don't say anything about liking hurricanes or tornadoes or hail or heat or drought...no no only cold
