This has been the Charlotte Hornets of wintersjust not our year. i'm taking solace knowing it wasn't just us- basically every megalopolis on the east coast is suffering through a record warm and unsnowy winter. sometimes you just gotta concede you were outplayed and outcoach and move on. hoping that the resorts (wintergreen, beech mtn, those types) don't suffer from this too much
there's a reason that when my sister went off to college in memphis i immediately converted to being a grizzlies fanThis has been the Charlotte Hornets of winters
We've hit 90 in February twice before surprisingly (1911 and 1996)... I guess if it can happen here it can happen over there...
It can but it's much harder. Our all time high is only 105F.

The fact that it's even on the table for discussion tells you everything you need to know about where we are.I am skeptical we actually reach this record mid 80 to upper 80 temps here on Thursday. There does seem to be some clouds in the region through the afternoon hours. I have a hard time believing they dont at least keep us below record limits. If we had full sun I would be all in for it but I just dont see it right now.
Wonder if there is below sea level volcano,geo thermal activity at play here.I'm thinking it's the warming of the waters in the WPAC which isn't going to change anytime soon.

absolutely its all impressive warmth no way you slice it. I am just skeptical on reaching record highest max in February (85+) on Thursday due to clouds being in the way. If those clouds clear over the next couple days then obviously that changes things.The fact that it's even on the table for discussion tells you everything you need to know about where we are.
Global warming …. LolWonder if there is below sea level volcano,geo thermal activity at play here.
Heartbreaking to see non stop western troughing on the GFS and its deep, super amped troughs too.
Outside of the Great Lakes region, this really might go down as the “Winter that never was” in the eastern united states and I say this as someone who did see accumulating snow this winter. NYC has still yet to see accumulating snow. Just absurdity to me.
We have a thread for thatGlobal warming …. Lol
Until this changes, and the predominate forcing, convection changes in the pacific, I think our hobby is Don Quixote. Global warming (no matter the reason) and the rut the pacific is in, is just too much to overcome, imo.Once again as we get closer the MJO is almost completely avoiding the colder phases. Not that it matters much at this point though. Whatever is causing this every winter, and I have doubts it's La Nina since it seems like it was the same thing in 18-19 and 19-20 when there wasn't a La Nina, there won't be any change to our winters going forward. We've had what one good month in the last 5 years which was Jan 22?

I wish I knew what to look for to break out of this mold of western troughs.
You are right. The pattern was showing itself, but now the PAC is gonna shut that sh** down.The fact that the 12z gfs backs the nao block that far west and we can't trough the SE is disappointing. You can see why there was excitement for late Feb and March but the pacific is going to ruin it
I found this interesting from Alan! I’m sure if it develops and the cold comes it will be too little too late for most.

If you think I won’t drive the 45 minutes to Danville to see some sleet and snowLooks like the euro registered on the snow depth charts with starting Saturday as IP. Strike up the band
Upper upper Southeast aka Mid Atlantic. Sure.We may not see the significant cold like we did here but I think enough cold can transverse to still give the upper SE a chance at snow in mid march. The evolution is very very similar to December’s
The weeklies say you will see that again in March, so no worries!Three years ago today it was ripping in the upstate
Global warming …. Lol
Mid March will be cold if the -pna relaxes, which I think it will. Just a matter of time. I think I like neutral patterns over niña or niño
We have a thread for thisThe amount of CO2 we are putting up dwarfs the Siberian Traps eruption during the PETM.

At this rate they are going to be fully leaved out by thenBradford's definitely blooming in the area!! They will end up ugly brown when it dips to 25 in March I bet...

I don’t know if it’s one of the 3 latest, but I do know that ATL had 7.9” during the 3/24/83 storm. This is the same one that gave CLT 10.3”What were the top three latest accumulating snows for ATL? Do your thing SouthernWx.
