I cant think of many countries that can hit 100 degrees before the spring equinox. Makes me proud to be an American.

Glenn Burns says that in about a week it will be in the 80s in North GA !

He's just taking the current GFS verbatim and increasing it a bit too. I don't take his word seeing things can change very quickly, and that's just 1 GFS run. He probably just invested in air conditioning companies.

sure looks like 80s there...
 
I know it's not going to amount to much, but I think it's worth mentioning that this s/w currently over central Ontario may bring a chance for a couple sct'd rain/snow showers on Wednesday to east-central NC. While there won't be much moisture to work with (all we'll likely have is what's leftover from the Great Lakes), the synoptic-scale forcing for ascent (largely due to cyclonic vorticity advection w/ some contribution from differential thickness) will aid in triggering a couple light-moderate rain/snow showers across the area. There's a fat chance any one particular location anything, but I could see a few lucky spots picking up some surprise token flakes.

Not sure how much the northeast can take of this. Feel for the DC people, maybe this will be there event.

Here's a preliminary snow/sleet accumulation map for yesterday's winter storm in NC. The far NW Piedmont and northern mountains were the big winners w/ 3-6", a mesolow developed in the northern Sandhills late in the afternoon and evening and likely enhanced snowfall totals just east and northeast of Raleigh w/ 1.5" of snow recorded even down into Smithfield.

Hah if this verifies I'll bump this Winter up to a solid A.... who knows as Brick always says we do better with systems that start showing up just a few days out

We sure do. Yesterday's storm bumped it up to an A for me, but it looks like winter wants to hold on for longer. Maybe a couple more shots at seeing snow this week, and maybe a shot next week on the first day of spring.
 
Magnificent March continues here with a low of 34 last night, similar expected tonight, and a near 32 Wed night! The days have been and will continue to be absolutely magnificent with near perfect wx for outdoors/walking (highs upper 50s to 60s and desert dry RH).

Enjoying the neighborhood, are we? :cool:
 
The air above our heads is going to be brutally cold tomorrow morning in NC, if it wasn't for the March 1993 superstorm, we'd be setting new daily record lows. I seriously can't believe we could be looking at a mixed layer extending from the surface up to 550-600 hPa and the tropopause is arguably almost down to 500 hpa lol.

Model consensus has the MJO at very low amplitude (likely within circle) for the next 2 weeks.

Probably the wrong time of year for me to be looking at it too hard, but everything (MJO, AO, NAO, etc.) except the PNA (which isn't too bad) would have one model drooling 8 to 10 weeks ago.
 
Happy Hour...

Think that was hour 288 so ridiculous fantasy land but there are multiple chances and cold shots to come it looks like :weenie:

I have both my stoves going with temp at 34 and gusty wind. After Feb, I would have not believed we would be looking at this kind of cold.

A bit more north into Huntersville, Cornelius, Denver, but yeah. Very nice pleasant surprise. Very winter like snow too, fluffy dry flakes that was moderate for about 20 minutes. Got a nice dusting at work.
 
I can't decide if I want anymore of these nickle and dime events, or if I want spring to get here, warm up, and get some severe weather to track.
 
Been snowing in Boone for 3 days now, On and off. Over 6 since last night and its still snowing from this latest upslope. Must be nice to get snow everytime the winds comes out of the NW from late October through April
