Pattern Mega March 2023

[olhausen]

Just noticed that none of the 3 GSP stations (GSP, AVL, CLT) have recorded a temp of 32 or below since 2/18. Pretty crazy when even AVL hasn't been below freezing in nearly 3 weeks!

Same here. Last freezing temp was 19 degrees on February 18th. The closest I’ve been was 33 degrees a few nights back. January 2017 was the last time I had a stretch this long without freezing temps in the winter. 2017 was worse because that stretch was in January and in the dead of winter. I think the streak will be over here on Saturday morning.

Looking at the maps I think most of this is sleet or cold rain registering as snow but fun to look at

Seems like temps trending up as the forecasts become more near term. The mid 40’s we are looking at next weekend likely end up in the upper 50’s. Solar radiation is too strong.

one of my favorite things about owning cats is doing this thing with them where i dangle a toy in front of them and they get all excited and chase it and right as they jump and think they have it, i yank it away and they wonder what the hell just happened. don't worry, there's no connection between that anecdote and this snowmap

The red laser dot works better. When you shut it off, just whoosh, disappears. Gone

Big east coast trough just in the nick of time before my cruise. What a winter ?

Snow is on the NWS point forecast for the Triad now. Looks like a decent chance some N/W NC folks could see their first flakes of the winter this weekend and avoid the shutout. Doubt there will be accumulations, though, and I’m not very hopeful for anything out my way in the Triangle, but we shall see.

You're fine. They haven't been right in that time frame most winter when showing cold and deep east coast troughs.

Impressive stuff

With temps slightly above freezing there would be a lot of melting. But I also bet (as portrayed) there would be some big sloppy flakes coming down for somebody.

What cruise you going on?

 

[BHS1975]

Strong cold phases of MJO are going to continue to want to keep troughs over the east.. as we gets things closer to medium and short range we see that trend happening View attachment 134107

Better late than never I guess

We’ve seen the cold moderate in the near term. It won’t torch though.

Maybe the smallest of legs here

Oh no

Personally I am ready for Spring now, I don't really want March snow as they tend to be slushy type and vanishes quickly. Knowing the Climo of the past 30 years, I think it likely that is what we see again here.
