Misc Winter 22-23 Whamby and Banter Thread Part 2

When Death Valley is colder than anyone in the southeast including a lot of the mountains around here for around 3 weeks straight you know you've hit rock bottom in this $hit hole of a so called winter. I never thought I would be so happy about it being 48 degrees out. 48 degrees for crying out loud. That's how bad it is. Everything in the long range has been a mirage and disappears except for the brief Christmas cold snap. Only thing that verified in the long range for cold. For the highs. 30s turn into 50s. 40s turn into 60s 50s turn into 70s and 60s turn into 80s in the long range. I'm hoping for this March cold snap around mid month but how much hope could you put in it the way this non winter has been going.

Negative PNA 4 Life. California had negative anomalies for the duration of the GFS run. I’ve never seen anything like that in the south, even when the pacific has been cooperating.

The NAO spaghetti plots trending neutral in early March. The PNA all over the place though looks to slowly head neutral.

Winter weather advisories throughout the pacific NW tonight. Crazy that Seattle and Portland have become snowy cities in the last decade. They also seem to have stretches where it’s storm after storm.

Stupid question I know but say we have a god awful cold wave say March 13th (random date) like low teens below freezing for 2 days would it kill off all the grass and trees that have leafed? Just a random question.

Depends but most likely it would kill most flower, plants and grasses that has already bloomed.
 
Thanks, the most random things enter my head. ? I’ve seen it get down to 24 in March with heavy frost and not really do a thing, but the highs were in the 50 for say.

Is it safe to say that with each passing day in March, snow climo becomes less favorable ?

This would be a self correcting issue if no one ever responded to such troll lunacy questions like this ?

Skied up at Sugar tonight. It was slushy and I had to dodge some bare spots, but still a good time. I had more fun than last year even though the conditions were worse since it was so much less packed. With the weather they have forecasted for this upcoming week and seeing how on the brink things were there, I’m not sure they’re going to make it to next weekend, though.

And there was a power outage late and we skied down from the summit in the dark. ?

And more memorably, a black bear came onto the blue slope near the summit and was pawing at a fallen snowboarder about 75 feet ahead of me. The dude was freaking out and started screaming for help. Kind of a scary situation, but then a few snowboarders flew by and the bear got spooked and retreated into the words.

Photo of the Black Bear…I was about 75 ft from it and was a bit nervous as it pawed at this guy for a bit of time and I was the closest person next to him lol.

I think I'll live in the whamby thread for the next 3 weeks. Lots of march coldish weather trolling me again. Probably get some pretty clown maps too at some point. Just to start making me think about maybe possibly theres a chance, only to not be cold enough. Sigh, here we go.
 
Its funny that the EPS is showing a beautiful winter pattern, and even has a solid snow mean, but the March thread is slow. If it were 3 weeks ago, it would be a blaze. Lol

Even if it were 2 weeks ago it would be. But lets face it, it's extremely difficult to get a good snowstorm even in the best patterns in March.

i disagree. i think that march definitely reduces your 1-3 inch nickel and dime events (remember those lol) but big dogs are still on the table. the shorter wavelengths and more convection can make things get weird
