So do we now refer to you as rainbow children and constantly ask “What does it mean?”
I got lots of ideas folks. Lots of ideas.
Most people don't believe spring and summer patterns have anything to do with the following winter. And it may not. It just seems really strange we always are cold mid March through mid May. Then bake from the end of May through the 1st half of October. Then like clockwork are cold from mid Oct til mid December only to flip warm and ruin winter. Wash, rinse and repeat every single year.
Maybe some will be right and we'll be cold February into mid March. I'd be curious to see if we could break the streak of spring like February temps lately, actually have an above average April and May, if we'd have a cooler summer? Would love to see warmth mid October to mid December and see if we could flip cold January and February.
No science behind this at all, just observations made thru the years. Seems like we need to get out of the cold springs and hot first halves of fall.

Please get rid of the Met tag in your avatar. You will confuse the new posters. Oh wait, .... on second thought, they will be able to easily tell after reading your previous posts.

The GFS for the system on the 29th looks more thunderstormy than anything else. Looks like a Bruce tapping
Just once in my life

Letting the days go by, let the snow hold me down. Letting the days go by, snow flowing on the ground. Into the blue again after the the SER is gone. Once in a lifetime, snow is flowing on the ground (Talking Heads modified, snow instead of water)Just once in my life

I had no idea
I wasn't at home at the time, but downtown where there were no radar returns, so I can't really say. As many times as I've had light snow with nothing on radar it wouldn't surprise me if there was something. However, nobody has confirmed anything anywhere so who knows.
Well we’re sittin down there pretty for next winter?
Man that's ugly. Alaska warm and the SER has still dominated the east. What gives here? Those two usually don't teleconnect I didn't think?

We're really tracking flurries in the main thread...not even our flurries, someone else's! Sad.

My mud was frozen this morning so I guess that was cool.

I feel like we’re next up, Kylo. Could be next year or it could be winter 2030..I just don’t know
No arctic blocking...we rely on the pacific and PV to visit for cold and even with that we deal with the Atlantic ridge.
Same.. I had mud heaves in shaded spots that have been there for over 24 hours..big win..I’ll orobably never forget this
I would take the latter. This is our 5th AN winter in a row. Fortunately transient cold shots is enough for us to see snow. Call me a sucker but I still think we see a 7-10 day period with a chance or two sometime before early March.
My thoughts exactly. High latitude blocking has been hard to come by

Hey - look at the upside ... we all have a brand new pretty playground to romp in!
Hamilton Co snow hole in full effect.
Fixed it for you
If a front like what happened Jan, 1985, happened in today's environment, would we see such massive below zero temps reaching so far south in 2020? I know, it's a borderline climate change post, but curious about opinions from people.
yeah but look carefully at the map, there is one single little county not in gray for Tn. That's Nooga, my friend.
Have I missed anything?
I actually watched it live, that was insane and chaotic.... talk about losing your cool. Will be interesting to see what happens to several players

Don't worry, we'll all end up verifying with zero with you.
