Misc Winter Whamby 2020, a New Decade

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.
 
That actually falling?

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.
 
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?

No arctic blocking...we rely on the pacific and PV to visit for cold and even with that we deal with the Atlantic ridge.
 
I feel like we’re next up, Kylo. Could be next year or it could be winter 2030..I just don’t know

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.
 
We're really tracking flurries in the main thread...not even our flurries, someone else's! Sad.
Not even someone else's. We're tracking the chance that flurries may fall withing 50 MILES of someone else. THAT is the depth to which we have sunk this winter. I don't know if it gets sadder than that.

Hey - look at the upside ... we all have a brand new pretty playground to romp in!
 
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.
