Tom 16887 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Well, here we are, only a few days away from met Spring and for some of you it has already felt like Spring has arrived early this year. What will this month entail? Is Severe Wx going to come out of the gates hot this year??? Is there a durable Spring tease on the horizon??? I'm sure I speak for many on here and most would like an early Spring this year compared to previous years. Given the nature of our pattern this season, I'm almost certain there will be plenty of severe wx chances this month but how far north is the question. Let's dive in... Last night's 00z EPS suggesting a large scale warm spell starting around the 7th or so while the 00z GEFS are suggesting the cold will try and press. There is a storm system brewing to open up the first week of the month and could be the first one to produce some possible severe wx across the S MW/OHV. Them models are showing a very wet signal and may be a tell-tale sign of where this year's Spring pattern is heading. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IowaWX82 5 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Welcome to March, boys! Welcome to meteorological SPRING! So much for that epic winter, huh? LOL! Really was backloaded and, man, what the cherry-picked models were showing for two weeks out really was accurate. I don’t see these feet of snowing melting until MAY! Just a really embarrassing winter for forecasters — pro and amateur — most of whom have MAJOR cold biases but will never admit it. My grandpa’s metal hip did a better job forecasting than the much-too-relied-upon models. Think spring! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now, aren't you glad you aren't chiseling out of your home? _________________ https://www.wthr.com/article/houses-frozen-over-near-lake-erie-new-york-due-cold-temps HAMBURG, N.Y. (WGRZ) — Cold temperatures, gale-force winds, and 18-foot waves from Lake Erie created an ice spectacle at Hoover Beach in Hamburg. Homeowners on South shore Drive woke to the ice completely covering their doors and windows. In some cases, their homes were dark because of how thick the ice was. Ed Mis, resident and homeowner in Hoover Beach, says he's never seen conditions this bad before. The front of his home is completely covered in ice that is likely one to three feet thick. "I actually had to go out a secondary door and then chisel my way back into the house by breaking the ice," he told 2 On Your Side's Karys Belger.
