Nothing like a typical cool / cold pattern in April.So I’ve been thinking after looking at this run. Extreme blockiness was the theme for late September/October last year and it’s been the theme since February and now the models are trending towards it again. Probably would have been the theme in January as well if not for the record strong PV. Wonder if with the deep solar minimum this might be the regime for the next couple years. If so, this could finally be the regime that gives us another 36-37, 48-49, 49-50, or 68-69. Just a thought I had. Doesn’t mean I’m right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Just for the record... the worst situation in Italy was in the northern part of the country and New Orleans and Florida experienced a massive surge of people from elsewhere in the country recently. This will likely wane as it gets warmer and start up more in the southern hemisphere as they move into winter. And either way... we know that viruses like the flu are seasonal and disappear when it turns warmer so that would be good. Continuing winter-like weather through spring is not ideal right now... but what people want is irrelevant anyways. I don't want to get into the warm weather debate and how this virus is/will behave because I rather listen to health professionals than anyone else. Simply put, we don't even know how covid-19 is behaving so I'm not going to label it a "flu." The only thing that matter to me is finding treatment and cure for this thing before summer, even if warmer weather slows the spread of the virus and WHO/CDC still can't find the cure for this thing, it will make its appearance again in the fall/winter as there may be asymptomatic carriers throughout the year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be some huge potential over the next couple of winters.Yeah I’m thinking something real big could be coming in the next couple winters. As much as I don’t like using this word the PNW is very due for a regional blast. Also, one thing you said in your first post that I didn’t put emphasis on is that this isn’t like a typical April cold pattern. I was also thinking about exactly that. When you think of recent cold springs you think 2008 or 2011, but this upcoming pattern isn’t like those years at all. It’s more like the early 1950s or mid 1930s.
