snow_wizard Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 65/53 at BFI today. January is the new May. Or we could even call it June-uary. The million dollar questions is will all of these warm Januaries be made up for. Up until a few years ago I thought it was nearly certain we would. Now I'm not as sure, but I still think it's likely. We are certainly due for a bunch of cold ones. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Yes it will be made up for in March through July. The time of the year when the rest of the country normally gets nice warm weather, and we are stuck with cold drizzle and heavy mountain snow.

HighlandExperience Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I noticed the media is really starting to hype up this big east coast storm. Rhode Island has some big blizzard warnings. ACCUMULATIONS...SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 18 TO 24 INCHES. A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR CONSIDERABLEFALLING AND/OR BLOWING SNOW WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OR FREQUENTGUSTS OVER 35 MPH AND VISIBILITIES BELOW 1/4 MILE FOR AT LEAST3 HOURS. WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE...MAKING TRAVELVERY DANGEROUS. BE PREPARED TO ALTER ANY TRAVEL PLANS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard mann Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think what we are getting now says we will in the not too distant future (not talking about this year though). Things always even out. Always. When you look at what came after the late 30s / early 40s mega torch you get the idea. That having been said it's going to be painful getting through the rest of this warm regime. So what's the good news. ? .. If there in fact is any, per your view.

richard mann Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I actually think a full blown Arctic blast is as likely as us getting into some other kind of [more] satisfying pattern. The highest chance is that we stay in an overwhelming warm regime at least well into spring. A little more uplifting, your "thinking" is certainly fairly diverse.

snow_wizard Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 A little more uplifting, your "thinking" is certainly fairly diverse. I was making the point that a significantly better pattern isn't too likely in the near future, but if we do have one an Arctic outbreak isn't much less likely than a prolonged cool zonal flow or something like that.
