Spring 2015 thread (Northern Hemisphere) (freeze, Mississippi, climate, snow)

I don't know how this March will rank in terms of snow totals at Islip, but I'm pretty sure that after tomorrow it'll easily be in the top 3.

BTW, stop talking about July 2013! I'm gonna have nightmares It was an impressive month though. Despite hating that sort of weather, even I was amazed by the resiliency of that extreme humidity.

It was a humid summer

Example




My suburb's data for July 2011. We touched 100F three days in a row, each of those days also reached 81 degree dew points

Avg max: 90.5F
Avg low: 67.2F

Avg max dew point: 72.9F
Avg dew point 68.4F

GFS has backed away from the early April warm up. lol Typical flip flop this far out but a trend is your friend until it breaks up with you... Quick pop next Thursday. Another drop this Sunday.

At least it was followed by a much more tolerable August 2013.

So the Vortex dives towards New England this weekend, (amazing position this time of year)... then GFS says Georgia & TN mountains will be below freezing next week (850T).

Sharp cold front comes through Northeast. Temps aloft in single digits again. Visualize the pink colors moving east, that's when you'll feel the surface temps start dropping and feeling like winter again.

Just in case you didn't think Coos County, NH had a cold climate, here are lows there this morning on March 20th.

Whitefield, NH -10F
Berlin, NH -9F

On March 19th Mt. Washington (also in Coos County) chilled down to -17F with a wind chill of -63F.

Until someone drops an atomic bomb on that warm ocean water in the NE Pacific, that ridge will stay. Welcome back to the coldest decade in a hundred years. Time to break out the 1980's music lol.

Here is what the 1980's looked like for us. Wasn't at all completely dominated by cold months. In fact, the hottest summer on record for Chicago is 1988. Also, 1983 was pretty hot too

WOW!! What a change of tune from you recently. I remember you used to have such warm bias posts in the past. LOL! Last 2 winters and no summer really got you turned upside down huh. lol

I think we're both old enough to know that we can flip to above normal and stay there for months on end just as easy, so don't make assumptions about this pattern lasting ........ or maybe it will, and in the near future we can officially claim the abrupt cooling as an Ice Age in the North East? LOL

All joking aside, it doesn't take much for the SE Ridge to pop up. Just gotta get that polar Vortex to go back north and stay there.
