Spring 2015 thread (Northern Hemisphere) (ice, temperature, days, USA)

[Jakobsli]

I would like a repeat of April 2011 and a repeat of May 2013 - reached 30°C in both Mid- and Northern Norway.
As for March, I don't want it too warm, as I like snow in the hills and mountains to stay good for skiing. Not as cold as March 2013 though... and a lot of recent March months have been on the cloudy and wet side - March 2012 with 25 precip days!
I would need to go back to March 2009 to find an acceptable March.

I want a repeat of March 2013, April 2005, and May 2013. All of the record coolest spring months.

A repeat of March 2012 would be nice here in the northeastern US. 13 days with highs over 70F and early tree blossoms

March 2012 was the G.O.A.T., I'd love a repeat of 2012 in general.

US Spring Outlook: Milder Air to Fuel Uptick in Severe Storms From Past Three Years


I like my Springs to be warm, and since it's been 3 years since we had one, I'm hoping for a warmer than average Spring this year

CFSv2 says normal. Which means it will be warmer than normal.

Odd that they'd mention this in the article:

In the Midwest and Northeastern states, chilly shots will linger into March. The cool air will be punctuated by milder days, but overall, the eastern half of the nation will have to wait until May for prolonged warmth.
To make matters worse for warm weather lovers, the opportunity exists for a late-season snowstorm around March.

I think maybe a later start to Spring (after March) but possibly much warmer than normal the second half?


Using soil moisture as a guide, if spring rains don't arrive here in the next 3 months, it's going to be a hot dry summer.
