There were trees with pink and white blooms here in mid January. Temps down to 26F on Feb 7 caused many blooms to wilt away and drop.
Ugh yea that's about where we are. We had a big cold snap Jan 20-22 so we didn't really see any development until February fortunately. It looked like we could avoid major cold snaps but it's certainly gonna get cold late next week. I can only March doesn't feature any major snaps. Even just a slightly below avg month with a few light frosts/freezes would be ok.
CFSv2 is showing that right now. Other models are not. And these guys did a great job forecasting the winter pattern. Here is what they have to say for March
Wasn't just referring to that map though - SLC has been consistently torched during the 2010s, even as other parts of the continent remained cold. During the six years of 2014 to 2019, there were 64 above-average months and 8 below-average months.
February, March (twice), June (twice), July, October, and November (twice) all set records for warmest month on record during that six-year period.
SLC's top six warmest years are 2012, 2016, 2015, 2018, 2017, and 2014, in that order. #7 is 1934, by the way. Just to give some perspective.
Are these models just going to predict a cold west and warm east for the next bajillion years? It seems that's all they've been doing for the last 3 months

has the cold west verified though? Or has it been closer to normal? We've been way above average for the last 3 months. Dec and Jan both +6.3F and Feb to day +3.4F.
It was almost 50 here in Western New York yesterday. Washed my car and even saw a few people walking around in shorts. But I'm not getting my hopes up on an early Spring. They are calling for 20's/30's with rain/snow for the next week then might get back to the 40's. But it has been a very mild winter here in Rochester, even though we are still topping the country in snowfall for cities over 100k.
Here's my wish-cast: After the cold this weekend, that's the end of Winter and it'll be 70/50F every day and I get my pool back mid-March
In all seriousness that's what the models I have access to (TropicalTidbits) seem to think and that sounds good to me.
