When presented with two extremes the most reasonable stance to take is somewhere in the middle. So it goes like this, and it's been mentioned many times already:<br /><br />-Our period of *consistent* winter is over.<br />-We can still get brief periods of winter-like weather, including snow events.<br />-The warmer pattern is still on, but may fall back *somewhat* for the final week of the month, when average high temperatures are in the mid to upper 40s anyway.<br /><br />There you have it, a nifty compromise for the two competing camps. Based on teleconnections, ensemble means and the Typhoon Rule; evidence instead of blind emotion.<br /><br />Quite gusty outside right now...definitely wasn't expecting that. Also had a dream last night that it was 80 degrees and sunny before the leaves had started growing in. My last gut feeling/premonition was that February would be a gangbusters winter month with a lot of cold and storm activity. Could this be a precursor too? Very unlikely, but it's still fun to dream...Mantis Tobogganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11104491137465766315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5793508672957135735.post-90173619967199880502015-03-08T14:20:30.086-04:002015-03-08T14:20:30.086-04:00There is nothing there look at the 12z gfs and Eur...There is nothing there look at the 12z gfs and Euro runs.Please it is over and stop pretending one last storm will happen because that is what happens in March.Even CCCC sees the writing on the wall.

As many have been saying Spring will be late in coming, and temperatures will warm up VERY slowly. So don't expect the 50's or 60's degree weather til sometime towards the end of April, perhaps as late as May, unless you live in the southern states; but even they are experienced record cold this winter. For those who LOVE the cold and snow -- you got it this year. Hope you have enjoyed it thus far, still more to come.

Mentioned that winter is not gone by a long shot and that it is something to watch for. Perhaps one of the last Winter Storms for the season and it might be a good one. Will need to wait and see. <br /><br />Did notice last night on the news that JN looked a little depressed with the perhaps warm temperatures for this week; so I think he is hoping for a Winter Storm next weekend; otherwise, what will he has to talk about.

It was also the first model to crush our January thaw thought process. It is a long way out and I AM tired of winter; but, I will never wish against a possible snow storm, regardless of how I feel physically. It is just not in me to do so.
