So true. Not sure what is worse: Spring-like temps and no snow in the middle of winter, or abundant cold air and a snowstorm that cuts off just a few miles to your south, so close you can smell it. Both are their own form of torture.

Down to 49 here.

It may drop below freezing tonight. Everyone cover your flowers and tender vegetation. Why no freeze warning?

Imagine a winter (or wall to wing) with persistent spring like temps and no snow then we finally get a brief arctic blast and this happens, burying the south with snow with us just out of reach. Only to be followed by a long lasting stretch of above normal temps to close the season. I'd pray for our well being (mine included).

56 degrees with clear skies and good visibility now in Brooklyn.

This storm is dead to us and this post is about analysis.

Here's the closed-off ULL.  Sroc brought this up in that it's disconnected from the N/S due to fast PAC flow.  Can't wrap in the cold air that way around the center.  It's an excellent point. I would say this though if this wasn't cut-off via fast PAC flow this would track to our west as the height rises on its eastern flank would be to our west. ULL's that close off in LA normally will cut because in order for them to close-off they need a steep height rises next to the center as shown. What can do the trick sometimes is 50/50 low aided by strong Atlantic blocking that flattens the heights just enough to allow for a BM track.  Even with cold air aided by a stout H parked in Southern Quebec this would miss our area due to the height field suppression.  I hope this winter gives a good appreciation for just how difficult it is to get a snowstorm. The slightest issues in setup ruin the whole thing and that is regardless of a great 500mb pattern or not.

66 currently IMBY and a bit breezy.  Getting deep into the spring season it seems. 

CPK +4.7 AN so far this month not including today.  After next few days will be +6.5 at least.  Two back to back +10's J/F? If we don't get a push of cooler air next week it's got a legit shot.  We're beyond 72/73 for the most futile winter in recorded history IMO and it's going to take more than a few c-1" car toppers to change that from here on out.

In what can best be described as absolute absurdity, I just came home from work and . . . opened my windows to let in the fresh air. On February 15.

I still have my window open right now. It's getting a little chilly but that earthy spring smell is just wonderful.

Made it up to 68° before clouds rolled in, now down to 61°.`
Set a personal record today. First time I've ever been able to hook up the outside hose and give my 10 yr. old Labrador Retriever a bath in the middle of February, with me in a T-shirt no less. Took full advantage and washed the car too. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

We hit 68 around 1pm, which is my favorite temperature.

We have crocuses blooming and daffodils with flower buds at the ready.

Hi of 68* here too, went out in shorts and a tshirt to run errands. For once I'm thankful, my left foot is in a boot and don't have to worry about getting around in snow.

+7.1 AN in CPK not including today's AN.  It will get cooler next few days which will bring this down.  But if the blocking is an utter failure end of next week then +10 AN is possible as that SER will do its thing.  I'll be surprised for sure, but should I really be?

Nope CPK had high of 70 yesterday and +7.1 includes that. Probably +7.5 after today then it turns "colder".

I too noticed that, doc. Windy! Heavy rain that I thought would come last night but didn’t. 53. Wood stove is on. I have not had the heat on for some three weeks. I sense it will snow in March, at least once. Lots of things popping up. Crocus, daffodil, etc.

Records for Bridgeport CT go back to 1949 and their lowest seasonal snowfall is 8.2" which is the dreaded 72/73 season.  They currently stand at .8" and if this upcoming blocking fails yet again then they won't crack 2".  

Can cite many other examples on the EC.  Normally when records are broken the new value is kinda close but this is another level.

Amazing stats! The only thing I would watch for in March is a monster reversion to the mean with a massive snowstorm.If the current pattern does not break, then maybe next season will be more productive.

Wind howling, partly sunny, temp 42.
