Very positive AO and NAO

Not good for a storm

March 1967 did not have a neg ao and we got 9" on the 22nd...its probably over but stranger things could happen...

Wasn't the AO positive for the recent blizzard?

Maybe. No point in even thinking about it. Pretty much 100% of forecasts were awful for the east. Im pretty much done taking any long range forecast even semi serious. The groundhog is just as accurate

There were fails this year even in the not-so-long range.

No one predicted a cold and snowy winter for the NYC area.

@THE GREAT Ben Solo and I did. I think DT did too.

As dry as it was out West, 1976-77 and 1980-81 was even worse. The snow deficits are going to be made up though over the next few days. I’m not saying it will get back to normal but it’s definitely going to bring it up to a more respectable level, which is common. March April, and even May can be snowy out there.

As for us, it still remains to be seen what the rest of March does, but it is remarkable that New York City has seen less than 1 inch I believe for March since March 2020, we definitely are in the most snowless March stretch that we’ve seen. We still have April to go through as well.

What made the blizzard of April 6, 1982 so impressive is the fact that February of March had very little snowfall and when spring came and watched 1982 there was no way that you would believe that we were going to get any type of snow let alone a blizzard. I am still shocked at what I saw that day. I was 15 years old, but yet I can remember every single detail of that storm like it just happened.

Longer range models were fairly average to warm after a brief cold intrusion next week. Problem is the AO and NAO are positive so nothing to lock in the cold, just comes and goes

We won the "one global cool anomaly" lottery ticket.

Last time that happened was the 2014-2015 winter

Only other place that was cooler than normal was a pocket in northern NA and a pocket northern Europe.

Otherwise it was an other typical global torch
