I'm thinking of putting the plows and salt boxes away for the season, and letting the crews go back to day shift instead of being on mandatory 3rd shift for winter season.  We typically don't come off winter shift until at least mid March, but thinking we can come out now.  That should surely help us get some snow, right?????

You can safely do it. Winter is over, if it even ever really started.

^Are you a near miss with the snow today?

 

Yes, supposed to be all rain here, snow about 30 miles north or west of me. 50 and sunny next week.

“Any direct significant impacts on the weather are typically delayed following the warming by a week or two as the signal propagates into the lower stratosphere, so we’d be looking at early March,” Lee said.

It will probably be at least another week or so before any potential impacts at the mid-latitudes can be ironed out.

“Usually we can make the first more reliable predictions only starting around the time when the sudden stratospheric warming happens,” Domeisen said. “For North America, these predictions are even more difficult than for Europe.”

It’s almost to the point you can’t make it up at all see this two weeks from now it’s spring by Saint Patrick’s day

 If SSW pans out will just be a continuation of current weather. Well above January-February = Below average to well below average late March-April = cold rain

Dr Cohen seems to think cold is incoming from it…

 

Cohen is always saying things like this, but it's important to remember that the whole continent is rarely cold at the same time ... This SSW could still be a cold west pattern that bleeds east from time to time
