We actually had a small thunderstorm this morning—very unusual for February!
Lasted about 20 minutes and brought 0.19” (5 mm) of rain.
NWS still says 75 mph wind gusts overnight, that would be awesome if it happened.

Snow was forecasted here for February 23-24 but I only got a small flurry on February 22 and SeaTac got zero snow so far. Now NWS and weather.com have very different forecasts.

so is the wind tonight just from that Great Lakes low pressure? or a coastal low as well? Any snow in upstate NY or northern New England from that low? Mt. Washington Observatory mentions a weaker coastal low:
Two low pressure systems will continue to move northeast, with one strengthening up the Maine coast and the stronger of the two passing to the north of New England. Widespread precipitation will continue with a wintry mix likely early tonight before transitioning to purely snow for higher elevations as a trailing cold front traverses the state. Behind this front, temperatures will plummet, reaching just above zero by sunrise and then continuing to fall throughout the forecast period to well below zero. Temperatures may be cold enough to break summit daily record lows on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. The lows will meet in the Canadian Maritimes early tomorrow morning and unite, strengthening as they then continue to move offshore. The pressure gradient between these lows and an incoming strong high pressure will dramatically tighten, boosting winds quickly above the century mark with peak gusts well above that. Winds rose from calm to 70 mph on Mt. Washington in one hour. from the SPC hourly, looks like some flurries in upstate NY www.spc.noaa.gov/sfctest/new/ |

It's been a chilly month in Vancouver but not much snow to show for it. Normally we average a lot more snow than Victoria or Seattle but they're owning us for snowfall this month. Victoria has almost 70cm, Seattle has over 50cm. Vancouver? Just about 30cm. Looks like multiple snowstorms will hit Oregon this week. Portland looks to get 30-40cm in a few days...even they could surpass Vancouver soon. Meanwhile, it looks dry for Vancouver for the next 10 days. It seems like if it is too wet, we get screwed. I prefer the drier conditions, which always means colder temperatures and sunshine this time of year. Any precipitation that falls is likely to be snow or freezing rain. I'll take freezing rain over cold 1C rain anyday, despite it being a pain in the ass. This coming Wednesday night/Thursday may produce some decent snowfall for us. Btw, please join the BC forum if you haven't already (the other one went bye bye): forums.bcstorms.ca/index.php |

It's great to finally have a full sunny day. The next 3 days should be mostly clear, with Wednesday forecast to reach 60ºF.

Other people have already mentioned it elsewhere but our unprecedented February heatwave over here continues, Trawsgoed in Wales reached 20.6C, making it the first time anywhere in the UK has ever reached 20C in winter. Northolt in London reached 20.4C, so a first winter 20C for England too. Those records might only last one day though! Edit: Here's Trawsgoed's hourly temps. It's more or less unheard of for anywhere in the UK to get that much of a diurnal range at this time of year without a front involved, but it's got a mountain to the east of it so can get foehn effects - it also holds the national record high for November, 22C or thereabouts IIRC.  |

Question for anybody who knows: where's the northernmost place ever to have got 20C in winter? I don't know of anywhere in northern Europe that could beat Trawsgoed's 52.3N but I'm guessing there must be somewhere in Canada by the Rockies?

Bella Coola on the Pacific Coast of BC at 52.3°N reached 19°C. Likely a foehn effect from mountains to the north. Must be somewhere inland and more north that's reached 20°C. Problem with further inland is most of BC is elevated; Bella Coola is at sea level. So maybe there isn't everywhere that's reached 20°C further north? |

It turns out Bala, further north in Wales at 52.9N reached 20.0C today, so that's the northernmost I know of. I looked up Calgary, that's had 22.6C in February but that's too far south, only 51N. Edmonton is at 53.3N but the record February high there is only 16.7C, so maybe today in Bala is the furthest north that 20C has ever been recorded in winter? |

Colder than normal temps look pretty likely for most of the continental U.S. next week.  Recent GFS runs have been fairly consistent in showing some frozen precip for Louisiana the first half of next week. Here's the latest run. Not really counting on getting anything, as nothing has materialized here all winter other than a few ice pellets.  |

Saw the first willow catkins today! Unlike smhi I won't declare spring yet, March can bring anything.

Saw the first willow catkins today! Unlike smhi I won't declare spring yet, March can bring anything. While willow catkins usually arrive around spring here, their catkins can show during winter too. In fact, I even found catkins in December here, and they started showing up a couple weeks ago as well. Yesterday I found furry catkins on aspen trees, akin to those you'd find on willows. I had no idea aspen had catkin buds. Never seen that before. |

Incidentally I was actually one of the first people to join the new forum.  Hopefully we get a decent snowfall tonight. gfs and euro look good for about 3-8cm. |
