The Final Stretch of Winter
Weather with Noreaster Nick
We are entering late February and looking back at the Winter season, it hasn’t been terrible. We’ve had wild temperatures swings from time to time and about 15″ of snow for the season to this point but I’d actually call this a “normal” Winter. More snow out there today. Some could pick up a few inches away from the coast, if you’re in Cape May county it will be a mainly rain event. Temperatures will warm up over the next few days, well above average going into the weekend.
Looking long range? Very interesting what’s going on around Australia. Thunderstorm activity has effectively stopped, pressures are rising to the north and the Southern Oscillation Index is tanking. That SHOULD translate to cold and snow for us down the pipeline but so far this Winter everything has been delayed. I originally thought February would be the worst month, it’s turning out to be rather bland. I continue to stand by the idea that we will see more snow as we head into March. Looking at how everything is lining up around the world combined with my “gut” feeling? We shall see! We will judge this season by March 20th. Still a month to go!
