Looks like Nor'easter #4 might be in store for March.

Frankly, I'm beyond over this.

1. warmer artic implies larger sinuations in the Jet Stream

which, if positioned exactly, can cause Nor'easters. Better get used to this.

2. I read Jeff Master's article on this a few years back.

I'm a believer.

3. I am in CA but grew up in PA and spoke with a childhood friend last night.

She told me that this "Spring" is crazy. The snow seems to have hit her as a surprise in two out of the last three storms to hit the region. She didn't even have chains on her tires. Only once did she lose power. I told her that in CA we are having another drought year after twice the normal rain last year. Climate Change is all about extremes.

I guess Punxsutawney Phil was right again.

4. Spring has been wack the last three years.

We keep getting this crazy warm February, followed by what I call Marchuary. Last year it was cooler than normal right into July. It was a miserable spring for gardens.

Of the three nor'easters, I got power knocked out twice, lost 2 white oak branches, took damage to my fence, and got 29 inches of snow, with 20" in the last one alone.

5. Which area do you live in?

My friend is from northwest of Phila and said her sister's house just a mile away but at a higher elevation had twice as much snow and it was very heavy. I remember shoveling snow off the roof of our vacation house in the Poconos and our water pipes would freeze every winter even though they were buried 3' down.

6. Eastern Connecticut, just SW of Norwich.

This terrain in this area is called the Eastern New England Uplands, and consists of rolling low wooded hills. I live near the top of one of the highest hills in the county, so I get more snow (and wind).
