More record will fall into the middle of the week as the super trough in the west comes east and pumps up the ridge. A pattern change will begin late... Joseph D'Aleo

Winter 2012 is over. Time to move onto the Spring 2012 thread. Instead of focusing on Winter 2012/13, we should focus on Spring 2012 and Summer 2012.

I've heard some pretty 'interesting' predictions from JB, but this one has no support that I can see...

Regarding the last chart: Yes, I'm in that dark red portion of Southern California - this has been our driest rainy season since 2006-07 and currently Downtown L.A.'s sixth driest rain season since records began in 1877. Only 5.98" inches of rain has fallen since July 1st, 2011 (when the rain season measurements begin and end on June 30th of the following year) when on average, over 13" inches of rain should have fallen here by this point in the season (which is coming to an end) - putting us 7.07" inches below normal, or 46% of normal to date.

So while much of the eastern U.S. has experienced a very mild, snowless winter; we in much of California have experienced a very dry one. Coincidentally, back in 2001-02 when you guys had a record warm winter, we in SoCal had a record dry rainy season with only 4.42" inches of rain recorded in Downtown L.A., only to be beaten just five years later in 2006-07, when a meager 3.21" inches was recorded. That's just one inch above Death Valley's annual average rainfall.

Some places in Western U.S meeting and exceeding snow normals for the year.

I don't know about that jd, wow am I really seeing blocking setting up into the first two weeks of April and colder air filtering down across the country. Strong high pressures look to be setting up around Greenland and Alaska and deeper trough look to be forming into a more non progressive flow. Lol I think we're finally getting our big "pattern change" in April says the GFS. Just odd, but I've had snow in south jersey on my birthday before which is April 16.

A winter-like pattern is lingering in the NE, but I would assume that can be discussed in the NE threads; the winter pattern has ended long ago for the US (as in persistent cold/snow). The pattern is different than what it was before, but it's still not a complete reversal of the winter pattern; there's no strong blocking near Greenland/Alaska, the western US pattern is not very favorable for eastern cold, and the block that is setting up is not too strong and is in a location that favors New England, not the Mid Atlantic, for the best cold/snow chances. Even so, it's still not sustained as it's going to weaken on occasion. It's certainly a pattern change, but it's not as if winter is completely restarting in the region.

Snow today for NH above Concord, didn't get above 32 at waterville valley. All the summits were with new snow so winter is still on in NNE

What a strange snowfall season in that we received more snow in the autumn/spring than we did in the winter. If it wasn't for a strong start in October and then a strong finish in March... this could have easily been our most snowless season ever. However, thanks to October, November and March we managed 58.5 inches which is 11.5 inches higher than the dreaded 2009-2010 season of 47 inches, but still 22.5 inches below our seasonal average.
