Hmmm, could be interesting. Except for a certain private sector meteorologist who likes to ride his bike!

A quite worthless weekend cycling-wise. No biking last weekend either. Fortunately DST will allow for some mid-week rides this week. Long range models indicate no summer this year, which appears to be a mixed blessing according to my avatar...

The year of bi-polar. The year of competing forecasts. The year of Wicked VS. Evil ( Once Upon A Time). The year of NCCU ( my alma mater making the big dance for the first time EVER). Will this be the year without a Summer. Will Wxman 57 get a 100 degree day this year? Will Porta get to take Champ The Charger out for a snow chase? This is much more will be decided in the upcoming months on the PWC Channel, your channel for news, weather and stuff....

Temps didn't get nearly as cold as expected, only 37 here and at DFW. I was hoping we'd get freeze #56 and have a chance at cracking the top 5.

Same drum that Ntxw has been beating.
@BigJoeBastardi: ECWMF MJO into phase 2/3 for first time in cold season message is lookout for last 10 days of March.

And in line with Wxman 57's mention (yesterday, I believe) of no real summer weather for a while, Joe B just tweeted this:
@BigJoeBastardi: With each passing day, my concern about growing season around Great Lakes and a year without a summer for Ontario, perhaps great lakes grows.

Yeah, the other day he (JB) was talking about his beloved Brazilian meteograms (which extend months ahead) and how they were showing snow for Ontario into June. Have no idea how accurate those tools are, but to see something like that would be pretty amazing.
Friends and family in the Great Lakes area have been telling me for awhile now that this winter has been one of the worst they've seen in decades.

While this is far from Texas, if these ideas bear any fruit, perhaps we will have some unusual cold fronts visit Texas even into the beginning of summertime:
@BigJoeBastardi: Models used as tools to confirm or question ideas... In this case, and looking at JMA over next 3 months, things are not good near Grt Lakes.
@BigJoeBastardi: Worried about shortest growing season in 50 yrs around lakes.Braz.meteograms have snow:Toronto,Ottawa Montreal in Jun.
@BigJoeBastardi: These are never correct right on spot, but have given valuable hints to nature of overall pattern. Winter in Chicago/Toronto
examples.

Porta, friend of mine in Michigan says he still has 2 1/2 feet of ice on his local lake.
If this is indeed a pattern that may continue, I would anticipate some untimely cold air intrusions into Texas in April and May, much like a year ago.
Could threaten the peach crop if there are some late frosts?

Ntxw, if El Niño returns this summer as you have been forecasting, unseasonable summertime fronts - should they occur - might enhance summer rainfall amounts in Texas?

I haven't done my favorite and least favorite moments of the 2013-14 winter yet. So here goes:
Favorite (tie):
* Early December sleet storm and cold that kept ice on the ground and roadways around Denison for more than a week. The kids here missed FIVE schooldays in a row (and there were the non schoolday weekend days thrown into the middle of that mix too, so they would have missed SEVEN straight days). We had 2-3 inches out of this. I've seen two or three as big up here along the Red River, but NEVER one that lasted so long.
* The early March Storm with its thunder sleet and intense cold air mass.
* The total numbers of freezes, including another one this morning
* Seeing Wxman57 finally succumb to the inner Cold Miser side that we all knew/hoped he had.
Least Favorite (tie):
* Seeing our hero, Portastorm, be disappointed again in Austin.
* No real snow event across most of Texas (Toledo Bend area being an exception).
* Dallas not being able to really challenge its all time number of freezes.
