Give it a week--and the Pattern will start changing

Look, I love winter weather but even I am getting tired of this. I am ready to move on and get over this winter that dosent seem to want to go away. Heavy Rain fell yesterday but as I mentioned a few days ago, the worst of the noreaster was going to spare the DC area and it did. Dosent it always?. Had the track been more to the south and east as the models were suggesting 5-6 days ago, this could of been truly a historic event as the UL would of closed off sooner and more south. The story of this big noreaster was not snow but historic rain totals and damaging wind.

So...whats next?

Its going to take a while for the system to totally leave us as its going to stall and spin its self out. The storm will continue to give us occasional showers and big wind gusts. It will also keep clouds around till midweek.

However, the atmosphere is changing and all the cold air in Canada is being routed out so by this time next week, we could start seeing the beginning of a major pattern change into a warmer-more April like regime.Its just a matter of time
