Looks like it's been snowing all day from NW Mass up into Western Vermont.

So here's a question. Given that "the planet" is generally a self-contained system with very little (essentially no) variance in externalities with regards to energy inputs (mainly solar irradiance - generally near-constant) and output (terrestrial radiation - generally near-constant) - shouldn't the warming of the planet just be essentially a straight (or curved) line with an always-upwards slope, such that a new record should be set *every* year? Or is it the case that it's really just these records are just really just referring to "the places we are measuring" and not "the planet" as a whole? Yes - question is somewhat rhetorical, but is intended to trigger some thought. If one presumes that the planet as a whole is warming continually, then what are the "holes" in the data? Are there significant areas of the ocean for instance that we're just not measuring, and the reason we don't see a new record every year is because of the non-existent data that would offset the data we do have? Or perhaps is it the case that we are in fact measuring the whole "surface" (including the oceans), but the surface temperature as a whole actually does go up and down based on something - e.g. subterranean effects e.g. "bubbles" in mantle convection, or perhaps solar cycles?

Back to -SN An additional 3/4” or so. We’ll call it 0.7”

I'd take March 2018 over this any day.

Agree. I can recall several advisory to warning-level snows between late February and mid-March, it's really not all that rare of a thing relatively speaking. I know there are those who tend to thumb their nose at later season snow events but we've had a decent number. And in not the greatest setups, too.

There’s CAA, but a weak inv trough is swinging through N to S too

AIGFS locked in on south hasn’t wavered in days.

Wow! Heavy heavy

I do too. I do Truckee and Tahoe as well. Sometimes, if they're getting hammered, I watch Leavenworth, Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass in Washington.

4.0” total as of a few hours ago.

CAA from the NW?

He should move to Cut Bank, Montana. Then, once in a while.......

Just about to hit here. What’s causing this?

Chiming in to add to those who had some snizzle/flakes/flurries today. Was sitting at a traffic light during an afternoon errand run and noticed some flakes on the windshield. Should have taken a picture of it, but I even saw a truck owner with mounds of snow left on his bed cover in the Giant parking lot off Winding Hill. I mean, how lazy do you have to be to still have mounds of snow on your vehicle 2.5 weeks after the storm? I even said out loud as I walked by it “what a lazy F***” Seems like the Canadian model is the only one still holding on for all snow for our area. Will be interesting to see what happens as we get closer. Point and click has temps in the high 30s and lows 40s all through the ten day. Hoping its wrong, but its early enough, we can still score.

Looks like some sort of squally line moving north to south. Clouds are dark and everything.

Pounding +SHSN

Upton AFD says high amount of uncertainty for next potential storm AFD from KOKX

Temu Geo Wash said it’s gonna be rain. He has spoken. He knows. Rain it shall be.

Some flurries on the walk to the train in Harrisburg. What a gray day.

@stormtracker@WxUSAF can we get this pinned please. You can help bring this home.

Supposedly I average 50 inches a year Didn't hit that in 19-20 with the big early season storm and didn't hit that in the 17-18 winter even with the March and April that everyone goes bananas over but it really was lousy here in death valley I have not been over 50 inches since 2014-2015. I think the last season around 50 inches was ,2016-2017 primarily due to two good size events....one in February and one in March.

I agree. I think it's a statistical artifact, but can't rule out other factors being involved e.g., an increase in baroclinicity in early April that allows for occasional big storms even as the weather is warming. Interestingly enough, one finds a similar dearth of 6" or above daily snowfalls during March 23-31 in Newark where records go back even farther to 1843.

I know you can bring this home Nachos, let's all eat like kings.

Let's gooooooooooo I'm not out.... yet 18z icon is a rain miss South

31° with a steady -SN Reaccumulating on the vehicles
