It was a very dry meteorological winter (Dec-Jan-Feb). Some of our long-term climate stations cracked the top-ten of their driest winter seasons (Dec 1st-Feb 28/29th). Station Total Precip Rank Period of (inches) (Driest) Record (since) ------------ ------------ -------- -------------- Altoona 4.15 5th 1948 Bradford 4.25 2nd 1957 Harrisburg 6.05 17th 1888 Johnstown 4.93 3rd 1892 Williamsport 5.24 15th 1895 State College 4.52 8th 1893

Should the AO stay positive, it will probably be a one-week or so window of opportunity. If, however, blocking develops, then the probability of a multi-week cold period would increase. Hopefully, we can get a decent storm during the window of opportunity.

Huge aggregates. You can see it on dualpol. Never noticed this specific one: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=BOX-HHC-1-24-100-usa-rad

No ice anywhere for me when I left the hose at 8:30 this am. I did hear sleet around 6 am falling.

All the schools up here are closed today. I really enjoyed this winter with the solid snow cover from December to March. First half was great with all the clippers and then the big snow in January. I really wish we had another big snow on top of that one just for the experience. I got about 10” from the blizzard which obviously was nothing compared to Westchester and the coast. I’m going to miss the snow and wouldn’t mind winter to continue until April. To me today is a nice cold and snowy day with snow on the trees and shrubs. Very picturesque. .

Just got home as it turned to sleet…haven’t stuck a ruler in but looks around 3”

28.7/26, PLZR getting icy out there

Sounds like a thrilling battle

We ice. 30.1/27.3 with a glaze outside.

it was the same guy that measures today, he's a time traveler... I made a complaint about this to NOAA today on twitter!

4" and moderate snow. 25

New Brunswick recorded 36" in Mar-1888 - still have no idea how NYC only measured 21" with those historic pix showing what looked like way more.

PLZR. 31. Messy.

Hmmm - well - looking at their locations https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/crn/ - that's not really what I'm talking about. It looks like just about all of those sites are actually suburban sites, or at least "close to city" rural sites. For example the one in central NC is in Duke Forest - but that's practically surrounded by Durham, which is a fast-growing urban area. The one in southern LA is at Cade Farm which is rural-ish, but is only 3 miles from the edge of Lafayette. Etc. What I'm talking about would be truly rural sites - ones where there isn't a significant city within about 50-100 miles or so. I see very few if any sites of those that fit that bill.

All the roll-forward stuff from the Winter was suggesting March would be near normal to below in the eastern 1/3 of the US.. seems to be beating the Euro weeklies in the long range

Greenfield already has. Probably pushing 5 inches now.

4 and still pounding!

We are currently tied with the blizzard… 0 flakes.

Happy to report it’s raining dendrites up in BOS

I’ve already doubled it

26.3° -SN 1.0”

Couple more hours like this and we might exceed the Flizzard.

1.7" so far. Back to mdt-hvy after briefly slacking off.

Did not expect these heavy rates (admittedly didn't really pay attention to guidance on this event)... roads are almost completely white with cars crawling near Fenway, briefly has the look of a moderate snowstorm

Some are Model Huggers
