Wild game. 7-3. And US beating Mexico 5-2 in the 7th!

Supposed to be 83 tomorrow here, a record high.

It’s already been like summer for many in the SE on many days this month. Many are headed for one of the warmest Marches on record. I have enough summer as it is. I’d prefer March be more like a spring month. Thus, I’m looking forward to the cooldown and am hoping April overall comes in less warm than March.

Yeah they were 5” a few hours ago

Contributing to the problem of models looking colder further out in time is that WxBell Euro 2m Euro Weeklies maps are too cold, something I’ve emphasized in many posts. I know that @donsutherland1and Anthony are, among others, fully aware of this issue. How do I know they’re too cold? I’ve on many occasions compared the WB maps to the in-house ecmwf maps, especially in later weeks as the WB cold errors grow. The WB maps are essentially always colder and often by a significant amount in later weeks. Has anyone ever wondered why the NE US and much of W US are just about always below normal on WB during later weeks of the Weeklies? So, as the periods get closer, the WB maps more often than not warm up as the magnitude of the cold errors reduces.

Flagstaff has four such months: June (2024), July (2023), August (2020), and October (2024). Record Warm Months have been common in the Southwest since 2020: 8, Salt Lake City and Tucson 7, Phoenix 6, Las Vegas 5, Albuquerque, Palm Springs and Reno 4, Flagstaff 2, Denver Flagstaff's record warmest months with records set in 2020 or later are June, July, August, and October.

hrrr finally got on board with the earlier/afternoon CI that other cams have had. probably targeting bloomington initially? maybe a bit north (like pontiac) as that seems to be the trend

Went in the woods once today and that was enough. Acl tear waiting to happen. Groomers were fantastic though. .

Being an airport I’m not even sure how that isn’t gone with it being open.

KPVD was down to 11" Friday...must be down to like 4-5" now....39" cancel.

Guessing your folks have around what I do.

HRRRRR has a nice monster sup rolling east near Kankakee late afternoon.

Thinking the same here. Hope all is well @Roger Smith

In this region, we have a 10 to 1 ratio. 10" of snowmap snow = 1" of real snow

I missed out on the Friday storms in Frederick (was in DC/Harbor), so I'm all in.

High of 58 at MSP. Not seeing any ice shacks on the lake anymore.

Anything for latitude north of NYC?

Absolutely premium weather today. After going to the Clarksburg Outlets, I decided to wing it over to the Dickerson area of the Potomac. Water did not smell (as expected, since it's further north) and noticed some early budding on trees. A lot of geese, or whatever they were (kinda looked like seagulls, though not sure that's a thing there lol). Also tried the Arch Burger...too messy. Pass. Making up for it with baked salmon (late dinner). Oh, and the US is cracking homers against Mexico. Didn't even realize the WBC was on.

pack absolutely obliterated locally. Woods have snow but open areas are 50/50 at best

Well looks like ski season ends before spring break. .

As soon as I got out of Weymouth most areas were snow covered. Funny what woods can do. Highly variable in my hood. Some areas buried, some areas are grass.

Bookend winter, like 1981-82. Early Dec big S+ (and big bust surprise) and then April blizzard!

Yes the first one, I recall that morning, scud off the ocean up the wazoo. Definitely did not look like a pre-snowstorm environment! Too mild. But the convective nature of the storm did its magic across SNE. Big surprise. The second one R/S mix in Woburn w/ .3" of slush when I left for WSI at 1130pm. Got to Rt 3 in Burlington, S+ and quite a ride. Trees and branches all leaning over on the highway (this was when it was still 2 lanes). Pulled into work, and the power when out. Worked a midshift on backup power. Not too bad. Just whiny ppl call saying Intellicast was not available. Those servers were not on the UPS. I got one caller say "people are gonna DIE b/c Intellicast is not available!!!" Yeah, yeah, whatever, I felt like quoting Butt-head and saying, "Hey, it's FREE asswipe!!!" Not a paying client/customer. Scott was probably mad it was down b/c that was one of the only sites that had radar at the time (NWS radar data was not free on the web until 1999).

This is pretty cool
