Yes, it's definitely heading in the spring direction. But it's not completely over. Not just a wish in my brain but there are are some tricks still up the sleeve of old man winter. Once we get past that warm weather in the beginning of next week there is going to be a downturn in temps that could also coincide with a storm. Not saying you're wrong and I'm right, but also not saying you're right and that I'm wrong. Makes sense?

This Feb was my 9th coldest with a 29.4° mean and 5th snowiest with 25.9". Also 5th coldest met winter... 50 years of record.

Hey suzook, I don’t know if you’ve seen it but latest FFC has only ~68 in your area and only ~62 closer in to ATL due to their stronger wedged E winds for Mon’s highs. CHS has us here similar to your 68 with brisk NE winds from the wedge. But indeed, this is still a far cry from the 40s highs in NC.

Now getting ready to piss on some more local yards it appears

Well, in any event ... first day of Meteorological spring. Time of the year when the streets can start steaming while it is snowing.. more so toward mid month+ but we're gettin' there. As I pointed out earlier, the indices are giving numerical values that have correlated to some impressively warm departures in springs of the past. However, the operational models ( save maybe the 00Z CMC) are not expanding their solution to fill that gap. They're coming out with solutions that are 50 (GFS) or 70% (Euro). I have to say, I don't really have a problem with that limited idea. The PV is decidedly on our side of the NP/hemisphere... These overnight ensemble means are showing a rather extraordinarily deep signature out there between the 15th and 20th anchored around the Canadian archipelago - granted that's a long ways off, during a spring month no less doesn't lend a lot of confidence/stability expectations, but they all three have it. Pure speculation, but that being there (if/when...) likely compresses the gradient and keeps the atmosphere fast, as well as chillier from the GL-NE at those latter times. We'll see.

10" 0.1" new this morning. It started to whiten colder pavement, but fell short.

Just need to put the garden hose on it and they'll fly down that track.

Did you end up hitting 60 yesterday?

It’s been pounding here for the last hour. Over 1”and still falling moderate/heavy.

I got close top 2 inches, surprised you didn't get more.

Winter was okay for me RE snowfall...nothing that stands out. The blizzard being mundane here failed to distinguish this winter from the pack in terms of snowfall.

Low of 39 this first morning of March. Already 69 at 11:30. Low 70's today, low 50's tomorrow then 70's from Wednesday to the 12th at least. Weeds are growing, trees starting to bud. Spring is arriving quickly.

Not sure a flake fell here

Someone order a clown map?

I think coating-2 worked out fine for CT, most were in the C-1 range, but up to 2 covers the 1"+ amounts u have a season total

I doubt it's a joke for a lot of you...

Gfs is interesting NoP later this week.

Yeah. Like 0.25” Here. my totals are in the table BristolRI created but doesn’t include todagy

Was 36 when it started snowing now down to 31. 0.3" Where's the 2" inches I was promised by "some"?

Somehow only managed 0.2" this morning 67.2" season to date

So awesome! we had one in the woods here

I don't doubt that at all. I plot and do all the contours by hand for every storm. I don't have software to feed in a bunch of data and auto generate a snowfall map from averaged/smoothed data. A lot of the NESIS maps are conservative and in some cases way too conservative like February 2013 where there is no 30"+ area over CT despite a very large area and many many reports of 30-40". @ORH_wxman can attest to that, we were talking about that a few weeks ago. That's just one example. So i knew the NESIS map would be a bit lower/conservative, every map is going to look a bit different. However even with that being said there are some glaringly obvious problems with the current storm. There is a small area of 4-10" near Danbury which i am certain was well over 10" being on the eastern edge of that deformation band. Most of the reports around there are 17-22" and on the low end 12-15" so there's no reason why a hole of sub 10" should be there. Just one example. The area of 20-30" should also be much wider over NJ west and south of NYC, even with smoothing considered, many reports of 20-30" in Monmouth and Ocean counties away from the immediate shore.

Kids “Olympic Bobsled Track” with a new coating on it. They actually made this by accident due to the deep snow when they tried to sled, it created a depression to form the track and then once they saw bobsled and luge on TV, they decided that’s what their own track was.
