I was getting my daily weather readings and just noticed west central Wisc where my Uncle lives may get shellacked just before my Mar 16 birthday.

Yes there have gotta be a lot of records like that. My temp spiked to 75 by 4am and 1pm 9 hours later Daytime it’s 33!and heavy snow. Many of those sort of things likely were exceeded by yesterday to today .

1.5” here although it snowed at rate of 1.5”ph for two hours. Radiance was really well minimized but still 2-3 degrees too mild. I think Richmond hit 89 yesterday and at same time this afternoon it was 33 and heavy snow

Thanks Buddy!!

Chuck , that cardinal shot looks like you pointed your camera at a high quality Christmas card painted by an experienced artist. Great photo !

I’m just a neighborhood curmudgeon

I hate to hear that. Condolences.

After the 21st i would consider it no longer, Its still winter up here now.

you'll see more snow but I don't consider it "winter" when it's late March or April regardless

Historic actually. They will eclipse or come very close to some 24hr monthly records, as well as breaking some multi-day snowfall accumulations across portions of WI.

This was a solid thaw. Noteworthy. We lost 20” of snowpack at home, and 21” at the base of the mountain. 42” to 21” this week at 1,500ft.

Truly incredible event. I'll remember this winter for a long time.

This is true! The highest temperature confirmed the day prior to at least 0.1" of snow at DCA was 78F on 3/18/1934. The next day (3/19/1934), DCA measured 0.1". This was at the location prior to the new location of DCA now. Another tidbit that likely has been broken was the warmest temperature on the same day at least 0.1" was recorded. The previous record was 67F on 11/11/1995 before a strong cold front came through allowing for 0.2" of snow to accumulate later that day. DCA at the 08z ob (1:52AM), the temperature was 77F which would obliterate the old record by 10 degrees. This was quite the event.

You are correct: From CWG (https://x.com/capitalweather/status/2032191663586545668)

I guess were not done with winter up here.

It’s winter in Florida too. You average in March what I average in April…and I don’t consider April a winter month here.

Had 0.3” here on grass and colder surfaces. As soon as I drove up the hill to my neighborhood the ground got white

Damn 83 years old, RIP. Him and Chuck Scarborough…part of my childhood.

We were taking our daughter to PWM for her flight to PHL, so we'd have missed even if we tried. (And the snow in PHL and Harrisburg canceled her flight. She and a couple dozen fellow 'refugees' are overnighting in the secured section of the airport, and will catch the 5:20 AM flight to DCA thence to PHL, probably on a 2nd airplane. Fortunately, she had no checked baggage.) Sandy River was up thanks to yesterday's warmth, but nothing serious. If we get an inch-plus at 50° on Monday, could be some excitement. Ice cover should still be thick and solid, and a 3-mile jam formed from Farmington Falls to the head of rapids in New Sharon last December during ice-in.

It was same up here. 2000 Feet had a dusting with maybe an inch above 2500 ft on Wallen Ridge near Pennington gap. Norton had Vehicles and grass covered from what I was told. Not alot of observing lately as Son n Law passed little over a week ago and Life here has changed.

Have to see if this is confirmed, but the temperature yesterday to having at least 0.1" of snowfall measured at DCA might be the warmest it has ever been for that occurrence. I will double check, but I believe the previous record was a temp in the upper 70s.

Enough of that bullcrap. Its still winter.

Agree. I remember watching Storm Field and also Frank Field.

Yeah…should be red up here

This actually happened at the right time here. It got dark before any real melting could begin. This makes it about on par with the rest of the events this year for the yard.
