All Activity

Heavy thunder the house shook from it and very bright lightning here

No one did. Reminds me of the November 2002 Van Wert, OH tornado, the environment in no way seemed supportive of that sort of twister yesterday. The ice on the lake caps it off

Snow eating fog overnight. Holding strong in about 60% of my backyard but by morning most of it might be gone.

Today's loss...

It looks like the line has broken up. Hopefully we'll get some beneficial rain before the strong cold front arrives next Thursday night or Friday.

We all know you’re losing it…the only question is whether it gets down into this area too.

All signs from nature are screaming real winter's over. Couple counties south this morning have greening grass and worms out. I've got summer birds here even. Sucky cold spells are typical spring thing for NMI so I'm hardly saying last flakes have flown but this and last winter have closely paralleled one another and I expect that will be the case as we continue. Just hoping the crap 3rd week of May doesn't repeat. Worst in a century so the odds are against ofc. I'm just 0.9" ahead of last season's total, and that difference is the 1" bigger largest storm vs last winter. Would be wild if I can go without more measurable snow.

back end snow action on the euro for march 12

After a cold March 12th-13th and then a couple of days of mild, the EW are still showing ~7-8 days of BN dominant cold in the E US that ends ~Mar 23rd. After that, they show back and forth averaging NN into early April.

Models are also showing waves along cold fronts ( rain to snow) Active pattern coming

Nice. Wish I had a pool.

Fast retreating snow cover:

in time they will all loose it then the ghost of the storm will show for a run or 2 then vanish its how it works

I have seen a ton of talk about this all the time if we are just a inch down they talk about this on the local news weather. infact last spring was very wet we were up like 4.00 inches for the year it didnt rain for a week and we were down like -1 inch for the year? they honestly havent relaly stopped talking about it even during the cold snap

That usually works out well for us. having the pool fully renovated starting Monday. Turn the page.

Thunderstorm here. First one of the year.

I did. I used that as a guide back to 2008 and also used the F6 for EWR BDR BDL and ORH. And then checked pns and coop/cocorahs for those dates that showed snow and my memory as well. Oh and Ray's winter storm archive I think i just didn't include it in the main archive bc it didn't affect CT with any snow >3". I am going back and filling in all the missing storms in the SNE snowfall maps pages (every N MA, E MA, S NJ only storm). There's a lot.

Yup looks like it was separated into two parts on the 20-21st and the 23rd. The pns lists it as two separate events even though it was part of the same system. https://arctic.som.ou.edu/tburg/products/realtime/models/?model=era5&base=ptype&background=plain&state=states_brown&country=countries_brown&proj=conus&archive=false&run=2010121100

Snow is still deep. The old Honda says no, no , we won't go.

Pictures from my sunrise Shenandoah trip on Friday. Drove out from NOVA at 5am and had to brave 30 miles of dense fog as I neared the mountains. Then as I started up the mountain the clouds cleared as temperatures climbed through the low level inversion. Had a perfect clearing to the east to see the sunrise sandwiched between the cloud decks. Watched it rise into the mid level clouds with my friend and got some pictures of rain wisps falling in the distance with a lenticular cloud making an appearance (not captured). Got lucky with a brief period of sun rays hitting the cloud deck. Afterwards hiked to Mary's Rock and got to see the difference in cloud coverage between the east and west side of the mountains. Finally we headed back down and saw the sun finally clear out the mid level clouds. Was a magical experience.

In Baltimore for dinner and the sun was out from 4 pm or so onward. About to bed chile and probably run into a nice storm.

Models are showing cold fronts with rain to snow along it for our area. Interesting.

The million dollar question is if that line of showers in central PA makes it here. [emoji3]
