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.

Pretty healthy snow shaping up for Minnesota and Wisconsin this weekend

sadly, that is most likely correct. forecast be damned, wet roads, non-accumulating snow, etc. we're gonna dump

I was looking at @Cobaltas your biggest threat, but BWI seemed to be in a snow hole today while RIC hit the jackpot.

Sucker (thankfully) missed the house by roughly a third of a mile.

I don't think I've ever seen you root for snow in N IL.

51F 24 hour temp drop at DCA - largest (tied) on record.

If you go onto COD nexrad and look at the satellite you can see the snow disappear as soon as the cloud deck exits eastward.

It swept through the area. Everyone east of MT Airy got similar amounts although it my have accumulated more in colder spots.

Getting icy-slush freezing over on my deck.

I’m guessing nobody bothered to measure until it was too late and everything had already melted. It’s a huge abdication of responsibility if that’s the case. They should revise it to what the nearest site measured - if they could revise the 2009-10 totals down months after the fact, then they can do the same here the other way around.

Rip! And Storm Field was a really good weatherman and personality.

It was *never* going to be anywhere close to "cheap" to hedge, at any point. You're fighting not only physics, but politics and human nature. It would require not only taking a huge hit to our prosperity - but convincing all the other countries in the world to take that same hit. Good luck with that. I don't think you understand just *how* much of our prosperity is based on the foundation of fossil fuel use. It's literally been the basis for the industrial revolution. The big inflection point was 150 years ago - not 20 years ago. But if we somehow had managed to avoid that inflection point - we wouldn't have anything close to the prosperity we do today. We perhaps had a smidgen of a chance decades ago, with the advent of nuclear power. But then the clueless anti-nuke lobby, led by the likes of Ralph Nader, ensured that wasn't going to happen*. Even still that would have only gotten us so far; even with all-nuclear electricity we still would have other fossil fuel uses in transportation and industry to deal with. (*Edit: In his defense - he didn't know about MMGW back then. He might have a difference stance today if so. Nevertheless - he and others like him were responsible for the extreme over-reactive risk aversion that killed nuclear.)

By by early buds. Temp down to 32 degrees already.

Son of a bi... Not only did I screwed again up here in Northern MD with no snow but I got screwed with the contest too. Lol.

Yes. I will do so.

Because it’s not a winter month down there

Not really but I think it’s supposed to be funny

I miss the days of sand, salt is terrible for the vehicles but more effective in treating the roads

Gotta make sure they use it all to prevent those budget cuts

This was around 9am this morning at 2600 feet at my cousin's house. It snowed pretty hard here but didn't stick. It was 33 here, probably 30 or 31 up there.

Winnipeg

It is a joke. There is literally no way considering I was around that area this afternoon and everything, non-pavement, was covered.
