Battle of two seasons. .

It is a period we have highlighted ad nauseam however. To show what might be up for the offering seems like fair game. It’s just a peak into a window of possibility and is obviously subject to change.

First socked in day of probably many to come.

"Just when I think I'm out..." However this season ends, following storms here has been a lot of fun this winter. This is also the year I'll forever remember as the one that my wife began shouting facebook updates to me from the other room about what the GFS is saying vs the NAM vs the Euro. Surreal is the only way to describe that. I guess I have to up my game now. Enjoy all - take care.

It was 29° at midnight here. So it was very efficient glazing. Every drizzle drop accreted.

Not only warm tonight but the dews are forecast to jump into the low 50s here, heavy melt I would expect if it plays out like that.

At 3,000ft we measured only 36” in February, which is kind of wild. It didn’t rain either, just didn’t do much of anything. Should be 70-75” on average. We’ve gone really dry since sometime in January… but snowpack has remained healthy due to the strong early season base. Snowfall was pacing way above normal by like early to mid January and has now fallen back to a normal pace for the high elevations.

That 0.7 makes all the difference. Walking Dog last night in downtown Dover that was basically the difference between business as usual and accidents all over the place. We had patches of black ice but largely very isolated, untraveled surfaces.

Posting stuff like that 11 days out deserves chop busting.

I'm trying to be optimistic but it's looking less hopeful now. God needs to point a big fan toward the mid Atlantic.

Yeah I figured. NBD. Just odd. I'll post my grade here when Winter is actually over lol

Have to give it an A. Was tempted to say A- since we got relatively shafted here in the blizzard but the combination of cold and over 50” on the season is definitely high end. If we get a good snow event this month I’ll go A+.

No here... it is worse this morning than yesterday

Yup caribou has been dry. Sledding has been very good though this year..despite the lack of siggy storms there.

We had a litter of bunnies in our garden last spring. It was amazing how fast they went from hairless newborns to regular looking cottontails.

I certainly do…I just don’t like when folks constantly bust his chops. All good.

True, but I guess you need to give some to get some.

Only 64.2 this morning. This is summer like heat

I thought the Ambient wasn't reading wind correctly, but after getting the Tempest, my wind speeds have not changed. I'm so protected by mountains on both sides of me (I live in a low area at the top of an inverted V formation). As such, I'm never going to get the impressive gusts that other, more open locations can get no matter which station I have. As for the Tempest, it's decent, but you better get a separate rain gauge or way to measure melted snow in the winter because the hepatic rain gauge won't pick up snowflakes. Turns out the Ambient was a good PWS, and I'm actually thinking of buying another one.

For a further illustration of how remarkable the warmth has been in recent years, seven months have now seen their highest average temperature set since 2020. So far, no records have been set in any of the spring months. However, there is a chance that could change this month. With its sizzling start and possible near-record/record heat next week, 2026 is very likely to finish among the 10 warmest years on record in March. A new record is possible should the predominant winter pattern persist through much of the month.

how did you fair during the snow and cold of February? my panels were completely covered nearly the entire month.

We’re near normal here…maybe a hair above season to date after this week. But I’m talking deeper into NNE like CAR. And idc about ski resorts. CAR has 69.3” (-23” season to date) right now. That’s pathetic. But to your point…a BN season in SNE can seem “pretty snowy” to someone from DC.

The east coast south of boston always struck me as a feast/famine climate for winter, but nyc really feasted this year after multiple years if famine.

FWIW it was posted in almost all the subforums

On the flip side, it would give you more snow since the mountains wouldn’t be there to eat up clippers/maulers.
