1/25 - 2.5” of mostly sleet 1/31 - 7” of champagne powder 2/5 - 1” of icing on the cake to freshen up my champagne powder Season total: 10.5” Notable: Several cold periods with rare staying power. I went about 3 weeks with some sort of ice/snow coverage on the ground. Complaints? Few. Wish Christmas would’ve been cold but it felt like a winter of old. Final grade: A+ This winter reminded me so much of when I was a kid in the foothills. Multiple storms, including one good slop fest, a true snow and sneak-up event that was minor. It’s hard to be mad at this past season. I really hope this is the start of a better long term pattern, and even if it’s not, it was good to see we’re capable of going above average in snow/sleet accumulation not entirely dependent on one event.

The Euro has low teens across Iowa Monday afternoon, then 70s by Thursday and 80s Friday.

I mean, it looks like the worst possible outcome, of course. No real warmth and no real snow chances. Id guess that as we make it to the end of the month some nicer days will appear though. Doesn’t take much to run at 60-65 by late March early April, even if the anomalies aren’t overly impressive

That is a good write up - and VERY bullish...wow

You guys got shafted on that 1/31 storm but at least it still beat warning criteria for sure. This winter ranked high in the excitement category. I still can’t believe we had almost a full month of wall to wall tracking. I absolutely can’t remember the last time that happened.

Finally issued wind advisories. Might as well just keep posted through Wednesday.

Who knows, maybe some overrunning/SWFE potential in the last week of March..but nothing really to get excited about. Could easily turn into another cutter or two.

I wasn't paying attention but didn't realize we were expecting wind today. Guess it makes sense with the storm in the lakes. Lost power earlier, just long enough to have to reset all the clocks.

Agreed. Although at this point it looks mostly south of our sub for really significant tornado threats, it wouldn't take much to put Richmond or even DC under the gun. Makes sense; really potent jet ejecting at over 50kts translationally into a relatively large OWS with >60s dews is always a recipe to go big time.

We always do wind well in March. Surprised there's no wind advisory IMBY though.

76mph gust at KDAY

Andrew is quite conservative. To see him honking like this a couple days out is interesting.

Someone posted the snowpack map for the Western US it was horrendous with some places 25% of normal with most 50% and a few 75% of normal

Looking forward to 65-70° with 50° windchills Sunday.

Lets get a coastal

enjoy the cool dry wx

Same here. Left the generator out there just in case it goes out again this evening.

Going to be issues this summer with how dry it has been. Unless they get a ton of rain soon or snow, they are going to have major drought conditions, and high chances of wildfires.

For me its- 1/17- .25" surprise dusting 1/25- 2" of mostly sleet .25 ZR 1/31- 5" of wind blown powder 2/5- .5" Season total- 7.25" and .25 ZR Final Grade- B+ I can't give it an A here and quite frankly its more of a B or B- when comparing to the 30 year average but when comparing to the last 10 years it was a solid winter. We broke our non WSW criteria drought, had multiple events for the first time in years and quite a bit to track during that 4 week period. I can't give it an A because we still didn't get a true southern Miller A paste bomb and it was generally dry.

Next week's "cold" really moderate from what it looked like 3-5 days ago-coldest day is Wed at 40 degrees...earlier runs showed high 20's into the low 30's for a couple of days

A colder dry !
