Received my first misquito bite of the season on the golf course Sunday. Got me on the calf before I could swat it away. Guess from now until November I will need to be all sprayed up...

Interesting Madison sits at 41.5" while RFD at 24" considering the eastern trough pattern dominating a lot of the winter. That 70 miles shows up significantly in seasonal averages. RFD at 37" vs 50" for Madison. They even exceed Milwaukee seasonally which seems odd given MKE LES potential to fluff up totals.

Last night's Euro has a high of 80º+ next Tuesday ahead of a strong cold front, with a few pockets reaching the mid 80s, before the pattern turns much colder.

Summers have gotten shorter with all the bogus cancellations for a minor winter event not to mention all the holidays they have added in recent years

They do towards the last week of June... unless it is too hot... or too smokey from wildfires... or it the day ends in a "y"...

February was a shit show with some places off a week for Feb break and then the blizzard and today's mess

Forecast up to 2-4 here. Hit -12 overnight, probably a 40+ diurnal range today. Currently pure blue skies.

It has been an A+ year for winter here at my location. We ended up with 16.5 inches of snow for the season. The December snows back to back really got things started with a bang. Here's to hope for an exceptional season with ample snowfall for all next winter.

3/2 was this the coldest day till next season? EWR: 32 / 21 (-11) NYC: 33 / 21 (-12)

35 / 30 here with mainly rain now after sleet earlier. Warm up ramp up starting Wed 50s , Sun 60s , and by Tue 70s for some (first since Oct). Overall warm to much warmer and wet (wettest days today / Thu) . With the warmth comes mainly cloudy days with perhaps a break and the nicest stretch 3/9 - 3/11. Beyond there back towards and below normal 3/13 - 3/19.

Would love to see a redux of this

It snowed for about 5 minutes before changing to rain lol.

Hopefully NOVA stays on the warm side of the BDCF.

Do kids go to school anymore in SNE?

Depth 15.5 Water Equivalent 2.71

Over reaction to closings around Seymour? Still can’t believe we closed. .

Started as a sleet/snow mix, never all snow. 31.2⁰ and 90% rain now

Sleet falling in Clifton, Nj

And three or four days later…

I know last week there was a discussion about the total new snow reporting at Wintergreen. Yesterday, their Devil’s Knob camera ( golf course on top of mountain) showed the ground going from clear to snow covered, even the walkways. The three ski trail cameras also showed snow falling. Grass is still snow covered this AM but there is no new snow being reported. I think Devils Knob is the highest golf course in Virginia.

Bright sun and 25° here near KBED. Hard to believe in 3 hours it'll be snowing....

Wow-really dumb

One thing of note this year is that Op guidance seemingly has done pretty well vs longer lead ENS guidance, so hey, maybe once again, this has a chance. Verbatim what you've shared would be "anomalous enough". Lol
