Always love seeing BN heights in New Foundland and Labrador in late March and April with the ridge axis 800 miles west of us.

It’ll be interesting to see what yesterday and today officially amount to.

That's almost certainly what happened. In ORH, they were able to get some measurements from the airport for a while despite no official observer, but then that stopped eventually and they started using an observer near the airport. This process happened faster at BDL. You see so many instances of no report at BDL airport but then you get "East Granby" and I also remember a few times seeing them identical when they happened to put both in the report. It's like when BOS had the Winthrop coop doing the Logan measurements for a while...you'd see something like "0.6 W Winthrop" and Logan airport would have identical totals to the nearest tenth.

Peak wind gusts with this storm system... 44MPH - ORD 47MPH - MDW 40MPH - RFD

been a while since we had widespread 65-70 mph gusts. Isaias?

makes up for you slant sticking all those dabs

ORD received 1.3" of snow from this event (A bit low-balled), with 5.7" at RFD. …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 33.7" - ORD 29.7" - RFD

17.0° here at 3pm. Impressive.

Love these squalls

Half inch March. From outies to innies in two weeks. March has shit the bed more often than not lately. You’d think we would be due.

Lots of clearing operations on the parkways here today-branches and trees down. Thankfully I kept power but not far from me lost it.

Let's hit 90 with that!

Totalled 3.7 inches at my house. There was 4 inches in fields and on an old mower I have out back. Had it all accumulated there'd probably been 5-6 inches. There's been a lot of Sun here this Afternoon that has quickly melted most if it. A large area of off and on Snow showers are moving west to east just to the North. Some look heavy. If that area had moved further South we may have racked up another inch or two on the Total.

And the Euro, one of the warmest currently, does have a warm bias plus RONI is ~0.5 lower right now. In addition, Eric’s bold calls shouldn’t be mistaken for him necessarily being likely to be right as he’s had his share of busts.

just depends on the timing of the cold front...

Central suffolk LI. grade: A a 3”+ snow in March would’ve made it an A+ for me

Funny people can take the same data and come to different conclusions. The point you are missing is that energy technologies: solar, wind, batteries, EV etc., are getting better and cheaper on well established technology improvement curves. Until recently these technologies weren't competitive with fossil fuels. However, going forward they are going to have an increasing cost advantage and subsidies will be less and less important. As an example, China is ending their subsidies of electric cars. Yes, China is still building coal plants, but renewable share of electricity generation is still growing rapidly, and coal use in China dropped last year.

I will say a D in south wake. My reasoning is we got more snow last season and the snow fell during the day last year. This season got 2.5....2 inches of snow at night and a half inch of sleet also at night. in addition, you have to throw in the epic bust of both systems over wake co. Dry slotted both storms. I don't care about the dustings before that.

6" here...I've seen worse in terms of snowfall, but been very mild.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some areas get into the 70’s on Sunday

We had an okay week up here before the torch with 2 moderate events totaling a foot. But yeah, a chicken and beer finish overall.

I can't believe how badly March sucked, but then again, it makes sense in one respect given seasonal snowfall was already about where I had envisioned.

Moderate also is significant severe and as per spc chart requires 75+mph winds or ef2 or greater tornadoes which there was none of either.

Definitely agree with you there. I'd even take 80 and sunny. Or 90 and sunny. But none of these wild temperature swings we've had the last week. I don't want it to be in the 90s one day and the 50s the very next day. If I wanted that type of weather, I could move to Nebraska.
