Pepperidge farms remembers. They always remember.

couple flurries on way home from office. digi thermo stuck on 37 whole way from etown to akron. Never budged.

Well, it would probably double most people's snow climo, right... ?

I hear King John remembered that storm well!!

There have been murmurs about potential windows around the 20th and 24th.

I haven't bothered to look when the threat is, and maybe it's already been mentioned, but something after this weekend made the Eps and Geps snowfall maps jump today.

This is how we know things are winding down here when we talk about the one off amazing situations. The April snows…1993…the great St Paddy’s day blizzard of 1755…the white Easter of 1215 just after the Magna Carta signing Meanwhile people in Maine are like ok folks first quarter is over let’s do this.

2018 was the last time metro Baltimore had March snow that was more than a flurry.

Regarding the dearth of heavy snowfalls in late March, Caswell's weather diary extends the period back a few more years (to spring 1832) and also samples a different location (Providence) to 1860, it's the same story other than a record of 7.5" on March 24, 1840, all very low record values otherwise in late March, and an extra major snowfall in early April is uncovered, 18.0" fell on Apr 13-14, 1841. From his comments this was also a very severe windstorm (nor'easter of course). Toronto's record snowfalls show a less anomalous dropoff when comparing late March and early April, for the period 1843 to present, there are a few rather large falls in the late March interval but some daily records are below the run of those encountered in early April, so a bit of the same signal applies there too.

Sustained cold/BN temps and frequent daytime highs in 40s. I’m sure we’ll have freezes into april but that’s not unusual spring weather here.

Well, for the Cleveland Browns it's not superstition over the past couple of decades. They just suck and don't play well no matter what the situation, the opponent, or time of year!!!

Some decent snow going thru Butler Co and at @RitualOfTheTrout home.

I recall in my area, Bob Chill may recall as well, we got about 8inches of snow March 30th 2003. Week before it had been in the 70s.

Actually, that video doesn’t do it justice. The visibility is below a quarter of a mile.

Nice! Refresher of the refresher 79254029887__7B36935C-FEA9-4B23-BA4E-F16FFAB9A2A6.MOV

I think the "weekend rule" stuff is over-stated, and/or stated with some jest. If one considers Friday as essentially nearly the weekend and considers that many events spill over into another day (e.g., starts later Friday, goes into or through Saturday), you're talking nearly half the week right there. So yeah, decent chance a storm will occur then. Add in Monday holidays in the winter (MLK Day, Pres Day) and that's even more "weekend" relatively speaking. Plus, perception bias in part, one tends to perhaps recall events that occur on a weekend more.

I'll just note I'm just talking the last week of Feb not March. March snow is annoying to track but it most certainly happens.

neither has its cousin the GFS - Canadian has stayed with the more amped north solution - Euro has displayed both - thats why Upton has maintained a high amount of uncertainty which it should 5 days out

Looks like it's been snowing all day from NW Mass up into Western Vermont.

So here's a question. Given that "the planet" is generally a self-contained system with very little (essentially no) variance in externalities with regards to energy inputs (mainly solar irradiance - generally near-constant) and output (terrestrial radiation - generally near-constant) - shouldn't the warming of the planet just be essentially a straight (or curved) line with an always-upwards slope, such that a new record should be set *every* year? Or is it the case that it's really just these records are just really just referring to "the places we are measuring" and not "the planet" as a whole? Yes - question is somewhat rhetorical, but is intended to trigger some thought. If one presumes that the planet as a whole is warming continually, then what are the "holes" in the data? Are there significant areas of the ocean for instance that we're just not measuring, and the reason we don't see a new record every year is because of the non-existent data that would offset the data we do have? Or perhaps is it the case that we are in fact measuring the whole "surface" (including the oceans), but the surface temperature as a whole actually does go up and down based on something - e.g. subterranean effects e.g. "bubbles" in mantle convection, or perhaps solar cycles?

Back to -SN An additional 3/4” or so. We’ll call it 0.7”

I'd take March 2018 over this any day.

Agree. I can recall several advisory to warning-level snows between late February and mid-March, it's really not all that rare of a thing relatively speaking. I know there are those who tend to thumb their nose at later season snow events but we've had a decent number. And in not the greatest setups, too.
