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.

There’s CAA, but a weak inv trough is swinging through N to S too

AIGFS locked in on south hasn’t wavered in days.

Wow! Heavy heavy

I do too. I do Truckee and Tahoe as well. Sometimes, if they're getting hammered, I watch Leavenworth, Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass in Washington.

4.0” total as of a few hours ago.

CAA from the NW?

He should move to Cut Bank, Montana. Then, once in a while.......

Just about to hit here. What’s causing this?

Chiming in to add to those who had some snizzle/flakes/flurries today. Was sitting at a traffic light during an afternoon errand run and noticed some flakes on the windshield. Should have taken a picture of it, but I even saw a truck owner with mounds of snow left on his bed cover in the Giant parking lot off Winding Hill. I mean, how lazy do you have to be to still have mounds of snow on your vehicle 2.5 weeks after the storm? I even said out loud as I walked by it “what a lazy F***” Seems like the Canadian model is the only one still holding on for all snow for our area. Will be interesting to see what happens as we get closer. Point and click has temps in the high 30s and lows 40s all through the ten day. Hoping its wrong, but its early enough, we can still score.

Looks like some sort of squally line moving north to south. Clouds are dark and everything.

Pounding +SHSN

Upton AFD says high amount of uncertainty for next potential storm AFD from KOKX

Temu Geo Wash said it’s gonna be rain. He has spoken. He knows. Rain it shall be.
