Police confirm it was a 12-year-old boy who died in Cass County. Based on police reports and scanner traffic, there was no warning when the house was struck.

I don’t think that’s true at all. There might be some who don’t like bitter cold with nothing to show for it, but most enjoy winter as it should be.

Hopefully Euro skynet has the right idea for the 16th.

just miss to the north, but mitch and TSSN get hit pretty solidly

Sorry to hear that. Even a snowblower is work, if you do it right. I normally have to pull up on the handle a little to make sure the front of the snowblower is getting all the way down to the pavement. It gets a little tiring after a while. Sure beats shoveling. I shoveled a few mounds on the road and piled them on my lawn, hoping to sculpt a polar bear. By the time I got started, I realized that it would all be melted in less than a week, so I abandoned the idea...

Although the sun has quickly won the battle against the overcast here in Charlottesville... Blue skies have quickly appeared..

and still possible up to 1 inch or more equivalent frozen precip in some still to be determined areas of the region over the next 5 weeks - this time of the year models have difficulty until a day or more before frozen events example 4/7/2003 and 4/6/82 and various other storms

I was through your quaint little town yesterday. I got rear-ended in York last week with $11K+ in damages. At first the insurance company was going to pay to repair but more work was probably needed so they totalled it. Not happy. Anyway, near identical car to mine was for sale at a dealer in Selinsgrove, so I went up there and got it. Accidents suck, but fortunately my wife and I weren't hurt because the jeep that hit us slid above the bumper and crinkled the body lessening the impact, but causing more damage. I gotta shlep up there next week to pick it up and pay. I'll wave as I come through.

CSU MLP has increased our odds for Wednesday.

As of March 7th, 71.0" Windham, NH.

Summer is boring..

Same people who complained about the last several winters are the ones who can't wait for this winter to end. As I have previously mentioned there aren't all that many winter lovers here. The majority only tolerate winter because of the increased chances for snow..they are snow lovers not winter lovers..

FWIW, is it to much to ask for one decent late snow? Ensemble Average 10 day snowfall Individual Ensemble 10 day Runs Select City Temp Cross Sections

Delayed, but not denied: The Sun.

that you are, mine are two stories above a concrete patio, I'd need a pole 30 feet long, I'm not going up there on a ladder. It's doesn't really matter much in December or January, there is a big pine tree to my south and it's shadow crosses the array midday, but by early-mid February the sun is above the tree and sunny day production really takes off. Typical winter consumption for my family is about 19-20 kwh/day, summer it's 16-18/day if AC isn't needed. For heat, a typical 30F day the house uses ~10k BTUs/hr on average, on a 0F design day it's about 30k BTU. I'm curious what a water heat pump in that output range looks like from a cost and equipment footprint perspective, gas boilers don't last for ever.

Fairly strong signal for a major system to impact the region around the St. Patrick’s day timeframe. @OrdIowPitMsp gets absolutely clobbered on the 12z GFS.

a lot of rain coming in the next 20 days. Probably around 3-5 inches area wide!

we can hope....april showers and all....we can use the rain though.

I think April will be warm and dry, that's just my honest opinion, no scientific reasoning!

Winter holding on for dear life. Still haven’t made it out of the 40s this week…maybe this evening

it was in my 30's after 94 that i got my first snowblower....i was diagnosed in 1996 after a viral illness caught teaching summer school the summer before; it was hell; but even the snow blower is heavy and causes me issues, plus i still have to shovel areas between the cars and clean out the back porch for the dogs. but its ok, we love it. gotta pace myself, 63 years old.....it goes fast. and usually, i'm on the fringe with a lot of storms, but got hit with them this year. every year is different.

Gotta think one of those systems between 3/13-3/18+ track favorably for SNE..a lot of storms are coming through the pipeline. CNE/NNE look best obviously, but I think we can score one in SNE.

Ya, March is long, so one more good event would be perfect. Go out with a bang. And Let’s get some warm days next week before we go back the other way.

Thanks for keeping it real and reasonable.

That's some white on the rooftops that I haven't seen on this web cam much
