Winds gusting past 40. Surprised no advisory

3.4"/0.25" here, patches of blue and trees are emptying. The high ratios continue. Long term here it's very close to 10:1 while seasons have ranged from 12.4 down to 7.1, but this snow season is currently at 14.2. Without the Jan 25-27 fluff (19.6" with ratio 25:1) it would be about 12:1, still AN. We'll reach the Ides with only 0.71" precip (March avg 3.71") as BN continues to rule. Maybe Mon-Tues 1-2", would bring the month closer to the average. (Would likely push the Sandy River to bank full, maybe higher if ice jams form.)

It's that and also that the Miler B's develop too late for them and there's been a big increase in SWFEs that do not redevelop in time-so there's a sleet/ice mess for most of central PA instead of snow. Clippers there are usually OK but those have largely gone extinct too. Stray lake effect streamers usually add a few inches per winter but it's normally just a series of coatings to an inch. The real lake effect dries up coming over the Allegheny Ridge. It's just been a combination of factors that have totally screwed them over and it's way past the point where we can say it's temporary. This year Williamsport just has 19" when they used to average 40" or so in a winter. State College I think has about 25". When I went to PSU they were just done with the big 02-03 and 03-04 winters when they had plenty of those storm types that were good there-a couple coast huggers and storms like 12/5/03 that redeveloped in time to keep it snow. When I was there was when the big downturn really started (you can see the big slump starting in the mid 2000s)-it was quite frustrating. Many misses/busts/disappointments. Central PA is the absolute last place I would move if you want exciting winters. Would rather watch paint dry.

First call for here/QC 0.2-1.2" of snow after a quick hitting non-severe squall line.
-
But NAO/AO continues to trend negative prior to that for week 2: NAO just 3 days ago: Yesterday: Today:

March 58, one time?

Sometimes I get really p***** off when I think about all the stuff I wrote as Flatheadsickness that got deleted. The crazy thing is you all can choose to believe this or not but this phenomenon has commonly been witnessed by cannabis growers including myself during lights out for years . Back in my FHS days, some you may or may not remember I actually wrote about trees and Turgor movements right before thunderstorms which may or not be related to Coronae glow. Back when I wrote about it, I just didn't know the proper scientific term for changes in the leaf . I still witness turgor movements in tree foliage every single foliage season right before thunderstorms ,but no one else ever seemes the notice. Thunderstorms conjure ghostly coronae in treetops, observed outdoors for the first time The weak electric discharges may set off ultraviolet sparkles over large swaths of forest under storms, potentially impacting canopy health 23 February 2026 Coronae glow on the tips of spruce needles, induced by charged metal plates in a laboratory. These weak electric discharges subtly singe the tips of leaves and needles, and new observations indicate they may occur ubiquitously across treetops under thunderstorms.

12z HRRR says my call is looking a bit bullish.

I’m trying to figure out how Ray had the same amount of pack as me before last night.
-
very windy outside a few times i was pushed back...
-
Must be some good weed in Texas lol. You da man, Jeb. Windy and seasonal. Beautiful

Sounds slanty compared to what Ray had.

1.1 in Methuen..

The map above was not accurately made by Brian B. Examples: Providence and much of L.I. had 200+% of normal (pink), but this shows pink south of them. Bos is also too low. This has Charlotte ~normal vs actual of 300+%! It has GSO in NC in yellow vs actual of 200%!

Well, it should make for an interesting video day if I encounter the storms in my travels. The only thing is having a brand new car with only 1,000 miles on the ticker. I'd be bummed bad if it got any hail damage. -

Continued breezy today and tomorrow with below normal temperatures not far from 50 degrees. We briefly warm on Monday with highs well into the 60's before a strong cold front crosses the area not too long after the evening rush hour. Rain chances to ramp up tomorrow night with over an inch possible by later Monday. We could see some severe weather Monday evening. With the cold frontal passage Monday night, we could again see rain changing to wet snow with temperatures dropping over 20 degrees over a couple of hours. Tuesday and Wednesday will be unseasonably cold with highs barely above freezing on Tuesday and remaining in the 30's on Wednesday. -

47 with sun. Not even going to talk about the W word although after a dust up to the morning there is a bit of calm now.

We're lucky for the recent precipitation, rough look for sure
