Locusts and frogs

On the subject of TSA delays - My wife and I flew to Tokyo earlier this month and returned to IAD from last Sat. We were dreading the flight out and even more the return flight as IAD is notorious for long lines at immigration. On the outbound leg - we were surprised at how short the line was for Immigration and Security. We were even more surprised at how short the line was on the arrival back. We only had a few people ahead of us in the Immigration line. Likewise, Customs "inspection" was nearly non-existent. The staffing at Immigration was clearly on a reduced staff on both the outbound and return legs of the trip. However, TSA appear to be making up for things by expediting passport processing. On the return at IAD, as soon as my wife and I had our iris scans done, the Immigration officer immediately handed us our passports back and pushed us on through. From start to finish was about 20 seconds max, for both of us. In my 40+ years of flying into IAD that was by far the fastest I've ever seen Immigration process people through at IAD. I thought..., maybe we just ot lucky with the timing of our flight from Tokyo? Maybe we were in between the big "pushes" as the airlines call the ebb and flow if flights. That's possible. However, our flight was packed and there were a lot of people from other flights at the baggage carousals indicating Immigration was still processing a lot of people through. No doubt this is no consolation for all the nightmare stories we're seeing of airport lines around the country. And again, maybe we just got lucky.

I concur that it only takes one for a very bad season, it's just a matter of when in seeing a strong cane here in the northeast.

My better half and her kids just needed two and a half hours to get through security at BWI - they got in line at 1: 15 and just now cleared. Luckily, they went way early for their 5:30 flight - glad they did.

I didn’t take it for trolling at all.

I'm going next month. Never been

But then there's next Fridays forecast. Back down into the 40's... Thursday Night Showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 38. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Friday A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 48. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

Although, none of them we're detected, there was several strokes of lightning very close to my home over the course of a couple minutes last night. I believe that little area of deeper convection may have been the difference maker.

I finally got myself some rain gauges. I did quite well for this. My wor buckets, debris cans , rain gages and nws estimated storm total all align. Well over 1" here for me.

Flowers starting to bloom here. Crocuses a week or so ago. Spring is here.

D- here. Under 40% of climo snow. Only reason it's not an F is because it was cold. And the one storm we did get our here stuck around for a month.

McLean, VA Winter Rating: B Reasoning: McLean got exceptionally lucky with a local jackzone on multiple occasions this winter, allowing me to nickel and dime to climo. The snow/sleetfall from late-January stayed for a long, long time due to the severe cold in late-Jan to early-Feb, really helping this winter's case. There were lots of late nights just to see potential wasted for the DMV. March 12th's suprise snow saved this from being a B-.

Wait until you miss your first HECS. You’ll feel differently.

MU Weather adds this: (an actual preview of summer as we transition from March to April) A well-defined warm front will move through the Commonwealth from southwest-to-northeast Monday night and be accompanied by a few showers. Behind it, temperatures will likely be "off to the races" on Tuesday and Wednesday and soar back into the upper 70s to perhaps mid 80s. Record high temperatures on the last day of March and first day of April are generally in the low-to-mid 80s, so they may be challenged during the middle of next week with enough sunshine. Overnight lows will also be ridiculously high for this time of the year (50s/60s) and more typical of June. Temperature departures on Tuesday/Wednesday will be 20-25°F above normal.

44 here under a cloudy sky.

currently on my flight back home from san diego. cant fathom not being in southern california weather. gonna miss the fall and some of winter but moving back to sd cant come soon enough. i seriously felt myself come back to life out here

Hope cherry picked from the nws forecast discussion . As we head into next week, all model signals point to aresurgence of Spring warmth to close out the month and kick off April. An anomalous ridge of high pressure will shift from the western US to the east coast and bring a prolonged stretch of southwesterly flow. This will support temperatures in the 60s and 70s for the middle of next week. As the western US ridge is replaced by a deep trough, severe weather chances will increase across the Plains. This will lead to a resurgence of moisture and a fairly active/rainy/stormy pattern in the Ohio Valley and Mid Atlantic through Easter weekend. Warm & wet looks like the theme for Central PA for the first couple weeks of April. Spring growth should commence with haste over the next few weeks.

52 and cloudy here Taking the little one for a stroll.

WTF.... It's only 38 in my Tamaqua backyard. Do we HAVE to get THIS cold the day after a 70+ reading? I'd be ok with 48-52, but really...

Got just the email that my golf course is opening March 30th. Let’s go!!

Euro AI also likes it

we next weekend.. timing a bit different but we take!

No line here. Much more worried about Atlanta on Sunday morning

I'll go with a solid B for Baltimore County (north). The snow/sleet bomb and impressive cold afterwards saved the season and the overall grade given the impact that storm had across our region. Missing the NYC Blizzard dropped this from an A- right on through the B+ to arrive at the B. Solidifying the B was the fun we had with the "FOLKS" and the PBP when it counted - that was fun.
