Nice balmy 70F in Lubbock TX. we nape.

Winter is not over yet IMO - enjoy the next couple of weeks of moderating temps over all - BUT the Polar Vortex split is going to cause winter to return and all that arctic air in Canada to return during the second half of March and maybe into April and I would bet there are at least a couple of snowstorms left in this winter in the Metro

Based on the Euro weeklies, March is highly doubtful. Gonna have to hope for an April surprise.

Eyeballing snow from pics is tough but if you want to guesstimate that’s 6 inches on the table that’s fair, but please remember that pic is at 2pm and preceding a 4 hour period of easy 1-2 inches an hour snow. That’s the period that shut down every road on the mountain. Again- being there for the storm it was easily over a foot. Really incredible stuff. But also- to your point- wind went crazy that evening/night leading to big drifts like what I showed in the above pic so you have that factor too. I was a member of this board for years under that old username. Long time reader. Hope folks found this interesting. It’s not a giant conspiracy theory…to accomplish what I don’t know. Just a big snowstorm at the top of a mountain. And it was awesome to experience.

I just love March up north, hoping they get a good dump. I haven’t been in the trees at all this season as my son has picked up skiing in earnest and I have been hanging with him this season, he’s not quite ready for glades yet..

I've read things linking the two.

I don't think there would be too many who disagree with you. Go big or go home.

March looks wet as hell gone need the mud boots

I played pickup last week at the Baymen Fields in Sayville. We had enough space to have a nice 7v7 game with Pop-up nets. But, then again, we are sickos. Another week of this (and rain) and I’m guessing we’re playing next Saturday again.

Euro op has some interest too.

I really would have but let's not forget I was still around for it, albeit suckling on my mother's teet. Speaking of whom, I asked her if she remembers that event and she did not but said she would check through some old photos. We lived in Mount Joy Borough at the time (I haven't made it far ha) so they should have had a nice hit there. I'm waiting to hear back from my dad but doubt he cared to remember ha. I think sometimes we forget just how little most of the population really cares about weather. Sometimes I'll mention what I think is something cool about weather to someone and they'll just look at me like, "yeah sure thing pal". It's really unhealthy the disdain I'm starting to feel for this man haha.

Agreed. Not to mention the December snow melted in three days, majority of the first half of winter was bare ground and the holidays were on the mild side. No question it was a second half winter thus can't get an A+

Monday was the better shot at snow. The ceiling for Tuesday is much lower and the duration, much shorter. But we might be finally setting up for a rainy period.

yeah see those categories on AWSSI are influenced by cold as well, and to me really cold weather doesn't have any appeal, I am more for the snowfall/big storms.

I would if I could. Just have a lot going on in March and don't think I'll have a lot of free time.

Pack from Jan 25th through Feb 28th+ must be some kind of record here on the Cape. 2015 was great but had a few skunkers in early February iirc. And as historic as 2005 was , I'm not sure we accomplished that. So it has been at least 21 years.

Remember... the new type of convective outlooks come out starting next week. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/conditional-intensity-information/

Kind of all alone in that regard, no?

It started chilly this morning and the airmass starts fairly seasonable and we're still going to tickle 50 today and possibly eclipse it tomorrow under full sun. That's late February for you. It almost always feels warmer than expected this time of year when the calendar still reads winter but we've forgotten how warm this time of year actually feels in sunshine.

I haven’t had a chance to get to the area that got 24”+ from the blizzard but the sun really starts doing a number on it this time of the year plus daily highs above freezing plus initial compaction. When I came home on Wed and saw what was on the ground I was a little disappointed-like you said there was 3” more snow just that morning. It looked similar to what we had after 1/25 maybe a little deeper.

Hopefully it’s too suppressed up there like it has been often this winter.

I prefer a cold March ala March 1960 or March 2018. And a summer like 1816 would be amazing.

Looking over recent guidance, while the chances of a significant snow here appear to be waning, even if the Monday snow stays to our south (not entirely certain), there is some growing consensus that a modest slug of moisture will approach from the southwest late Monday night. While temperatures will be warming during Tuesday, it appears likely at this time that it will be well below freezing for the Tuesday morning rush hour, so a fairly high-impact event (even if amounts of snow or freezing rain are modest) is still on the table.

The next couple weeks could be interesting up my way. Most of which comes in the 2nd week of March.
