GFS now essentially has moved completely south of the M/D line.

8.8" for the "main event" - that's what I was looking for, thank you! Based on everything that I was reading while I was away I went with 8" for the storm. Assuming that I might have done a wee bit better I might adjust up to 9".

I wasn't sure if I should laugh or thank you for this so I did neither. You know, I'm guilty of assuming our average is a bit higher than those numbers. In my head I consider average around 30" because i think that's what it used to be. I've got incomplete data this winter due to me being in Florida in January - what did you record for your total for that event?

Yes sir. If no more snow fell here, I'd grade this winter as a B. Just can't give it more than that when finishing below normal snowfall. Temp grades out at an A, snow cover grades an A, but total snowfall right now is a C-. That averages out to a solid B. One more significant (4"+) snow moves me up to a B+ and anything over 6" probably moves this to at least an A-. Now...comparing the reality of this winter vs expectations going in? It's already easily an A. No way did I foresee weeks of continuous snow cover this year.

GFS has been moving south on every run over the past 2 days with Monday's system. That trend needs to stop. As is, warning level snows are confined to south of the turnpike.

I think early next week looks pretty darn good for something wintry. Details are days away from being figured out.

Especially if you're south of the track.

I mentioned yesterday that Elliott seemed interested in Monday. He is, but he's also insisting that it will be a light to possibly moderate event. GFS snow maps are way overdone. We shall see!

Fortunately, NYC cashed in a bit and got an inch or two on top of the 2' they got on Monday.

As expected, no snow fell overnight. Low was 25 but it's already up to 34.

It took 18" of snow/sleet together to keep a solid snow cover for a full week after 3/13/1993. If it wasn't for all of that sleet it would have been gone in 2-3 days.

The "snow hater" met from a local university seems completely out for Thursday but does seem interested in early next week. Interesting.

High is in the perfect location for Monday's potential event. We'll need that look to hold to get what we want. Precarious situation with that but at least we're not worried about a redeveloper type of thing.

My Orioles and Phillies tickets were uploaded to my MLB Ballpark App last week. Let's go! We better enjoy this season...

Yep, and that was my point. Despite it being a dark, overcast day yesterday, there was enough solar radiation to do it's damage on my snow cover. When the sun angle is lowest the radiation is really mitigated. That's why I covet holiday snow...it coincides with the best staying power season.
