Even if we don't see more snow this winter, I'm going to have a hard time grading this season below a B or B-. One more significant (6" or more)snowfall will move this winter to an A, especially given the forecasts going into it. Not sure if I'm thinking right grading it this high if we end up well below normal snowfall (which would be the case if we're done) but the past the past few weeks have been remarkable. Glad I returned from FL in time to enjoy it.

MU on the upcoming weekend: During the second half of the weekend, there has been more unwarranted "hype" in recent days regarding a potential winter storm. The odds of that actually happening are very low. Instead, a developing storm system over the southern Plains on Saturday will likely track due east through Sunday and exit into the Atlantic somewhere between South Carolina and northern Florida. Either way, that's too far south for any precipitation to reach northern MD or southern PA, and Sunday will likely just turn out partly-to-mostly cloudy and dry with highs in the 40s. Behind the system, early next week should turn out equally as nice with mostly sunny skies accompanying an even bigger moderating trend. Essentially, the weather is going to be a "snoozefest" for at least the next week, and our moderate-to-extreme drought conditions are only going to worsen.

Isn't sleet wonderful? I know it can be demoralizing when we change over, but my goodness it can do absolute wonders for a snowpack. Outside of February 2010, all of our long-lasting packs have had a lot of sleet/freezing rain embedded in it. 10" of snow with a ton of sleet will last so much longer than 24" of cold powder. We've reaped the benefit of those hours of sleet we had back on 1/25. Even with the cold temps we've had since, the ground would look far different today without that sleet.

32.0 currently at home. Seems clouds are helping mitigate much melting so far today despite the "warmer" temp.

It rained 6"+ of snow on my house, troll.

We got snow from them but it's an incredibly tenuous situation that has low probabilities. Definitely worth watching.

Someone please get this guy out of here.

You care to post the 12z ICON? Or how about the 12z GFS? Yeah...I didn't think so. Troll.

I was thinking about this yesterday- this has been the longest stretch of prolonged cold that I can remember in years. I feel like we've lived in the teens and 20s for weeks. And yet my lowest temp for the entire winter may end up as 5 degrees. Just the way it worked out with wind and clouds at night.

Just checked the Maytown Airport station. Top gust here has been 42 mph. No gusts over 40 in hours.

I don't know if it's the wind direction today or what but I am barely noticing it unless I'm near one of our west-facing windows. It seemed a good bit gustier earlier this morning.

They are; however, my wife threw the red challenge flag stating that my mind is not secure...

Took the trash out and got the mail. Tee shirt and shorts. #invigorating

Coating achieved! Very thin but cars are covered and a few tracks on the road. :)

You got wayyy more (very relative, I realize )than I did. Nothing is covered here other. Just a trace on car window trim.
