Itstrainingtime

You'd think at some point he might feel just a wee bit humbled...not DT! It already feels really good in the sun this morning.

DT calling people stupid... Virginia had a snowstorm last week. Interestingly, I was following along in the Richmond-specific thread and the posters were sharing what the local forecasters were calling for...most were in the 3-6" ballpark for Richmond proper. DT was calling for 9-12" and was calling out the local forecasters for their "lack of understanding of what was about to happen." Richmond's final official tally: 4"

Hopefully, AI is the answer.

Interesting (at least to me) temp fluctuations this evening here: 9:30PM: 45.3 9:40PM: 39.9 9:50PM: 42.7

57 was my high temp today as well. Going to finish today with a double digit AN departure.

My friend, that one is totally lost on me. Was this person specific to our area?

Now I'm really confused, I thought all along that we had snow from Friday overnight into Saturday. I was convinced today that I was off one day, now you're sort of confirming my initial memory was correct. And you also confirmed it came in multiple pieces.

We were reminiscing about past posters in our thread - you were one of just a few that came up...probably because you were missed the most.

Note: His "one more period of chilly conditions" in the time frame he mentioned above is after a 2 day blast of cold air on March 2nd and 3rd, which I did not include in the above snippet.

Here's what Elliott has to say about the March 7th to 11th time frame: High-latitude blocking over Greenland, Iceland and northeastern Canada has vanished and won't return for several weeks or more. There may be one more period of "chilly" conditions between March 7-11 before a major warmup during the middle of the month. In fact, we may see a sudden onset of Spring with persistently.. and perhaps well-above.. normal temperatures during the 3rd and/or 4th weeks of the month. Signs point toward the return of a deep trough over western North America and anomalous, upper-level ridge over the eastern half of the continent. Snow-lovers will have to count on the March 7-11 period for one more accumulating snowfall. Thereafter, the odds of measurable snow will likely hit "rock bottom" and essentially be "nil" until next winter. Even in that 5-day window, any snowstorm would probably have to be of the "thread-the-needle" variety and occur at night.

This is in all likelihood the last "real" opportunity of the season. We can say "no way, no how, no chance, etc." and likely be right, or we can say "why not? It's something to at least track and watch for over the coming days." It's a long time until we track again. Might as well stay invested while we can.

Yes - I was able to confirm after reading @sauss06 and your posts that I was a day off - I thought it was a Saturday/Sunday deal but it didn't start until Sunday. I had a few hours of mixed precip Sunday night before winding down as all snow on Monday. Our daughter was 17 months old and I just found a picture of her sitting at our patio door with the snow towering above her in the background as it had drifted several feet high against the door.

Interesting, thank you for that. I really do need to check my book when I get home. Now that you mention it I think I might have had sleet as well. And maybe that's my memory of the storm being disjointed. I will say that for whatever reason, my memory of that storm isn't nearly as sharp as storms that came years before that. I have very vivid memories going all the way back to Feb. 1983. I do remember the Blizzard of 1978 but the details are fuzzy. Of all of our big snowstorms since 1978 my recollection of 2003 is the worst. No idea why that is.

New Jersey centric, but I always enjoy referring to this website: https://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/2003/17-Feb-03.html

I clearly remember the storm being disjointed in some way. It was not a wall to wall continuous snowstorm. It definitely had 2 parts. I need to go read Raymond Martin's synopsis.

I indirectly mentioned this last week - there was a day when it seemed like everything had flipped towards a "springlike feel." Doesn't mean winter's done, but as you said...it became obvious one day last week that the inevitable was coming soon.

Thanks for this Jon. I need to check my own data when I get home. I sort of think that I had at least some snow on Saturday as well - the storm was a 2 part deal and part 1 was mainly south of us. I guess it's possible that I caught a little of wave 1 that might have missed you before the motherload came starting Sunday morning. I want clarity on this!

President's day storm 2003 was awesome - I measured 28" in Elizabethtown making it my 3rd biggest snow in my lifetime, trailing 1996 and 2016. Snowed the entire weekend. 55 was my high yesterday. This morning is the first morning on 2025 that I came to work with no jacket at all. This cold weather fan isn't complaining too much...

I don't know what to say...that's just beautiful.

Thank you. I went against what I always do when I'm around other people. I learned (very painfully) years ago that jokes tend to hurt others while humor is often self-inflicted. I have zero problems making fun of myself. None. In fact, I think that most who sit in my development classes respect me because of that. I like to make myself small in order to make others feel big. "A Day In The Life" is sort of a departure of that - although I typically make fun of myself as well. 25 was my morning low.

It's my fault.

Sunshine and 33 at 11:30am. Feels good outside. All eyes on the first week or so in March. Let's pull this one in.

If Philly gets less than 0.8" of snow for the remainder of the season they will finish behind Pensacola FL.

GFS is uninspiring through it's entire run this morning. Big east coast low to close out the first week of March that slips east of us but would have likely been a rainer anyway. There is no one talking about LR threats in the MA sub either. I think partly because a lot of people are jaded by this week's epic miss and well...there just isn't much looking forward to see.

Circling back to this post from yesterday - I'm not ready to let go of winter just yet. Although...my forecast for next week includes at least 4 days with highs at or above 50. Can't say I'm not looking forward to that.
