the cold and wind not so much....

many days in the 40s with sunshine is just fine.

we have too much uncontrolled growth that needs to be removed. We never had these kinds of fires in 2002 the last dry year we had. It's been abnormally wet for decades now and that overgrowth needs to be chopped down and removed. I think we are regressing back to a more normal rainfall pattern for us which is 40 inches per year and under 4 inches per month.

Looks like we will be 45+ for many days in a row, any cold will be brief.

My favorite kind of snow is this, where no shoveling is involved at all, it's a very cold and dry snow and the wind just blows it to the side lol. Did I tell you I never had to shovel in our last big snowstorm here, January 2022? A foot of snow fell but the wind blew it off my car and out of my driveway and no shoveling at all was needed!

the eastern part of that dark green band is right over me now !

what time did it start out by you? it was so frustrating seeing it snowing on radar here, 4 pm, 5 pm, 5:30 pm, etc, and even seeing it snowing on webcams in Manhattan as early as 4 pm but the snow didn't make it down to the ground here until after 6 pm. But been snowing nicely since then and sticking to everything and it's very windy too.

plowing the salt bro

It took a long time to move east into Long Island, but glad it finally did. Our roads are covered with snow plus it's windy outside. Didn't see snow here until after sunset even though radar returns showed snow here at 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, etc., it must have been virga earlier.

Don how much snow did Norfolk get in 09-10? Those 2 years back to back were their last snowy period. Maybe this year is the start of another snowy period for them (and eventually for us)?

I was just going to say, the sun is still out here lol

1992 and 2017 stand out, most people know what happened in March 2017 and we discussed March 1992 before, it was a mostly snowless winter with two events near the beginning of springtime. March 1980 makes the cut too, but it had a smaller event.

1966 was a summer like this, as were 1993 and 1999 and 2002, more recently so was 2010. Not the high dew point summers of the 2020s ick.

it has to be dry and then cool at night, which is great for sleeping. Hot and dry during the day makes you feel extra energized and then cool at night is great for deep sleep

January 2018 was both much colder and snowier here actually.

the dryness is a national pattern too, I foresee more warm and dry and hot and dry because the prevailing wind direction has been westerly for many months now, we have had two historically dry months here (October and January) and one month with zero precip (October)

Is this something where it could dry up as it comes east of the mountains? I've seen that scenario plenty of times.

Do these models come with a margin of error? I'm serious, is it like 0.5-1 inch plus or minus 0.5 inch?

I heard he's been abusive with some people too.

even worse than JB, especially with his attitude

That April storm was my favorite.

its good for now, but when we get to summer I love higher temps during the day and lower temps at night. the predominantly westerly wind will help accomplish that

transient cold only? That's what Lee Goldberg was saying last night, he said the big pattern change starting next week is that we will go from the arctic cold of winter to springtime transient cold shots only

I remember spring break was awesome right at home in March 1990 everyone was wearing Bermuda shorts in the middle of the month with temperatures between 85-88 for 3-4 days in a row! I wonder if we'll get that this March? But then in early April winter came back for one last whimper and we had a 1-2 inch snow event.

yes this forum would have exploded if we had a month like December 1989 lol. I was 16 years old at the time and they were still forecasting 6-8 inches of snow on the late night news while it was raining and thundering here lol. I was so angry I slammed my portable radio into the TV and broke both lol (they were both making the same snowy forecast.) It was the second 6-8 inch bust that year, we also had the virga storm bust in February 1989 when I took a day off from school to enjoy the snow and nothing fell, not even a flake lol.
