Normal temps this time of year are fantastic with the late March into April sun. I’ll gladly take that right now. I’m ready for spring (NOT SUMMER). I have my limits 

Amen!!  I'm fine with 60s to 70s or so right now, but mid-upper 80s?  Not yet, please!!!  We'll have plenty of days (weeks!!) with oppressive heat in the 90s-plus and high humidity, that's a guarantee.  Days where you feel like you'll just wilt or melt as soon as the sun hits you!

I remember all too well the late spring and summer days when I was at Florida State University for grad school.  Now THAT is oppressive, day in and day out with no break!  It was always a sad day when that last cold front would go through north Florida sometime in early May...you knew there wouldn't be another one to bring in more refreshing air until nearly October!!

I need to change my screen name since I’m moving out of Prince Frederick, but it says I can only change it once every 30,000 days. Can anyone help me? 

Not sure if you changed it once already, but yeah, there's some ridiculous amount of time to then change it yet again on one's own I believe (it's possible to do it once, basically, on your own).  So I'm guessing that you had changed it sometime awhile back, thus got the "30,000 day" denial or something like that when you tried again more recently.  I'm sure perhaps a mod would be able to go in there and change something to let you do it again.

ETA:  I'm tempted to suggest that you change your name to "The User formerly known as Prince[FredericWx]"!!

Gentelmen and Ladies,

It's been a pleasure to track with you guys.  We've had good times, bad times and Houston times.   I love this forum.  We truly are the best subforum here.   It's been an honor tracking our digital blue. But now has come to the time to admit defeat.  It's over.  We move to spring and I move to my hibernation until something big happens around here.   It's been fun, but kind of lackluster outside of snowcrete.   We'll get 'em next year.   Peace out and RIP Roger Smith.

Driving the bus into the sunset.   Until next time nerds.

And thank you for keeping the faith, for the fun PBP (guys, folks...jaws!!) and commentary, and of course for being a Beethoven music lover!  Until next winter then!

LOL, by then you may be in the bullseye there!  You can find an Irish Pub in Charlotte to toast the St. Pat's Day storm!!

An interesting thing about March 2012 was actually how cold it was in the N. Hemisphere

I recall almost hitting 90F that month

Interesting.  Looks like most of the cold was on the other side of the hemisphere, as well as that strip of colder across northern Canada and AK.  I would imagine given that distribution, a huge and persistent ridge over the eastern half to 2/3 of North America and another over much of Europe/Scandinavia (though not as warm there).

It's kind of reminiscent of how warm December 2015 was here (similar warm departure).  I'm just grateful we got those large departures in December and March, and not a +9 in July!!!

I feel like we've been tracking this warmup forever. NWS has DC hitting 83F on Wednesday! While it's still technically Winter! 

Well, I recall March 2012 was insanely warm (+9 departure at DCA for the month), DCA hit 80+ degrees four times.  Only two nighttime lows at or below freezing, the rest were well above.  The cherry blossoms were essentially finished blooming by St. Patrick's Day since they came out very early.  I believe that was an extremely warm month for much of the eastern third of the country.

(ETA:  In fact, I remember seeing that some location in upper Michigan had a low temperature one day that was a few degrees warmer than the previous record HIGH for that particular date; it also of course broke a new record high).

I'm not opposed to it. There are some things to like about the LW pattern on the ens means. I posted about it yesterday. Op run snow maps tho.. 

I know, its what the kids like. (and Will)

Yeah I figured. NBD. Just odd. I'll post my grade here when Winter is actually over lol

You mean it isn't already?!  But seriously, yeah, we've got through mid-March typically and some years even longer.  Wouldn't be surprised if we get even something small before it's over.

It’s happening. 

Even if it does happen, I still wouldn't ever vote for Ron Paul or Rand Paul...However, RuPaul may be more entertaining!!! 

Concerning any potential last snow event around mid-month/St. Pat's Day...

I think you are suffering from weather related Tourette’s syndrome. I know what that is because I shouted fuck the NAM at church last Sunday.  

Be sure to say three "Hail DGEXs" and douse yourself in sleet as penance!

We truly might be out of gas and time.   We’ve had miracles in less lead times tho.  I’m arranging the deck trains and playing my violin.  If we go down, might as well go down with glory.   Let’s bring whatever this is home.

I was about to roast him, but I just let it go.   It's like there are no examples of where it was 70 before a major snowstorm and the snow stuck just fine.

Yup.  There were some pretty warm days the week leading into the St. Patrick's Day storm in 2014, and that was 2 weeks later too.  Yeah a lot of that fell at night but it started in the afternoon and continued into early the next day.  Plus, it was below freezing the entire following day.  Not to mention the event on the 1st day of spring 2018, it was cool leading into it (below normal) but not extreme, it was the 3rd week of March, and that snow all fell during the daylight hours.  And of course, March 2015 (same approximate time as this upcoming potential, 1st week of the month), where it rained the night before up to the morning of the event as a front went through, then a wave that went up the front dumped 6" snow on us...again, during the daylight hours as it turned colder.

Need some reverse psychology rev here.

Why did you make this stupid thread? Don’t you know it’s a waste of time and going to be rain or 1” slush. We aren’t here to track storms man. Time to fire off our riffles yehaaaa!

Thank you revwar's reincarnation. You know 20 years ago this woulda been an 8" storm regardless of track btw.
