I have already started celery, eggplants, peppers and shallots. Peas went in the ground last weekend. Brassicas will get started early March. And everything else late March. I love this time of year. Gardening while the snow can still fall.

I didnt see Matt had started the garden thread already. I posted this in the banter thread. I will copy it here as well: I dont how many are gardeners in here. But the USDA updated their zone maps this year. I was moved into a warmer zone here. I was moved from a 6B to a 7A. That is a pretty major difference in planting schedule. And basically ends their thoughts of me getting frosts here into mid May. I was actually kind of shocked. Because we had a really cold spring last year. And I had my last frost on May 7th. Type your zip code into this map and you can see what the temperature change for your area has been since 2012. Mine was 4 degrees. https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/

I am almost 60% of climo. With 5 weeks of good chances left here. I am not gonna complain about that.

That is unbelievable. I am like 10 miles NW of you have double that amount so far this winter. You shouldnt have moved back

Done out here NW of Winchester. Just under 3 inches here. Enjoy everyone to the east.

Yeah I busted. Living in a world covered in mashed potatoes.

RGEM is still out. So is the ICON by the way.

From weatherwiz up there. Frikin hilarious.

Cant really blame them. It is supposed to snow there in the winter.

It's 43/43 here right now brother. I am as big of a weenie as there is here when an event warrants it. Maybe I will bust. But I am not feeling this one.

Snow depth with those temps is probably about as accurate as you are gonna get. If you prefer the Kuchera it isnt a whole lot better. The airmass is marginal to say the least.

We got deNAM'd

HRRR starting to get a clue at this point:

Yeah. Its even more ridiculous.

Where is the cold air coming from?

My bad. Winchester city is closed. No the county yet. Just saw the alert and assumed.

Frederick County, VA schools already closed. Ridiculous.

Probably a pretty smart call for just about everyone under 750' imo.

Those soundings in Jersey! BOOM.

Its not as juiced up as the HRRR. But its still nice.

Even the snow depth map would be acceptable in my eyes.

18Z HRRR is a thing of beauty. I am buried.

Beautiful
