Looks like a couple dangerous days in the Deep South tomorrow and Wednesday

Like freaking clockwork we trend to a great blocking pattern and -NAO heading into April…. Some of the storms showing up on models are east coast crawlers. At least we should get plenty of rain before summer

I don’t see any real sign of an extended spring torch. Kinda just mild (average) with some shots of rain thrown in. Great spring weather overall

2.19” storm total

Loud boomers for over an hour this morning. A lot of the spring mulch I had put out earlier this week was washed into my driveway. Must’ve been a gully washer 3-4 am

Right at 2” now and really coming down this morning. Going to be a fun drive to work

Just over a half an inch here so far. Some places near southern pines have over 4” per RadarScope.

I think a lot of it fell early in the season before the heart of winter there. They were incredibly dry most of the winter. My dad skied vail in January and they hadn’t had snow in 3 weeks but it never cracked 20 the week he was there

When I took off in Miami yesterday it was 91. I landed in RDU to 35 degrees and woke up to 22 this morning. Almost a 70 degree change in 24 hours for me!

Pretty impressive storm

Low of 22.4 this morning. Ground froze solid overnight. Looks like one more freeze tonight then a long time before we approach 32. I would assume the next frost/freeze after tonight’s will likely carry advisories with it

Models at a minimum say were in for a wild weather day tomorrow. Severe then possibly a change to snow!

I’m in Cudjoe Key for the week and can verify it is much warmer and more humid than back home right now!

I love all these social media posts from last week about all this pattern change this, pattern change that, cold, record cold, it’s gonna hurt, get ready for winter, polar vortex, blah blah blah for what in actuality looks to be a two day cool down with highs in the 50’s lows in the 20’s which isn’t even abnormal for mid March. Literally a lot of time wasted hyping up a very meaningless in the grand scheme of things cool down, and one every person who has ever lived through a March should expect. Sorry, just got a chuckle out of some of the Twitter posts from last week

63.7 at 9 am… going to be a gorgeous day

Spring has sprung in my neck of the woods. Trees are budding out. Daffodils are in full bloom. I see no frosts/freezes in the near future. Should set us up perfectly for damaging freezes in April…

Looks like this weekend will be absolutely beautiful. Needed that after a string of cold/rainy weekends

Our friend the SE ridge makes a serious comeback to start the month. Looks quite warm through mid month. Enjoy!

Picked up 0.27” between last night and today and somewhat surprised it was that much. Brings February to a paltry 1.57” and that will be it for the month. High of 47 today and sitting at the low currently of 38.6

Our biggest snow since December 2018 and a good month of solid cold helped. I enjoyed our snowstorm, arctic cold throughout, no mixing, and accumulation from start to finish plus a precursor snow the night before. Losing 2 of our 3 winter months with no threats and above average temps definitely sucks but we need to enjoy the storms we get and I enjoyed that one

Feels wedgy out there for sure

Winter 2004-2005 was the biggest shaft I can remember us receiving. Pretty much all of January storms went around the triangle in every direction and we got completely fringed by the day after Christmas snow. I remember losing my mind after about the 5th or 6th near miss. We did have the “surprise” snow that gridlocked the entire city that season but I don’t think we picked up over an inch from any event that season even though we were under an advisory or warning what felt like every week for a month

Managed just 0.07” here. 1.30” MTD

I think we’re far from oyster mushrooms here! Sitting at a paltry 1.26” after todays 0.03” gulley washer

Coming out of January I was very ready to give this winter a solid B grade but while January was a B+, A- in my opinion December and February have been a F and a D respectively. Overall I’d have to say that gives this winter a C- or just above passing. Like others have said, it’s over. The progressive nightmare isn’t going away due to the Atlantic even with a friendly Pacific since December and we’re just getting warmer. Onto spring and severe tracking
