MN Transplant

That's a heck of a radar in LaCrosse, WI right now. Thundersnow and thundersleet.

The '91 Halloween Blizzard is my favorite storm of all-time. It is legendary in Minnesota and there is no debate about its ranking. Also of note on that list, the 1982 storms (#3 and #4) are back-to-back just like our 2010, and 5 of the top 9 storms were in the 1982-1985 period. For this upcoming storm, I'd love to be just north of Green Bay. Looks like they'll get hit with both components of the storm.

We rarely get good sustained southerly winds. It usually doesn’t mix down, but it has today. 53mph gust at DCA

12/5 - 1.9" 12/14 - 1.3" 1/26 - 8.5" 2/6 - 0.2" 2/22 - 3.6" 3/2 - 1.0" 3/12 - 1.5" Total - 18.0"

Sorry, it was non-accumulating after that and we’ve already gone backwards. My CoCoRahs report will be 1.5”.

The trees are caked and the irises are taking the day off.

Historic! That’s awesome.

I’m still waiting for the other 4.5” that I was promised

1.5”

32.0!! Rooftops are completely covered.

Elevated surface starting to cave. 32.9

Wet snow mixing in and out. 37.4

DCA has never recorded measurable snowfall on the same day as a 70+ temperature. Here are the top max temps with at least 0.1" recorded.

You all realize that any randos from outside the core board group might be reading this thread and think we are going to get a snowstorm today, right? 10z HRRR

Ah connective season. That means a trace of rain and thunder somewhere in the distance.

All three airports and my yard have made it to 80.

Due to all of the snow on the roads, right? Right? And you don't go from 80s to 30s without everyone's favorite - wind!

I went back through my last few years of pictures and you are right on. The crocuses and daffodils are a good two weeks behind the warm years, as are our flowering trees. The irises are a bit closer to normal.

They dropped as we went through the afternoon. Really nice now.

72.3 is my high so far. I was not prepared for the humidity.

Or late May given the temp/DP.

Fantastic. Outside of maybe a random pop-up thunderstorm, when are you ever going to see Baltimore City as the coldest spot in MD.

Everyone complains about the wind until there isn't any to mix up the boundary layer.
