Drier conditions correlates to less mosquitoes, so there's that.

I wish we had more video, I thought it was a merge due to the work zone but it isn't. Looks like the dark car might have merged into the lane just before it comes into view and the white car wasn't having it and tried to speed around the dark car. Same result though and I'm even more flabbergast at the work zone itself. Why isn't that lane closed off with cones? In my previous state they would have at least two lanes closed down for work like this.

The speeding says it all. Dark car wasn't going to let the other car in no matter what, the white car was determined to pass the dark car no matter what, and road rage set in for both. See it all the time though with far less consequences. I'd say throw the book at both of them, but whoever was doing the work should get some culpability out of this as well. You're supposed to make it foolproof safe for those workers to work and there should have had much better barriers in place. I may be mistaken, but I think the opening to a work zone like this is supposed to be on the far side where you have to back into the work zone rather than pull into it.

That's a tight gradient, I'm at 56 in Towson.

First thunder boomer of the year rolling through Towson.

Another cold March day. After 12 days of March, it looks like the average temperature and average high temperature is lower than all of February this year. Looking at the long range temp guidance, is it within the realm of possibility for March to actually be colder than February this year and how often does that happen?

Getting some light bonus pingers in Towson. 42 degrees.

May I suggest no storm thread either. A new LR thread can be created just as easily.

This is my fourth year in the area, and while not a large sample, I have found Fall here to be (much) warmer than I expected and Spring to be cooler than I expected. I have to remind myself all through April not to plant the tomatoes that are suspiciously well stocked at the big box stores.

Are there other mid/long term trends outside ENSO that could eventually swing the other way and bring us back to periodic sub 35 winters, or are we doomed to +35 winters from here on out?

Is it finally safe to purchase an ice scraper?

If someone can just tell me when it's safe again to buy an ice scraper I'll be satisfied.

Light sleet mixed with a few mood flakes in Towson.

Well, you can't blame me. I've been driving around this entire winter without an ice scraper.

Still just above freezing imby, looks like we'll mostly dry out before the freeze takes hold here. Just a few mood flakes over the past hour, still puts me on the board!

Heavy line of rain went through my area of Towson about 15 mins ago, seems to have been some sleet mixed that has accumulated on cars, nothing on the ground. 41 now with light rain.

Blast furnace in Towson, 53 and light rain.

No fight, but there is a Mid Atlantic forum and a Philadelphia forum. That's the point.

Loving the snow pics this morning. There should be no regerts for those of us closer to the coast. This is not an event we are missing out on specifically because we are in the Mid Atlantic, this rain event extends all the way up to New Brunswick.

My FB feed today was full of memories of snow in 2020, apparently we had a few inches that year. That's all I want this year. I feel like my expectations aren't out of line.

Try again. Towson a few mins ago.

Seems to be winding down a bit in the Towson area. I would say about 2" IMBY.- Roads never caved but still a pretty scene. Next question will be whether paved areas will have time to dry out or if they will ice over with the falling temps.

I've thoroughly enjoyed lurking in this forum this year. I have nothing weather-wise to add, only to say that tomorrow happens to be International Fanny Pack Day (look it up), so if the title of this thread needs to be updated, might I suggest the International Fanny Pack Day Miracle Event of Epic (for March in a La Nina anyway) Proportions.

Question from the peanut gallery - If almost every storm like this in the history of storms like this has gone east of the models more than a few days out, why don't the models account for this?
