Also, glad we missed out on the freezing rain, but is there a reason the advisory is still going? We’ve been above freezing the whole time, haven’t dropped below freezing, and won’t drop below freezing.
I used to drive a 28 mile stretch of the turnpike every day at that time and my recollection of this event is that there were absolutely zero commuting issues.
Alright, give me some hope here. I need a recent year where spring arrived in early February but we flipped back to winter afterward. I feel like in recent years, once we flip to spring we either stay there or the cold comes back in late March or April after it’s far too late.
I’m not even trolling here, but the warm signal on the ensembles for this time period (at least Feb 1-5) is off the charts. I would not hold out much hope for anything that weekend.
There does seem to be a little break between the unseasonable late week warmth and the unseasonable early February warmth, both of which seem to be a sure bet at this point. Hopefully something pans out in that window.
Well said. It just sucks we couldn’t break the streak.
That said, and I said it yesterday too, I don’t think yesterday’s event was a bust. The advisory verified as a countywide average.
But to those who weren’t under the death band, yesterday will be just another day it snowed.
@Burghblizz5 years from now when the snow is long gone and the death band is long forgotten, especially by those who weren’t under it, that 2.9 in the record book is all we’ll have to remember this event by. Sorry, but that’s just a fact.
Yes, and yes. I’m not arguing bust on this event. Just saying we’re going to get unlucky on the number that actually goes in the record book, which ultimately doesn’t matter looking at my backyard.
Ultimately this event wasn’t a bust, most places are going to be in that 3-5 range. A few places lower (somehow the NWS only officially got 2.3” and our futility streak continues) and maybe a few places in the top end of that range.
