Low of 30 and yesterday morning's low was actually 23. We've had full April sun the last couple days and still busted low on high temps, not something we see very often. Impressive. Going to get my first mow in after work today, assuming the mower starts ha. -

Good stuff! Park City Mall usually has massive piles but can't say I've thought to look any of the times I've been by there. -

Impressive cold, as temp was 24 when I left the house. Also, my temp Tuesday morning dropped another two degrees to 39 after I left the house. Great early spring week this week. It’s beyond me how anyone could be amped about near-90 temps in April ha. -

Temp was 41 and dropping when I left the house. Had beautiful clear tequila sunrise skies just to my east and a thick cloud deck just to my west. A couple chilly ones ahead and then what could be a spectacular weekend. Carry on. -

Low of 49. Should get a nice little soaking this morning before we head out to an afternoon Easter gathering with the kids. -

That’s amazing. It also aligns with what my buddy who lives in Bethel has been telling me all winter, that it’s been relentless and brutal. In fact, he said some of the Natives who’ve lived there their entire lives told him it’s been the roughest winter they can ever remember. Wild. -

I agree, but I also feel like we have plenty of them haha. -

You got me good, as .21" fell here. I'm also at 47. I knew when I saw your post last night that you had .16" that you'd likely top me because I had basically zero at that point ha. -

63 when I left the house with no rain. We’ll see what today brings. The train is a callin’. -

Well, it won't be much of a prognostication with only one day left in the month haha, but ask and you shall receive. I'll say we end the month ~4 degrees AN, with a mean temp of 45.9 -- good for 15th place all-time, tied with 1977. Book it. I will try and start doing it again towards the end of every month. Been busy, but you're right, I need to keep that crystal ball clean. -

Never heard of either of these places -- national high of 101 at Cibola, AZ and low of 7 at Saint Mary, MT. 7-day precip map shows the contrast from SE to NW across the state. -

Low of 60. Warm days ahead. Tomorrow’s max min record of 61 could fall. Not seeing much evidence of rain for today down this way but things should liven up a bit tomorrow. Our youngest turns 4 tomorrow. The time, it is a flyin’. -

Lows of 42 and 30 last night and Saturday night, respectively. Might be a good week to throw down some grass seed. -

This is fair, and as you've said, it's all subjective. I would go a bit higher though. I believe you've talked before about grading on the "how often does it look and feel like winter" scale, which I completely agree with, and for me this winter just looked and felt a lot like what winter is supposed to be. Even going back to some of the cold around the Thanksgiving time period and then the relentless cold through the first half of December and again from mid-January through mid-February. The staying power of the snowpack during that stretch was something to behold, plus a number of days where snow was at least in the air. While I agree my 22.3" of snow was nothing overly impressive, it just felt like more, and given expectations and some recent winters, I was pleased. Now, is it fair to grade on that type of curve? Probably not but everything is relative. You are right that March has been mostly a dud but there have still been some very potent cold fronts that have brought about some cool events and it hasn't lacked for feeling like March, despite the positive temp anomaly (some of that may have to do with those aforementioned midnight highs distorting our daily summaries ha). In any case, I thought it was a rock-solid winter pretty much from start to finish -- one I would sign up for again next year if I could right now -- and for that reason I'm going with a B+. Great discussion. -

Snow is beautiful. March in PA is crazy. We are like 4 degrees above average with mean temperature this March. Try to roll with the punches and enjoy it. -
