Keep fighting Blizz! 

Low of 47 and .03” of rain. A nice warm weekend ahead. Should feel nice though with the mix of clouds and breezes.

Thanks, something seemed off with how cold the rest of our region was this Winter.

No problem.  But what @Itstrainingtime said about MDT being noticeably cooler this particular season than surrounding areas was also true and certainly played a role this season.  We'll have to see if that's a discrepancy that plays out again in future years or was more of a one-time deal.

I think MDT hits 82 Saturday. Bot sure the record high but it has to be close. 

86 from 1945 is the number to beat.  Tough.

They made a good call on the snow, but we just missed out on a few events that could have padded the stats. There was plenty of cold air around this year, but the lack of moisture continued to be an issue.

MDT finished -2.2 in average temps for Met Winter. The coldest Met Winter in 10 years.

Lol, MU must be located on a heat island similar to where you & @canderson live. How the heck did MU finish above normal in December & February?

Always remember, MDT compares monthly means to the most recent 30-year climate normal period, whereas MU compares against its entire period of record, leading to MU always having more positive extreme departures.  It's as simple as not being an apples-to-apples comparison. 

Low of 37.  The MJS crystal ball says we finish the month with a mean temp of 47.7, good for a tie with 2020 for the 6th warmest all-time.  Book it.

Low of 26 here.

Low of 41 when I left the house. 

Low of 44. Solid week on tap with just enough chill in the air to remind us we’re still in March. 

Happy Monday, all.  Low of 39 with .05" of rain.  I dropped to 28 Saturday night.

Rain here seems lighter than radar would suggest. I was just under reds and oranges and it was barely moderate intensity. 

Yeah it was. I was expecting more in the gauge but as it stands .24” and a low of 35. Heading to Philly tomorrow for the NCAA wrestling championships. Penn State first team in history to send guys from all ten weights to the quarterfinals. 

36 when I left the house. Without having checked any models, and understanding such an event is extremely unlikely, it would be quite a fitting way for this winter to put a bow on the season by hammering people with an April Fools snowstorm. Why not ha. 

Low of 30. Chilly out there this morning with the breeze blowing. I was underdressed waiting for the train with just a light spring jacket. 

Current temp of 47 is the low.  Only .42" of total pecip here.  Man, those southerly winds were screaming yesterday, had a few friends commenting on just how strong they were and sharing pics of damage.  "Opposite" winds can always wreak a special kind of havoc.

I don't have a weather station but I am going to buy the approved gauge for $42. If anyone knows a cheaper approved gauge please post. I think it would be great if we could get 2-4 new approved locations for this.

I’ve been using this gauge for a decade, still going strong! Nothing else comes close. 

Low of 35.  National high of 100 at Faith Ranch, TX and low of -6 near MacKay, ID.  Happy Friday, all. 

Low of 39.  Backdoor cold front season is upon us.  Sunday late afternoon potential looks quite.......interesting.

Well hello spring thread. 36 at the house when I left and 28 through the rurals. A perfect ten on tap.

Low of 27. Beautiful days ahead. 

Low of 37 here. Next week looks positively delightful.

Hello everyone, I wanted to send a brief message you will not see much anymore. I was diagnosed with Cancer. I hope and wish everyone the best! Thank you for letting me into this forum and being part of it. 

Gutted to hear this. Really sorry PA but keep the faith. Treatments have gotten so much better.  My dad battled through it a couple years ago and came out on top. You can do it too, and I know you will. Blizz will find you one last PA snowfall for the season!

Low of 31 here with some gnarly winds last evening.  Off to Hershey today for the PIAA state wrestling championships.  Let's gooooooo!!!

People were actually offended by it?

More like person, not people.

Winds blowing strong now - up into the low 40s.

Wish my buddy @Itstrainingtime was around because I'd like to see if his were less down there. 

Amazing how one little "Day in the Life" post can disrupt the dynamic of the board so much.  It should have been totally harmless. 

Current temp of 41 is the low and total rainfall ends up at .99".  Solid.

Thunder shaking the room. Dogs are acting up. Glorious.
