Of course it depends on one's specific location, but at least here, we had the one of the worst snow/ice storms in 25 years (bearing in mind we only average 1" of snow for an entire season) and ended up 3*F below normal for the month The last 1/3 of the month was ok, but it didn't make up for the majority of days featuring double digit negative departures during the first 2/3 of the month.

REally looking forward to the Spring-like weather after the extremely cold / snowy January. Could get up into the 70s here today, despite the clouds / rain.
-
I'm seeing Sleet. Temps aloft are too warm for snow.

It's still ended up pretty good, but not as good as the initial frames suggested. The QPF in the cold sector dropped off somewhat. -

NAM started out good, then it crapped out as thing shifted out of AL. -

Looks like all of the models are starting to narrow in on amounts between 2-3" here, which would be impressive if it happens. -

You guys can blame and/or thank me for the snow. I brought it down with me from Detroit. You're welcome. -
Yeah, that's why I'm targeting Dallas.
-
Will likely book a room in downtown Dallas in 2024. No road trip this time though.
-
Heck, how many people can say they saw 2 Eclipses in their lifetime?
-
After the Elizabethtown construction, got caught in Cincinnati and Dayton's rush hour for about an hour. Did drive through two heavy downpours as well (one in Louisville and one south of Toledo). Otherwise, had no problems getting home.
-
left nashville at 9am ct, was smooth sailing on I-65 until elizabethtown, ky where I hit construction traffic.
-
Still debating if I should take the interstate or country roads back to avoid construction. Either way will probably add an hour to my drive.
-
I would likely target Cleveland, but given my luck today in Nashville during an otherwise "perfect" time of year and "perfect" pattern, the bolded is a big concern.
-
I'm not leaving until tomorrow, but it's the construction that concerns me, both on I-65 in Elizabethtown, KY and I-75 in Cincinnati.
-
Yep, right over downtown Nashville. By the time it moved in / developed, it was too late to drive outside of it. At least we weren't screwed alone. Charleston, SC got ****ed also. Plus, there's always 2024.
-
Getting some typical diurnal CU overhead as we head into peak heating. Hopefully, they begin to mix out / diminish, or at least none of these clouds will block my view of the eclipse. :-P
-
Mostly clear skies here!
-
While sitting at the bar, I overhead the waitress say there are currently 1.4 million visitors in Nashville.
-
I'm in elizabethtown, ky and traffic on I-65 has slowed to a crawl at best. Won't get to Nashville until night fall at this pace. The rural roads, judging from the overpasses, are the same.
-
As far as Nashville, the main concern right now looks to be the potential for the typical popcorn t'storms to bubble up during peak heating. As long as they don't form over / near the city around the time of the eclipse, we should be good.
-
Below is a pretty nice simulation of the sky conditions at the time of the eclipse... https://eclipsemega.movie/simulator?lat=39.0997265&lng=-94.57856670000001
-
The word from Nashville is the only hotel that's still available is way out in Lebanon (Knights Inn), and they're charging $799/night.
-
That's a decent setup also, as the area under the total eclipse would be in the subsidence region of that trough.
-
Worst case, it then becomes a storm-chasing trip.
