Dark Star

woke up to some powdered sugar on some surfaces this morning...

Hard to believe this is illustrating a recent storm. High totals were between 30" and 40". With the snow, consistently up to the shoulders (consistently), this would mean a five foot depth?

I didn't expect a real winter, not with that Pacific jet out there...

It would be, if it weren't so windy...

Snow stopped, getting brighter...

Live by the models, die by the models. At least that used to be the war cry 40 years ago. However, I have seen major snow storms with temps near 70 the day or so before (just can't remember specifics)...

NWS has already taken the Thursday evening (snow chances) out of the forecast.

B+ A very good winter indeed, based on 66 years of observation. In relative terms it was an "A".

What happened to the March 17th "event"?

The delights of a bidet are never ending...

Sorry to hear that. Even a snowblower is work, if you do it right. I normally have to pull up on the handle a little to make sure the front of the snowblower is getting all the way down to the pavement. It gets a little tiring after a while. Sure beats shoveling. I shoveled a few mounds on the road and piled them on my lawn, hoping to sculpt a polar bear. By the time I got started, I realized that it would all be melted in less than a week, so I abandoned the idea...

I'll let Volcanic Winter answer this one...
