Barely any rain today. Cold. Awful 

A light intermittent spritz between 1 PM and 4 pm is not going to cut it...

FREE Weather Wizard III.  I dont know if this is allowable within the regulations of this site.  If not, many pardons.  I wish to give away an unused Weather Wizard III as my moving away gift to anyone on the forum.  Older technology, so maybe it can just be used for parts?  I prefer not to ship.  I live in Garwood NJ 07027.   Never Used!!!

Once again, JB’s bombastic prediction of a huge return to deep winter, “delayed spring”, arctic cold and snowstorms in the east, from 3/15 through Easter Sunday looks to be a monumental, epic fail. I’m sure he will never acknowledge it and simply move on like it never even happened just like he does every year…..

Too many people have figured out that life's events happen too frequently for people to remember erroneous bad predictions or bombastic lies...

Maybe it’s historic, maybe it’s not. How do we know what the weather was 300 years ago?

Science uses tree rings, ice core samples, sedimentary rock, etc. to determine temperatures from past years...

Looks like the warm front will come north again this Thursday for the next 70° potential at the usual spots. Would be nice if the warm sector can push further north than yesterday. Had the marine layer all day yesterday here on the CT Shoreline while NJ mad it to 70°+.

Then another a cooldown for a few days as Canada and the Northeast briefly gets colder.

It’s possible that some of the local warm spots could make a run on 75°-80° during the first week of April as the Southeast ridge flexes and trough tries to dig into the West. 

It's over...

My dream

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?

Sometimes, you have to use common sense and not rely on the models. How many times have you seen snow immediately following 80 degree days? I can't think of any.

If I happen to be wrong, I will personally come back here and apologize to you all. However, I know it's not going to happen, so I'm done posting on this thread because it's really unnecessary. Good night to everyone. 

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".

it was in my 30's after 94 that i got my first snowblower....i was diagnosed in 1996 after a viral illness caught teaching summer school the summer before; it was hell; but even the snow blower is heavy and causes me issues, plus i still have to shovel areas between the cars and clean out the back porch for the dogs. but its ok, we love it. gotta pace myself, 63 years old.....it goes fast. and usually, i'm on the fringe with a lot of storms, but got hit with them this year. every year is different. 

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...

We didnt have a volcanic eruption this winter and look how it turned out. I think people are too fascinated on that aspect about a volcano helping or hurting the atmosphere. 

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