I think part of why the totals in PD2 varied around the region because of the sleet that was mixed in at times. I got a few hours of sleet in the middle of it and the snowpack settled at least 6", more on southerly exposures where the sleet was driven into it rather than just fell on top. I know though that some friends further SE in CT didn't get the sleet as badly as I did.

Why don't you just go away. Isn't it obvious to you that nobody wants you around? After all these year and all these times of getting bounced don't you think a wise person would just leave because they're not wanted? IOW split kook

Looks like the last of it finally melted off. Like Rob said at least we're on the board for March.

Nice little half inch on the ground. @Animal how much did you end up with?

Snow! I woke up to look out at 4am and it was coming down pretty hard. Woke up now and the place is covered, well everything other than pavement. Easily .5" makes it the most in 2 months. Nice surprise

And then again Thursday morning.

Snow in my P&C for Monday night

Where are you still flying to and from? Are you seeing the empty planes that my friends that do a lot of business travel are talking about?

The mosquitoes have been swarming and are really aggressive so far this (short) season. Thankfully I'm seeing no ticks yet but I hear that they've been really bad in southern NH.

I've seen a couple of places that said it was a hot box problem. The pics from this morning are ugly.

Well the wind and dry air has done wonders for drying things out quickly. I had a super fun 73* mt bike ride today on ribbons of hero dirt. Where were you?

Well, I can tell you what it's like when 17" falls on warm ground then melts within 24 hours. Fortunately it rained for a few hours before it changed to snow so it loosened up the surface, then add the weight of the goop that piled up and things got kind of slidey. Steep hillsides sagged, road cuts sloughed and even the steep landscaping stuff in my neighborhood shifted as the snow melted. With the 40+ inch numbers they got here in the 1888 storm I can only imagine the chaos it caused.

Lucky. All I got was flakes and wind. Still have the wind which is good though, it's time to dry things out.

Tonight has some wintry appeal goin' on. I'd call it moderate flurries.

Floyd --- 14" of the most intense rain I've ever seen. I won't ever forget what I saw that day and we are still able to see some of the results of that day in the local forests. I have flurries now after a misty soggy day. The wind came up a few hours ago, the temp dropped and we're getting a reminder that it's still March.

I think that was the year we went 5 weeks straight dry and warm. The forest was in great shape right up until about solstice time when it dried out. Then it got sketchy with brush fires.

And don't look at the radar and see the snow falling in VA/WV/KY/TN either.

Yeah my friends out there are all on the mt bikes already.

97 did, that's why the April Fool's storm was so destructive. That month the leaves were popping on nearly every type of tree here by 3/15 whereas at this point there's nothing happening yet. Will it green up in the next two weeks? Maybe but somehow I don't think so. 2012 is fuzzy for me but I do remember it greening up early but that may have been ground cover not the trees or I probably would have remembered it.

That wouldn't be all bad would it? Yeah yeah and that's one the top 3 storms of the last 25 years here for the sheer power it displayed and the destruction it wrought here. I rarely get scared by weather, that one did it.

At least it didn't rain for very long but it's soggy again and the fog is getting thick already. Maybe we'll get some t-storms to blow it out later.

The kid needs it sometimes It's nothing personal, I'd feed it to pretty much anyone that kept droning on like that. If it was up to me there would be snow on the ground from mid November to Easter but in a dud year like this one just get it over with, the mud has already been a problem and we don't need more.

You obviously live a paved life At this point in the year a heavy wet snow will do nothing other than make mud, lots of MUD. This ruins most outdoor activities other than walking on the sidewalk (nearest one of those to me is almost 2 miles away), it wipes out the chance to get the garden going early so we can eat fresh food that's good for us and it destroys my business and puts my income off until June. If you want to see snow go find it, stop hoping for an event that will do nothing more than disrupt the lives of the other couple of million people that live in the area outside of your little Brooklyn/NYC paved and concrete world.

Well that's two months in a row ruined now I had a dusting Saturday so Feb didn't turn out to be a complete bust and now today a trace of frozen pellets so March isn't a bust either. We can't even set proper bust records anymore.
