IUsedToHateCold

7.25 for me 

Wow! Very cool. The dots kind of line up where I thought they would based upon reading the forum over the years (most are on or west of the fall line)

I may hate this more than stormtracker hates cicadas. It looks like someone vomited over dog food and put it on a plate. 

lol I am as pessimistic as anyone but I do remember shoveling 6 inches of snow after March 20th three years ago. Tracking is not dead yet. 

They only need a soil temp of 64 degrees to emerge. That could be in March if it's warm enough. Never lived through one of these, but I was actually in DC in 2004 (not living in the area) and remember them. You couldn't walk down the sidewalk without running into one.

Gone over to light snow and got a dusting. I’ll call that a win 

I’ve got some combination of sleet and grauple

I’m expecting flakes but too warm temperatures for any meaningful stickage.

Yeah it's nearly impossible to eradicate all the small areas where water sits in that setting. If you want to try to in your yard, other than the dunkers, this is the pro stuff-

Thanks. I’ll give this a shot

The source for me is almost completely on the back side of my property, and is maybe an acre of area at its most expansive, so as long as I do the work in early Spring, I can pretty much mitigate an awful summer of skeeters. It usually dries up by early summer.  Last year I did get the late summer tiger bastards, but that was a function of the incredible above normal wet period we had east of I-95.

Those tiger mosquitos are awful, and totally unavoidable in a suburban neighborhood like mine. We literally don’t go outside in our yard in the summer and they still follow us the house 

Looks like Andrews  AFB has gone straight to summer

Not happening.  If we had a good H5 vortex passage it would work, but we don't, so the only decent vertical motion will be with convection offshore.

This is the type of stuff I wish I understood about weather, but don't.

0z NAM showed the possibility of a sliver of precip making it up here by morning, but I'm not counting on it. 

Still mostly sleet here. Interesting that there is snow to my east 

If I had to forecast this storm, this is what I would go with

I'll stick with the safe forecast - something may or may not fall out of the sky in the next few days. 

Obs? Sun and cold. Should drop below freezing pretty quick. 

Radar? Looks like there is precip in western TN, so nothing is getting here too quick. NAM says start time tomorrow morning. I'll believe that.

God I wish I could block people!

Uhh - you can? There is an ignored users feature. 

Thanks reaper! I feel free now.

Imagine my disappointment to wake up and see a storm thread. I’m so jaded already. Whatever that ledge thing is I’ve already jumped.

I know you all aren't declaring victory 72 hours in advance.

Lol. I'm looking forward to another half inch of sleet with some pity snow thrown in.

It’s interesting how these crazy cold shots come down so far south in the middle of the country. I would think that the Gulf of Mexico would help moderate temps in places like Houston, but apparently not or not always? 

I read recently that in 1895 there was snow as far south as Tampico, MX. 

Seems like the Atlantic (or maybe our longitude) is our worst enemy here in the mid Atlantic 

That cold shot is insane. It's 14 degrees with light snow in Memphis TN right now. My yard hasn't been that low this year, and I'm pretty sure hasn't been that low in at least a few years. 

I’ve got the snow pellets and sleet now-it appears to be moving east.

100 percent sleet now. Everything nicely coated in ice

10 miles west of you is looking legit. 

I will second this. Trees and bushes with a noticeable glaze here and one inch icicles hanging from my deck furniture. Coming down light to moderate
