We just had the warmest March 1-16 ever. But yeah, the 2nd half will be cooler especially compared to average.

Toss those TT clown maps high and far.

COOP never hit 80°

I have tiger lilies and comfrey coming up.

Instrumentation or coding error. They were having issues that day.

3-5” sounds about right. Gotta keep those puddles up. We’ll get 3 dry days in a row in mid April and Epstein will start stressing about the potted plants.

Thick fog this morning…min 29.5°. Up and down over the next week. Hopefully that Friday cold shot moderates some.

Coldest +10 day ever

Get studying. The exam is next week. https://www.icams-portal.gov/resources/ofcm/fmh/FMH1/fmh1_2019.pdf

No I mean that’s when they report the depth if they report it at all. 00z/06z/12z/18z. If it’s once per day it’s usually 12z.

They do if they have a manned observer augmenting the obs

You’ll sometimes just see snow depth in a METAR as well. Usually 0/6/12/18z. 4/ddd Where ddd is the depth in inches. So 24” would be 4/024.

Snow increasing rapidly Now you see something like SNINCR 2/24 2”/hr and 24” depth

Yeah I didn’t think it was 6hr since it was a 23z ob anyway. I think snoincr now is just the hourly rate if >= 1”/hr and then the pack depth.

SNOINCR 3/10/11 is 3” in the last hour and then I forget if the coding back then was 10” in the past 6hrs or 10” for the storm. And then I think the 11” is the current depth. SLP is in every ob in tenths of a mb. So SLP875 is 987.5mb. I think anything coded as 500+ gets a 9 in front of it (low pressure) and anything sub 500 gets a 10 (high pressure).

No gust data, but the Nov 50 sustained winds are always fun to look at.

On a somewhat related note… The weather was a little more wintry on this day 31 years ago.

There was a a pretty good warm up a week before it as well. These are CON’s records.

2012 obvi isn’t happening and never was, but that was toward the equinox. We’re still a week out from that.

Who had 90s?

The euro is turning into the nam. Just pick the version you like the best.

22.1” the last 2 seasons combined

Alternating warmth and moderating cold. Not scared.
