Tuesday am looking more of a minor zr event than any actual snow 

Sounds good to me. After yesterday, most to all of the snowpack is gone, and I really don't want to see it return.

62 was the high today.

Look at you. Not only do you beat my lows, but now you're beating my highs, too.

Knock it off already... 

Got up to 60.1 in Tamaqua today.

We have loads of sun down here. 

It was off and on here for awhile. Now, finally, we are wall to wall blue skies.

Guidance support today for a PV split and invasion second half of March

Man, I've had enough. And why is it that every time the PV splits, it heads right for the northeast? Why can't it go west once in awhile?

Low of 31. Splendid day on tap today. I’m going to take the kids to the park. I imagine everyone will be out and about. Then a few days of crappy weather before we get the prolonged warmup. But winter is still lurking for late March. 

I thought today was supposed to be as sunny as yesterday. Right now we're close to a solid overcast again.

Today's euro mega torches after next Wednesday, a week of false spring?

 

I don't want to hear about false spring. I want real spring.

Also, gotta ask, why is it that when the PV splits, it always beelines it for east and not the West?

Cracked 50 today!!!

Currently 51 in the backyard.

jesus, you're old 

Hell, I was 14 years old for that April 82 storm. Remember it quite well. I think we got somewhere between 8 and 12 inches out of that one in Bethlehem. If I remember right, I think we had a single digit low the morning after as well.

Crazy chain of events with that one.

Time change next weekend so it seems tracking season so just about kaput for me. It was a nice winter.

I hate bugs but next eeek they’ll start coming back. 

Yup. I'm going to go from salty windshields to buggy windshields. I don't mind the bugs, but with me doing trucking videos, the biggest, messiest bug splat seems to always happen right in my camera view...lol

18 this morning.

19.6 here. Funny how 20 with no wind doesn't feel all that cold.

This one’s for you @Voyagerhaha. Once we route out the lingering cold later next week after whatever happens Monday, guidance shifts high pressure to a Bermuda high positioning and that would likely usher in the warmest air we’ve seen since about October. Euro/GFS both have multiple days in the 70s late next week into next weekend. Given setup and teleconnections (+AO/NAO, +EPO, -PNA) I don’t think this one get’s muted. 

Thanks for posting this. I know I'm in the minority, and sometimes I can be overbearing, but I really needed a spirit pick me up. I've been about as depressed as I've ever been this winter.

43 in the Tamaqua backyard at 10:30am. Even warmer here in Allentown. Hopefully we get a full sunny day today. That way, all of the old snowpack will be gone before anything next week materializes.

I am fine with this and then touching 70 by the following week. Would be a fitting finale to a really good winter!

I would love just one last warning level snow and then gladly move right on to spring 

I'm so torn on this. Part of says yes, give the winter snow guys one last storm, but part of me is quite happy seeing more and more bare ground each day.

I'm not sure I want to start the melting process all over again.

Yes, one last hurrah!

I don't have any hurrahs left in me...

March 15 is the cliff

I just saw a couple posts on Facebook that nearly pushed me over the edge. Both of them talked about another PV split, and that after a bit of a warmup, winter returns and may last into early April. 

They actually made me hide all weather posts on Facebook from pro and amateur mets. I can't take the depression any more.

I just can't...

What sun angle? It’s been cloudy almost everyday   

Actually, I was going to ask about that. Does anyone have stats on cloudy vs sunny days? Besides the cold and wind, it seems like it's been exceptionally cloudy this winter.

I see 1-2 for Tuesday night, another 1-2 maybe on Thursday, and then another possible storm next Monday.

Make it stop already...

You be right up the street from me. We'll meet at Whelihan's when you're finished and pound some beer before your return trip 

Seriously, I haven't been out yet but guestimate maybe 9-10" from the window. My side street has be plowed and it's just blacktop this morning. Safe travels!!

Thanks much! 

I could use an adult beverage or three as I'm quite wound up this morning.

And now it stopped...

I'm hoping it keeps going in the Lansdale area, and the Penndot restrictions hold well into the afternoon. I really don't want to go down there today.

18” @ 5 am

Nice!

Ok, not sure what's going on. Got a moderate snow with big fatties falling, yet there's nothing overhead on radar. Must be low topped clouds under the radar beam.

Anyway. I just measured 3" on the hood of my white GMC Terrain that didn't go anywhere since 8am yesterday. So I suppose it's sort of a white board...lol.
