Yesterday was spectacular - hit 80 for the first time this year. Today? Snow showers lol.

Awww Roger, I didn't know you personally but loved your enthusiasm and posts. Your reach extended well beyond most, and our collective community is much better because you were a part of it. We'll be watching the models for ya from here on out. Time to rest.

@IronTy that's also what I recorded this morning: 8F for a low. It'll likely be next season before we see single digits again. All in all, a decent winter out here. I'd give it a B.

This is my 4th winter here and wrt Wisp, this was their best season of the last 4. In fact, each year since the 22-23 dud, it's gotten better (not saying much, I know). Hopefully next year, we'll get a couple of bona fide coastals that bury us. Since they threw in the towel, the Wisp employees are in limbo right now and the ~25 J1 visa employees have all returned to South America. It's that weird intra-seasonal space between ski and golf season where it's tough to get anything done there. Looking outside, occasional snow showers continue and temp is still at 19. Not too shabby for St. Patty's Day

Ended up with a really nice snowfall. 4.5" as of 10 AM. Occasional light snow continues with the temp in the upper teens. What's really nice is this put me above 100" for the season!

Hi today was 63, now it's 27 with a legit snowstorm outside. Winds clocked in the upper 40mph range w/visibilities under 1/4mi at times. I just got back from a business trip and was paying attention to the severe threat and didn't really think about the wintry side. Nice surprise!

That's exactly what I've received out here in sw Garrett County. Temp was 60.4 at midnight, now 29.1 - the yoyo party commences. Looks like I picked up nearly 1" of liquid in the past 24 hours which is nice.

Brief but intense showers continue. Up to 0.56" of rain so far today. Air is definitely juicy so if any peeks of sun appear later, it won't take much to recharge the atmosphere.

Garden variety thunderstorm this morning dropping a quick 0.31". Will be interesting to see how this impacts the thunderstorm threat later today.

It's a beautiful day out here. Currently up to 75.4 and everyone is coming out of hibernation.

Dreary and muggy out in the mountains. We've received 1.56" of precip the last few days and the line that just moved through had an early summer feel...large rain drops, super humid and distant rumbles of thunder. You know, late winter kinda stuff lol. My poor hubby is working the second shift at Wisp. He said there's been one guy he's seen since about 4 PM. Talk about a diehard out there - I love winter but skiing in a thunderstorm sucks. Feels kinda like the week after Christmas...time to wrap things up for the season, put away the lights and take the skis to the basement. We might get a surprise in a week, but the writing is obviously on the wall. But, in just 6 months, we'll be starting football and pumpkin spice season anew!

Mid 20s all day. 1.5" total. Nice little event to whiten up the bare ground.

I just drove back home from Richmond tonight and noticed the brining. I travel this route (259 to 48) probably 15-20 times a year and don't remember ever seeing them brined like that.

This is something I’ve never seen before. I have literally hundreds of snow balls in the yard. I’d say they vary from a small cantaloupe to a small watermelon in size. The upslope from the past few days is pure fluff. The snow falling now is much wetter. The wind pushed the snow into these perfectly round shapes. Almost like Mother Nature starting a snowman.

Steady snow this morning - temperature rose to 40 overnight on SW winds but once precip started, fell back to its current 30. About 1.5" otg from this latest round. I'll probably pick up another 2" before temps climb late morning/early afternoon.
