Do you even drink water?

Ended up with 3" at home. This 3" seemingly has the same amount of qpf as the other 80"+ that fell over the course of winter combined.

Temps dropped quickly after the flip here and accumulation picked up quickly.

Couple of inches here at home. Started in Waterbury around noon. And just to annoy @ORH_wxman, I’ve included a picture of the heated walkway hard at work.

My dad did HVAC for 30+years and always said baseboard hot water was the best until radiant in-floor technology advances made that more practical but hot water is still the most comfortable.

I get it, we can't change it so enjoy what you can with what we get but it just highlights my entire disdain for the two months of mud season. Maybe it will mean that I won't have to go in to the office for work Monday.

Hope and pray for what? That it misses? That is what I would be hoping for. I really don't want 22" and yes, I know it wouldn't play out like that but now that I've melted out, I want the progression towards the warm season to continue unabated.

I get his point though. It’s a subjective combination of multiple factors. Losing a month has to negatively impact the overall score.

I drove home from northern Maine towing a snowmobile trailer yesterday. We delayed leaving Presque Isle due to poor road conditions and wind. Finally got on the road around 2:00. Everything was smooth sailing all the way through Bangor so I decided to go through the White Mtns. on Rt. 2. Worked fine all the way to Gorham, NH. At Gorham the wind was absolutely ripping and it was snowing and even though we saw a couple of state trucks coming down the mountain, I knew it was going to be sketchy. And I was correct. The wind was howling and it was near white out conditions. The snow was starting to accumulate on the road and combined with the salt made it pretty slushy. It was a white knuckle drive all the way to Twin Mountain. The road was fine most of the rest of the way until a mini repeat through Groton, Topsham and Orange. Pulling the big trailer in the wind was worse thing. It made me feel like I would get pushed around on the slippery road surface. o was pretty happy to get home.

Snowing up here in Presque Isle. Delaying my drive home.

@tamarackI took Rt.2 to Bangor today. Thought of you as I drove through New Sharon

I'm thinking B- or maybe a B. It was a consistent winter but I'm still 10"-15" below normal for snow. We did get just about wiped out a week or so before Christmas. It never got down to completely bare ground but set back the start of snowmobile season. The cold was consistent, somewhat low grade. We didn't have any truly low minimums but had a lot of low maximums. If we could have held out with winter for another week or so, the grade might be a bit higher.

Mud season is in full swing in my driveway and the parts of the yard I keep snowblowed. 51° and mostly sunny.

Not much melting on Lake Willoughby yet.

Am I reading that correctly? It looks like a relatively warm month with the coldest high temp being 19°
