I went from Syracuse to Plattsburgh to Jackman, Maine.

What would be your thoughts on Greenville Maine?

WTF earthquake? A pic fell off a wall

Looks like epicenter was Lebanon, NJ.




.

3.48” in my rain bucket for 3-day total.

I have a room booked in SYR area, but just in case clouds sneak in faster, I’ve also booked a room just north of Albany. The plan would be to drive to Plattsburgh that morning. I assume 87 will be a zoo.

I know people in here are focusing on one last potential wintry threat, I certainly respect and understand that. But the bigger story to me in the next 48 hours is the severe threat that's unfolding not too far away from us. I feel that the pretty colors aren't finished moving towards us, too.

Got down to 38F.

Now at 51F. Beautiful outside today.

Wow, 61 at home currently.

My grass went nuts over the past 24 hours. Over half of it needs mowed soon.

Many reporting stations around MDT are at or near 60F also.

49.6 to be exact in Maytown. I'd like to know the last time Clearfield County was 20 degrees higher than here. It isn't super unusual for SW PA - but in that area, yes. 

About an 1” of rain today.

Yeah that's the right word for it.......interesting.  All kinds of disjointed in regards to SLP placement but worth keeping an eye on.  A LOT to be sorted out yet. 

High mountain snow is like lake effect snow to me. Feels fake. Loved it when I lived in Boulder area….Great to snowboard in.


Just don’t get the same feel as a coastal plain snowstorm.


.

That second week of March to end of March will be interesting.

Need to make sure we get those lows to cut underneath.


.

Got down to 19F.


.

21F for low.

Saturday looks like last winter day. Phil was right.

MA forum talking about the President's Day Blizzard of 1979, which happened to also be on 2/19 like today. You are probably one of the few on here with me who might remember that storm...do you have any notes or memories? I was 14, and went to bed on Sunday night with snow falling lightly and about 1" OTG. Forecast was for 2-4". I woke up around 5am and there was a bush outside my bedroom that was about 18" tall...it was buried. Ended up with about 20" on a forecast literally that night of 2-4". 

Like 3 days ago I said “we should ignore the south band and focus on the north, history says that’s where the goods will be and the south max will be disappointing”  I let my desire for us not to be shafted influence me too much yesterday. For a time the guidance kept the fgen displaced south of the arctic boundary and indicated two separate legit heavy snow bands. But things converged on a more historically typical outcome with the fgen shifting north with the better thermal gradient along the arctic boundary. I should have seen that coming. I did from 3 days then kidded myself when crunch time came. 

Got about 3.5” of snow here in Willow Street area of Lancaster. A lot more than I would have thought.

Very little on concrete and asphalt surfaces.

Cars, roofs and grass covered in white gold.

Colder concrete and road surfaces starting to whiten up.
