I don't hate this as we begin our winter season:

Lightning and thunder to my S and E. Light rain and a gentle breeze here.

When's the next threat we be trackin?

Flurries here in Ivyland. 35F. Biggest event since Feb 20

Cool era we are living in when we have a tropical system in March already and now another progged for early April in the Gulf:

Place a bet on the under while there's still time. Phillies O/U is between 90.5 - 91.5 which I think is fair. They had 95 wins last season and I think they are better/healthier this year...

Meh, I took Bryce to hit a hr today for a buck. Nice payout at +850

My prediction on Phillies wins this season sits at 80. Yes, sadly feeling they finish just below 500 and miss the post season. A much improved division was the largest factor along  with the Phillies making nearly zero moves during the off season. Hope they prove me wrong and win the division, pennant and WS.

Had a few periods of rain mixed with wet snowflakes today at work up in Telford. 

This has been an odd March based on average. I don't think we've even seen a wet flake mixed in. Most years we at least see some white rain in March at some point. Buckling up for our BN April and May probably.

We are so back....for 6 hours

Poor PSU.

In his defense it wasn't just him. There were several here and other subs targeting that period. But can't fault them, the ens and tellies all looked good. It was actually refreshing, however, to see many regular posters learned from past experiences not to 'lock it up' wrt post day 10 patterns. 

Eta: Maybe the mass hysteria hype train didn't leave the station due to it being late in the season? I'm giving the benefit of the doubt though, that most of us just learned from the past, so we'll stick with that story.

Only 1 day left to cash in on our epic window Feb 20-March 15. I think we got this.

Keep an eye on this one

Wasnt the gfs the model that led the way with the feb 20 'event' where all models had us getting crushed but the gfs was by itself and well south?

I am going to latch onto 1 GFS run so I can piss myself off one last time this winter. Let’s ride!

That's how we roll 'round these parts

We got this one

Folks...

Those birds are all around in abundance year round, now, if you see a hummingbird pass by, you know winter is LONG gone‼️

The geese are starting to pair up and chase/harass each other. March is clearly only a few days away now.

Heard a woodpecker the other day as well. Thought it was a bit odd for February.

Winters final grade still a C-?

36F

I'm going with a C+.....if we had reached seasonal avg probably a B but doesn't look likely now. White Christmas, 13 or 14 'events', cold asf January, a couple minor icing events. I'm comfortable with a C+

Saw the first bumble bee of spring outside today. Winters over folks

The bluebirds have been around for about 2 weeks now, heard a woodpecker yesterday, and saw a bluejay today. I dont know annual birding patterns so for all i know those three species are active year-round. Regardless, winter is over. Wouldn't be shocked to see flakes or accums 1 more time as a fluke, but overall winter packed it's bags and is done.

Fool me once with the LR gfs snowstorms shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Well, I'm back and I'm taking the walk of shame.
