Can't speak for him, but we kinda need Friday night to come to fruition out here for rainfall.... Right at 2.71 total precip since January 28th.... With another day here with winds gusting in the 40s and the growing season starting - Its drying out pretty fast....

We are smoked out again here.  There is a fire burning somewhere upwind.

Drove through 31F, heavy snow, with approx 1" on the ground through east PA on I-84 today.  Get back to VA and it's sunny, 65F, hurricane winds and wildfires again.  I'm so goddamn sick of this place.

Another summer day.  It won't be long before 90F is recorded in March.

For every inch it snows, I’ll donate a dollar to the board

Who is going to make change for you?

No comments on the 18z GFS?

I love getting missed to the south in late March.

1.29" of needed rain.  Very windy this morning. 

Thunder!

Over 1" now. 

Not getting completely busted out here this time.  

.70".  But the best stuff is north.

0.18 since Monday 

0.35 monthly total

1.65 for February 

Exactly 2 inches since the last big January system...

Headed quickly into another drought. 

. 07" yesterday.  SMFH.

Mist.  Great to see the usual areas inundated with rain, while we again are dry.

This sure has been one hell of an adventure. I don’t have power, I don’t have Internet although my phone still works thankfully. The snowblower that the condo uses to dig us out is broken and they don’t think we’re gonna get any back up until at least Monday. I estimate we’ve had about 7 feet with another 4 to 6 to come. If I don’t get out on Monday which is when my flight is, Tuesday and Wednesday we’re going to get another 2 feet.

Amazing.  I don't have the words.....

Stay safe, though.  And thanks for providing these updates to us.

.38" last 24 hrs.. The Central Valley has been dry for the past month.  The cutoff has been the Blue Ridge. Charlottesville received 1.00" past 24.

Not just the Central Valley.  This is an all-too familiar pattern setting in again.

When is the last time we had a good February? Time to add February along with December as non winter months.

All hail to January and a few days in March! I love snow but I doubt I’ll ever see it again

Great pic. I have to laugh at your "maximize snowfall" comment though. Please don't pull a Ji if you only get 7 feet of snow instead of 8.

The forecast is for up to 13 feet.

You'll be even dryer though 

Rats!!!

Well, the good news is that the pacific ocean is getting smaller by 1-inch every year.  Eventually, it won't matter what PDO cycle we're in!  No more PAC puke!

My mom still lived in Winchester during those years so I paid attention and I think at least 3 of those winters were 30 plus inches around Winchester is that about right? 

Where was I for those winters???  None of them were good.  There were some good stretches out In my part of the county where I was in '20 - 23 that I distinctly remember driving into snowless Winchester often.

20" is above average in my yard. Did that 2 winters ago.

Well, 3 more years for you then!

I think I said it back in 2016 coming off 3 consecutive AN winters..... 3 out 4 winters here are probably BN, so we were staring at 9 ratters coming down the pipe.  Looks like we're getting them all in succession.   '25 - 26 is our year.

Is the cold air gone for good? I booked a spring break ski trip to upstate Vermont and its starting to look like a fail of a trip .

Yes. It's apparently hurricane season.

I think November is my least favorite weather month.  It starts to get chilly with shorter days, but it's not quite snow season.  I factor in psychology into how I grade months and I honestly think January might be one of my favorites simply because it can and does snow, but I also know that spring isn't too far off.

November means saying goodbye to any chance of 80s (at least it used to).  It also means shorter days, T-day, football, Christmas, and hope of snow to come (and now no longer does).  It and October are my 2 favorite months.
