I really have not noticed any post suggesting winter is over....beyond suggesting there is not much in the table in the near term. But what happens second half of winter does not change what has happened first half. Second mention but I think the fact that all 2.9" of snow lasted less than 12 hours (except plow piles) after falling is the real indictment on how bad it has been.
We are under 2" here....to me, 2.9" near the midpoint of winter is not much better than 0. In both instances the snow was totally gone at Mdt before the end of the same day.
That puts them at 2.9" for the winter. Not that it matters for the second half of winter but wonder where that falls for first half of met winter historically. Obviously going to be very low on the list but were any seasons lower? Already determined 19/20 was higher. 1/15 is Sunday so not totally out of the question some could be added on.
It seems likely that MDT will not report 2" of snow for this AM so we are still running behind the pace of the 19-20 winter when MDT was at 3.9" as of now. MDT will be 2"+ whatever they report today.
Calling anything on this snow map a jackpot is like playing the nickel slots at Penn National...one "coin" at a time...and hitting the top prize of $10. LOL
Wow, did not realize it was not as cold over there. Off my game on a Sunday. MDT did break freezing for the first time in 2023 and first time since Dec 29th. A 9 day streak.

A chilly 22 this AM. Most meso and Global models are very similar in their depiction of snow chances in the 24-36 hours. A stripe of snow on the northern edge of quickly a escaping wave that exits the US around the VA/NC border and heads ENE. Parts of the Laurels through the Northern areas of the LSV in the LV seem to be the favorites right now. Here is the 3K Nam depiction which closely matches others. The temps do rise above freezing when the precip.
MA LR having that same "Twitter Met's hurting the hobby" discussion we had here a month or two ago.
