Your already in Arizona...you don't need to wonder any further.

While we're all counting on a snow storm to bring joy to the forum. One thing we haven't had for along time is an ice storm.

22 this morning...a reminder that temperature wise winter is still here.

Clouds finally breaking up. The grass here has been basically green all winter and I can see at certain areas that it was still growing even though the rate of growth is so small. I get the assumption your trying to get a jump on the lawn mowing competition for 2024.

34 here Hope we get to see the sun for a few days, as it was mia for quite awhile.

Every day that passes is one day closer to spring. So my take is your starting to beat the drums of war on winter.

My average temp for the month of January 2024 was 32.1

It used to be November was the cloudiest month.

34 this morning.

33 here also.

The soil is so waterlogged right now.

Rain so far .46 and 39 degrees.

Made it to 63 today.

Could have swore I heard thunder about 10 min ago when the showers came through here.

Did you visualize Tommy Lee too, in your visualization?

From Our friend DT: ABOUT NEW ENGLAND / NE PA/ SE interior NY/ nw NJ.... SUNDAY SNOWSTORM Currently there is major Trough in the jet stream is moving from the Plains into the Mississippi Valley. This system has developed LOW pressure In ARK and MO. This LOW pressure area will track northeast into OH and the eastern Great Lakes. As it does so most of the rain in the Midwest and the Ohio Valley will bypass the Middle Atlantic region except for a few showers Thursday night into Friday morning. Friday afternoon will see a lot of sunshine especially in VA MD and DEL as well as western NC. Readings are likely to go above 70° in many areas even as far north as Washington dc/ bal and into the mid and upper 60s into the Shenandoah Valley and near 60 in southwest VA and the mountains of western NC. BUT A second area of LOW pressure will develop in the Mississippi Delta on Friday night and Saturday morning. This well-organized LOW pressure area will intensify as it moves northeast up the Appalachian Mountains across northern GA, eastern TN and western NC by Saturday night. This will spread significant rain from GA to MD and across all of eastern TN, eastern KY and WV. The LOW pressure area will drive into OH by Sunday morning but then it will transfer its energy as it jumps over the mountains and a new LOW pressure area will develop off the VA/ MD coast . As the system moves away, it will pull in colder air and the rain could end as snow in western MD, the eastern panhandle of WV and the northwest 25% of VA for a few hours Sunday night or predawn hours of Monday. More significant snowfalls possible in northeast PA, southern NY and interior portions of southern New England

From DT: MAJOR WEATHER DEVELOPMENTS ABOUT FEB MAJOR CHANGES AT 500mb ACROSS NORTH AMERICA WILL END MILD PATTERN MUCH SOONER THAN INTIALLY THOUGHT

Snow cover is disappearing fast!

Pics from yesterday:

I'm sure there will be some winter weather to be had moving forward. But to what extent remains to be seen. And the clock keeps on ticking as we inch closer to spring. I'm not sure it's time to punt yet. We need some reassurance that there is hope for the big paralyzing snow to satisfy our hunger.

Seems like a lot of disappointment on here this morning. Might be time to change the game plan.

It has basically been below freezing for a week now. My temp got to 33 yesterday, so that ground is cold to be sure.
