Hopefully we can finally do away with the suppressive PV and put us into some good westerlies. The crushing PV will mean lousy back door front days especially if it sets up over Newfoundland.

I have a couple of sad icy/melt patches left in my backyard. They should be gone today.

Still is.

I have just over 19” for the season here so for me it’s accurate.

That’s what I call a rain/snow line.

Up to 60! First day in a very long time it’s been comfortable to be outside in a T-shirt. Last remnants of snow melting in my backyard.

52 here, barrier islands stuck at 43-44.

Summer is pure torture in the South. In TX where I lived it’s unbearable. 100+ every day and not dry heat. Dry heat is in the western third of the state far from the Gulf.

08-09 was a pretty underrated winter IMO. Nice 10” event on 3/1 too.

In Long Beach today, there's maybe one or two little piddly ice chunks left, at least on the north shore we have big ginormous ice chunks in every parking lot, street corner and my backyard! Spring will be nice when we hit 60s and the south shore is stuck in dank 40s. Hopefully it's not a bad backdoor front season.

Did you move yet? I’m at about 210’ just east of Rt 110, I’m usually a little cooler in the summer as a result.

Just have to laugh.

There was sooner or later going to be a stretch that nailed New England, Montreal, etc. Once the SWFE train starts in a Nina winter they get hammered. I can't think of the last time a pattern like this was good at our latitude, maybe 93-94 which is a once per century type winter and also would be warmer today. We need some kind of help from the southern stream for much of our snow, northern stream dominated patterns vary between bad and horrendous for snow south of I-84 and the fast Pacific jet makes it even worse. Plenty of dry windy cold though. February was/has been decent but could've been so much better.

Maybe we can catch up to Norfolk!! One can dream!

About 0.7-0.8”. Still light snow but should be about over. So that gets me a little over 19” for the season.

Big flakes now too.

Wow, really coming down. Nice band in W Suffolk, maybe it’ll pivot in to Nassau. Hopefully can get an inch, maybe the 1.4” needed to get to 20” for the season.

Coming down at a good clip here.

Flurrying.

Maybe today can be our last sub-32 high. One can hope.

RAP has about an inch and we’re seeing snow break out in E PA. Not expecting much but we’ll see. I need 1.4” to get to 20” on the season which takes it out of the bottom of the gutter snow wise.

Looks like 10-11” of snow in the Norfolk/VA Beach area.

Temps in Norfolk are in the upper 20s in heavy snow, when those are our conditions we do the same. Problem is we’re on an island surrounded by water and we haven’t had the pattern lined up in our favor in quite some time.

Seeing the frozen ponds enough to play hockey on and ice on the bays was good this winter, haven’t seen that in probably 10 years here. But like you said, 20 years ago that would be a normal winter.

Long Beach had 10-11” of paste on 3/21/18 and 6” on 4/2/18. I know that’s a once in a couple decade scenario but we both know what a snow pit that area is. It was 2003 but snow accumulated perfectly fine in the city on 4/8/03. It’s a matter of getting the heavier rates overhead and temps below 32 if possible.
