Finally got a decent hit: squeezed out 0.67 for 0.87 for the three-day.  If I had just been a few miles east would have been pounded twice today.  

It's not gonna happen for me today; there's an invisible wall over I-40 that shreds every cell as it goes north.  Better luck this week I guess.

The I-95 corridor has been shafted so far.  I have 0.19" today, only 0.01 yesterday.

Edit.  Some nice cells starting to wander in from the south but as of now it looks like they're going to be juuuuust to the east.

That's more frozen precip than some winter weather events around here!

0.69 Thursday/Friday.  2.93 for the week.  Grass looking much better.

Got down to 37.4.  I wonder why the underperformance.  I noticed some clouds int he sky this morning.  Did some unexpected cloud cover develop?

What's the over/under on the RDU offset tonight?  Will they get below 37?

2.24" here.  Much needed.

The line split right over my house   Got .09 from this mornings crumbs   Better than nothing.

Ended up with 1.72 for the event

Best rain of the day here so far.  1.11" in the bucket

Got 0.92 in a short period.

Nasty looking squall line on the way

I’m not really in the mood but it’s likely going to be cold and miserable from March 15-April 1 so we might as well root for a fluke snow event. Even if it’s unlikely and probably just ends up some messy event that lets us down. 

Aren't you going to be enjoying the frozen tundra of Northern Vermont during some of that time?

Yeah... I do not know why you have to push your political opinion on people that come here for weather.  I know he was posting it in banter... but I come here to get away from the real world...not to have someone push their political views on me.

 

Also, he didn't delete his account... so he will be back.  You can look at his account, and see he logged in 50 minutes ago... more like a power type move that backfired.

His assertion is that there comes point where the "situation" becomes bad enough such that a desire get away from the real world is not ethically valid.  Obviously whether or not a situation has reached that point is a subjective judgment.  He judged that it had and acted accordingly.  You can disagree with the premises but the logic itself seems valid.  In any event he made his choice and i respect it.

I like every season in its time.  I feel very fortunate to have had a real winter this year (by SE standards) and I'll enjoy spring.

I'm actually impressed at how hard the snow has been hanging on in the shady spots.  That was a genuine winter interlude.  Would love to see the same precip and temps happen in late December next year!!

Mimosas...served by Jesus!  But I shouldn't bring religion in here (unless snow counts as a religion!). 

Jesus would make a mean Mimosa out of a glass of water.

We have now entered the time of year when you have to both be in a great pattern and get lucky.

Wait a minute, that's always true in the SE.  A great pattern just means our chance to fail goes from 99% to 90%

That does make a lot of sense when I think about it. And when we look at ocean warming in terms of absolute temperature instead of anomalies, it's easy to see how mid-latitude jets over both oceans would become anomalously strong as we've seen in recent years.

With the latitudinal temperature gradient shrinking as the poles warm how are the jets getting stronger?  That is what I can't understand.

We’re in Whistler skiing. It’s 38 degrees and raining. We have had a mix a few times on the trip, but we haven’t had straight up pure snow. It’s ridiculous. Now my youngest daughter is furious. She’s actually looking at flights home today. We’re coming home tomorrow night, so there should still be plenty, but it’s still not the same. My son keeps sending us all videos, but I told him to stop sending them to our 16 year-old because her day is pretty much ruined at this point seeing how much snow we have at home.
 

Ah, I guess cold in the east of NA, but warm in the west I guess.  I'm really sorry to hear that; that sucks.  No way you could predict that the one week you spend in Canada NC would get a snow.  

Light, beautiful snow in Wilson.
