Late Feb/March Medium/Long Range Discussion
wxdude64 replied to WinterWxLuvr's topic in Mid Atlantic
Yep. I've given up skiing years ago. However, I still LOVE cold and snow. Snowshoeing, snowmobiling and just general outside hiking are things I like to do now. I managed to get my deeper snow 'fix' being in Park City couple weeks ago. -
Currently 36/32.2 out there. Hit 70 degrees on the money yesterday. I seem to remember a slightly different outcome from 31 years ago....

Are you talking about sitting down, enjoying a gourmet meal.... at a place that's REAL special?? -
A chilly start at 27.6 degrees here, least the wind is only blowing at 2 mph from WSW. Had a 37 mph gust around noon yesterday, then slowly they died back during afternoon to a more reasonable 10-25 range. I don't keep wind 'records', (I only report/record when winds go above 25 mph, I feel that is a threshold that most people start feeling uncomfortable with), but I have to question "the least windiest winter" thing.

But we do it so EXTRA, EXTRA well.
-
Winds still roaring here this morning. Just had a 35 mph gust about 5 minutes ago from NW. Highest wind recorded was 47 mph around 11 pm last night. Lots of 40+ mph gusts yesterday late afternoon thru midnight.
-
On and off flurries here most of afternoon. Gusty and blustery are the words to describe today.
-
Just glanced at gauge, looks like .37 or .38 from this far away since 7 am.
-
Well, two really long rumbles of thunder in last couple minutes at 42 degrees....gotta love March.
-
Yep, rain and 42.5 here, colder than 7am CoCoRaHS reporting time.
-
Got home last night about 8 pm. Put 5500 miles on the car in 11 days (an oil change is planned for later today + a good scrubbing). Saw temps range from 70's to single digits, sun/wind/rain and snow. Overall a great trip, but boy do several states need to work on their roads!! (I'm looking at you IN and IL! Arizona gets a consolation prize for 3rd place.)
-
So got to spend the last 36+ hours with my son AND enjoy a good bit of snowfall. Only 10 inches has fallen where he lives, but up on the mountain they reported 18-20 inches. LOTS of drifting with the 30-50 mph winds. He has a weather station on a 5 foot pole in the side yard that you could see the top 8-10 inches of the pole, now gone lol.

Got into Park City around 7 pm. This hopefully helps cure my 'snow drought' from last couple of years.
