I pop in just to see what’s going on and no surprise the same characters are still tracking ghosts god love ‘em.

70° on the nose. First of the year, thank God.

It’s still early, but I haven’t really seen much to change my thought that this season will “cool” to something closer to normal.

The best severe by far is on the front range of Colorado or in Kansas where there’s literally nothing but an occasional homestead or cow.

Truly truly wonderful I have to find the original image lol I only have a copy right now.

Huge fire on Long Island with the smoke plume showing up on radar.

With respect to those still tracking wintry chances, now that we’re in March I figured it’s time to fire up the grading thread. It’s another F for me, although the very wintry period and glacier in February, along with below zero temperatures here in central CT in January made that F a little harder to get to. Still, however, I ended up sub 20” of snow again and somehow worse off than last year. Even when I canceled winter in January my prediction for snowfall for the rest of the season was too optimistic which is insane. Good years will return eventually, but of the last seven here, only one got close to climo.

I can’t wait for the rubber band to snap back. I had a tortured relationship with this winter lol but I always genuinely appreciate any chance for wintry wx. I take nothing for granted.

Ok I’m going to get serious here. I know there’s a lot of apprehension right now, but one of the best lessons I’ve learned in life is this: what seems like a crossroads or inflection point today is often a footnote in your story years later. You should be immensely proud of what you’ve accomplished, and excited for your life and career ahead. I know you know that life and careers aren’t a straight line and certainly not as illuminated a path as we hope, but you will find your place, even if it takes a little time. Be encouraged, enjoy your final semester, and remember that hard work, openness to challenge, determination, and just being a good person that people want to be around can take you a very long way.

OH MY!

Interesting season. I doubt I see more meaningful snow but I had the longest snow cover since 2021. This year was more enjoyable for a time but had less snow than last year. I canceled winter in January but was like 50% too optimistic on snow for the rest of the season. March will probably be a torch for a time here followed by cold and rain into April lol.

And you know the sweet relief of the reaper’s blade is soon to arrive when we’re grasping at the CRAS and SREFs!

Let’s keep it going.

I, for one, am VERY upset that I was not mentioned by name. I knew I should’ve reaped you when I had the chance. I came to this place because it was an opportunity to share my love of wx with others and despite the absurdity of this place the fundamental love of wx is what keeps me here. Cheers
