I’m not quite there yet, but I’ll be pulling for warmth soon if we can’t get snow/ice production going again. We’re on the Climo clock anyway down here. March can be a very wintry month but after the 15th or so it becomes tough sledding.
That was interesting. IIRC that Memorial Day weekend was miserable though.
I appreciate that it hasn’t been a blowtorch, but every time a southern city verifies what would be a warning level event here—when I’ve gotten nowhere close—the season loses a letter grade. First New Orleans & Pensacola. Now Virginia Beach. It’s unacceptable.
I mean I was prescient enough to cancel winter in January. But 70s and sun is nowhere around the corner so we might as well hold onto pack as long as the cold is around.
I think it’s just another tool in the toolbox. It rarely ever leads. In my tropical tracking, it led the way with Beryl’s landfall zone but that’s about it.
Honestly, we need less eye candy and just continued production. I can live with 2-4, 3-5” events every few days that build on the current glacier. Although reaching climo is probably lost to some of us, I don’t think wintry events are done in SNE.
Weird year. I want to give it an F but I don’t know if I can given the snowfall retention, white Christmas, and below zero temperature in January. I’m still sub 20”.
32.3°
Neighbor used their snowblower to clear the sidewalk…and unfortunately threw all of the dirt and muddy water right on top of my previously pristine pack.
It looks like a Scooter streak across my front yard. The watery and poorly timed kind.
Everyone here is a weenie whether they admit it or not. I know we kid a lot but it is tough to have a bad winter. For me, it’s all the more reason to enjoy whatever comes.
Pretty awesome ice event. 29.7 and climbing slowly, but if there’s no more accumulation I had 2.3” of snow and .7 of sleet/flat ice measured on a flat surface. About .2” of ice on my branches.
