I’m curious to see where we go from here. Last winter didn’t suck and this year was really good. Not saying every winter for the next decade or so will rock, but maybe we’re finally digging out of this crap pattern we’ve been in since 2016. A weenie can dream.

The only thing keeping me from adding a "+" is this last storm was a high-end SECS/low-end MECS imby...coming in around 8-9". But it certainly was an A+ winter for many posters in our forum.

We need the rain, but I wouldn't mind a mild, dry March so I can do yard clean up before mowing season gets underway.

Models always sniff out the big warm ups early

I haven't seen snow melt this fast since Feb 2006...lol! Much of this weekend's gains have been wiped out, exposing the crusty underlayer from January's storm that remain.

Can't remember the last time our winter obs thread reached 100 pages. Anyway... A significant warm up followed by more below freezing temps later in March would be bad for the trees. Junk & stuff would start to bloom only to be damaged by a return to winter-like temps. I'd rather do a slow and steady warm up as March progresses, but we know that's not how things work around here.

I'm selling. Hard enough to believe the GFS will be right twice in a row (let alone once in a row).

M'eh, by then it won't be cold enough to snow, but cold enough to not enjoy spring.

Picked up a light dusting here, 31F.

That's why I'm usually hesitant to root for arctic cold -- it's tends to be a dry regime suppressing storms to our south. At least we got a good storm going in so we had snow cover for weeks on end. There have been years where is just frozen, bare ground.

You're giving up early, you usually hold out until May Had a few passing sun flurries. First, I thought it was just junk blowing off the trees. Nope. They were the for real real kind.

Is there such a thing?

Wasn't he another one saying no storm?

Seems like the windiest part of the storm in my backyard is now.

Marked my calendar for next year!
