My high so far is 48F, but I think temps are expected to rise as we approach midnight. 1.30” in the bucket for the week. -

Glad I didn't get out the patio furniture or fill up the pool when I heard the first 10 days of March were gonna torch. -

Phone now showing 72F on 3/11. I’ve lost 8 degrees in 24 hours. -

I like where we sit this far out…NW of the jackpot zone. Plenty of time for it to adjust our way -

Yeah, I think most of us understand with each passing day, our chances of accumulating snow decreases. But there's this notion going around that snow can't accumulate after March 1st. FOOK...I've had hail accumulate in July -

Ya gotta admit, it's a bold prediction stating that temps will warm up as we enter spring. Since we're making gutsy predictions, here's mine... The Flyers ain't winning the Stanley Cup this year. Ya'll can tell me how brilliant I am come June for sticking my neck out like that -

I didn't see anything frozen fall, but there's a light coating of crud on my car's windshield. -

September is only 6 months away, 189 days until Labor Day! Kids will be back in school, the NFL will be getting underway and Lowe's & Home Depot will have Christmas decorations out! We'll be tracking again before long! -
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.
