  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I'm selling. Hard enough to believe the GFS will be right twice in a row (let alone once in a row).
  4. M'eh, by then it won't be cold enough to snow, but cold enough to not enjoy spring.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Clearly noticed this while shoveling; a lighter, fluffier snow on top of the base.
  8. Solid A. Don't forget the extreme cold. Seems too many years we chase our tails in the long range threads and get nothing to show for it. Outside of early Jan, did we ever have to look much more than a week out for winter fun?
  9. I'd have to call it an underperformer here, but no complaints or criticism of Mt Holly. We knew the banding would be the story. Get under one and you were golden. Also, the warm ground going in played a factor. It was snowing to beat the band here last night, that's why I was a little surprised to see I "only" ended up with 8-9". Silver lining is not having to dig out from 15"+.
  10. Damn! I'll see if I can return all those "It Can't Snow in MJO Phase 3!" t-shirts I had screened printed.
  11. Shoveling isn't as bad as I feared. Don't get me wrong, it's heavy, wet cement. But because the pavement was "warm" going in, snow didn't accumulate as well on those surfaces.
  12. Just the sight of those things brings back ptsd flashbacks to the nuns in grade school
  13. Not to be greedy, but hoping we can get an accumulating snow in March, even if it is just a sloppy inch or two. Not often we can claim accumulating snows in Dec, Jan, Feb and March -- it's like hitting for the cycle.
  14. Sideways cotton balls coming down. Neighbor across the street is shoveling. Cleared areas of his driveway already picking up a fresh coating.
  15. You be right up the street from me. We'll meet at Whelihan's when you're finished and pound some beer before your return trip Seriously, I haven't been out yet but guestimate maybe 9-10" from the window. My side street has be plowed and it's just blacktop this morning. Safe travels!!
  16. Really don’t have much to add other than to say sideways snow is my favorite.
  17. Looked out a little while ago and the trees & bushes look like they’ve been coated with powdered sugar
