Looks similar to the Euro, I'd toss the NAM for now but who knows lol.

Seriously who cares? Best we get will be a few inches and Friday is suppose to be in the 50's so it's not sticking around long. I think Wednesday it could be tough to stick on pavement anyways. Ground Temps got to be warmer now too.

I'm a huge snow lover as I'm a snow boarder and my family skis, but after the cold we had Friday and Today has gotten me into wanting warmer weather.

lol, well I guess at least I do. Warmth feels nice, but there is a storm to talk about still, and signals of another one next week. Once winter lets go of its grip and we hit sunny and 70s for days on end I'll stop posting about these things. Spring is my least favorite season, rather just go from winter to summer, and at that if we could stay 75 or lower all summer I'd be even happier.

Didn't mean to be a jerk lol

 

50 degree 36 hours later, 2 inches of snow really does nothing for me. I seriously would rather have all rain to get the salt off the sidewalk.

 

I guess each is there own, but after basically being stuck inside all winter with all the cold temps we have had, I am ready to be outside. Ill be honest, I hate Summer. I guess a little is ok, but 95+ is as bad as sub zero. I rather have 6 months of 50-60 weather, 2 months of warm, and 4 months of pure snow.

THIS WILL   SUPPORT THE ENEWD/NEWD DEVELOPMENT AND INTENSIFICATION OF A FRONTAL   CYCLONE FROM THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY TO THE ATLANTIC WATERS OFF THE   SRN NEW ENGLAND COAST. A STRONG COLD FRONT TRAILING SSW OF THE   CYCLONE WILL SWEEP EWD ACROSS THE SERN STATES AND MID   ATLANTIC...WHILE STRONG POLEWARD MASS FLUXES PRECEDING THE CYCLONE   ALLOW A WARM SECTOR TO EXTEND INTO PORTIONS OF ERN PA AND NJ.    ...THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC...   THE AIR MASS IN ADVANCE OF THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BECOME   MARGINALLY UNSTABLE -- E.G. MLCAPE AROUND 300-600 J/KG -- DURING THE   AFTERNOON.

Love to go out without a coat on. What a day.

Tomorrow it goes downhill....unless you like dramatic falling temperatures, wind rain then snow.

If this was november i would be obsessed with checking the radar to see if the rain snow line moves. Lets just say that I most likely will not be doing that. Interesting though that the Euro trended against us and the NAM for us.

Last year we had a nice storm at the end of March that dropped like 6 inches. I wouldnt be surprised to see these up down swings until mid April. How can you not like this weather Rit? It makes me want to golf or run and I hate cardio.

Well I don't dislike it, I am looking forward to to the drive home from work with the windows down. Wife has some windows in the house open so looking forward to that fresh smell of a breeze. Had my daughter outside to play yesterday evening, can't lie it was nice.

 

That being said, its going to get cold again so I'll embrace it. Everyone in the office is running around saying OMG I can't believe its almost 70, I couldn't help myself but bring to their attention the WWA and -10 windchill's tomorrow as well. Most think I'm crazy and it can't / won't happen. Like its their first March in WPA, hope they wear coats tomorrow lol

 

From a weather enthusiast standpoint blue skies and 60s and 70s isn't really tantalizing conversation. It's not worth discussing 500 posts about how it feels nice out, so I'll roll with the extremes that are going to come through tomorrow.

 

I'll always root for the cold over the warm, but to a point I want every season to have its place, although I don't mind if spring gets shafted a bit and we have a cooler than average summer.

I'm a snow weenie, but after 8 days of sub zero temp and car and sidewalk killed in salt. I'm ready for spring.

Btw, wrong place seems a lot of people feel the way I do. I say almost 80% of the CPA thread wants spring.

Ugh.....

In any case, on top of a hard flash freeze and probably a couple of inches of snow, looks like a pretty good squall line and good straight line wind potential with this storm.

Hopefully the signs pointing towards a storm next week come to fruition.

I'm trying to think of an instance of such varying wx conditions in a 24 hr span in this region.  I just took an hour walk in shorts, and by late PM tomorrow it will be SN or SN+ for a time with wind chill values in the teens.  Drastic to a T. 

I remember March 7-8 1995, it was 73 F on the 7th, and the next day we ended up with 6" snow.

Thats what I find so interesting. That drastic temperature drop will be fun to watch. I hope we go from heavy rain to S+ in the matter of a few minutes. Who knows, we might even get some thunder when the front goes through.

Its funny we have these temperature contrasts almost every year to some degree, but folks are sure it can't snow tomorrow when it was so warm today.

I said who cares in regards to models showing 2" of snow when it's suppose to 50+ 36 hours later.

Did you miss my apology to him also?

I don't know what your deal is with me. I seriously have never spoke a bad word to you. Ever since my map that went against what you thought you been after me.

I said before I don't know much about weather, but was told by a fellow poster this was a great board to learn.

Why don't we just ignore one another.

Yeah no hard feelings on my end. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and weather is a pretty relative thing from person to person. Its been a long winter so I get most people want to move on to Spring.

 

I know I've said it before, but I feel we have months and months of warm weather on the door step so I'm all for a late season snow if its going to continue below normal. If the weather was making a turn towards mild and we had some thunderstorms to talk about then I'd be for that as well at this point.

I'm the same way basically. I definitely enjoyed the past two days being warm, but if we still would have a shot at a significant snow storm then I'd still take it in a heartbeat. If we don't, then bring on spring. If we're going to just get more nuisance snows then I'd rather just have the warm weather and thunderstorm chances take over.

The way the pattern is looking, it looks like the cold is going to hang on for a while yet. If that ends up being the case, then a nice healthy late season dump is fine with me, even if it's gone in a couple of days from a warmup.
