Should be more melting today in the sun since it will be 22.

Might get a 1-2” refresher here tomorrow. Gonna need it for sun angle season now.

Where do you get the snow depth data?

ORH seems to just have a series of M’s 

BOS doesn’t seem to show it

That’s a nice shot with the plane at final approach on runway 270.

Most airports don’t do snow depth anymore. Consequence of getting rid of full time weather observers and going to ASOS in the 1990s. Airports that still have an observer on site will have snow depth. Guess BDL has one again. For a long time they didn’t.

Everyone got fooled by this one. I just held on longer 

You mean.... Longest! Lol

Ha, at least you stuck to your guns and went down with that ship! I'm sure we all secretly hoped for a last minute change

Logan is lucky they have someone who measures never mind snow depth.

Some NWS offices call and ask the tower to measure, but not all seem to do so.  Mt Holly always gets measurements from TTN/ABE though neither has an observer anymore.  NYC though does not do the same at GON/HVN/FOK/FRG despite the fact probably they could get TWR staff to do it.  BOS/PHL/DEN/DTW all do not measure on the field for whatever reason so they never have SNINCR remarks or 4 groups.  My assumption is that none of them have good spots on the field to measure snow accurately.  They all use someone just off the airport grounds to do it.

Does this cold pattern bleed into spring and summer?  We have had a number of hot summers in the past 10 years.  Wondering if the mini split gets a rest this year.

Most developing El Nino summers are cool in the East.  I'd expect if we see the expected transition to at least a weak-moderate El Nino this summer would be below normal
