With those cold SST’s , frozen Great Lakes and extensive NE snowpack spring and any warmth is a long long way away this year 

I also don’t think the long range pattern is conducive to sustained periods of warmth in the spring.

When was the last time it was?

Seems like a while now.

Let’s hope we at least get some fun winter weather before we descend into the sea of suck.

Any concerns for freezing fog tonight? Everything seems pretty damp already, wondering if that’s going to make things icy in the morning?

I know you want a dry spring but speaking as a member of my village’s water district board, I want qpf. I’d like it in the form of snow to add to a relatively dry pack but if it’s raining in spring, we’ll just have  to do that. Whatever it takes to keep our water levels up.

Yeah, I get it.  My drought fantasies are just selfish indulgence. We are definitely in a region wide QPF deficit.

Doesn’t bode well for spring probably. We typically don’t stein for too long around here so you know the cutoffs and 38F rain are just waiting to torture us for weeks once we hit April.

Lake Tahoe hasn’t seen a big storm in a while… signs that the pattern is shuffling after a month+ of consistency.

Might be really time to close the shades

First real snow eating fog.

Starting to feel like it's drawing to a close if this period doesn't result in much.

Snow in March is fairly unusual here. There's two months of any sort of dependable chances.
