I still have full snowcover from Jan 25. This was just taken

You didn't get rain on January 25?. 

[IronTy]

Are we back to the regime where it's gonna be cloudy for a month?

If this ferocious cloud deck can thin out, then those leftover mounds are gonna take a hit.

I'm starting to think this glacier in my backyard could be an issue this summer. It's been through a beating of snow eating fog, rain, nuking sun angle and still holding strong.

This is the Cal Ripken of snow cover. It’s gonna take a day off on its own terms.

I know  It's been awesome. It's been back to our regular humid, mild, couldy weather, but with a snowpack acting like it's susposed to be here until flowers come up.

I will say though that to my surprise one of the basketball courts near me is now 99% dry…which was actually surprising, though it does get some good sun (when there’s sun). Fog eating snow might actually be a thing. Really won’t be much left of this snowpack by next weekend.

Lot of snow melt today.

Tried to hike around the mountains south of Shenandoah and hit Crabtree falls. Unfortunately, it was located on the north slope which still had copious wet, slippery, and annoying sleet. I got .3 miles in before deciding it wasn't worth it. Instead I got some pictures of the country around which was a decent consolation prize.

Good morning from Grand Rapids Michigan where we are having a lovely lake effect thunderstorm this morning...I can't fucking win

[Interstate]

I have still managed keep around 60% snow cover but fading fast.

[MN Transplant]

All the snow left in my yard is in piles, so I’m officially a 0 snow depth today.  Great run.

 

Model battle for today.  Globals and the HRRR take us to the mid 50s at least.  NAM locks DC and north into the wedge with temps staying in the mid 40s.

You  should take a trip to Mammoth Resort. They have at least 4-5 feet of new snow.

If it makes you feel better it's not lake effect. Just a spring like frontal passage. The next line looks fun in a summer way lol

Cloudy, humid, foggy, mild here

Never bet against the wedge.

We are at that time of year where the difference in temp between work and my house near the South River can be as much as 10-15F difference. Driving home yesterday, I hit 54F on Rt50 and once I pulled into the driveway at the house, it was 44F. South river was still partially frozen in spots but should be gone in the next few days. Water temp still probably 33-36F though, so the cooler temps in the immediate neighborhoods will probably remain chillier than inland.
