Off topic, but can someone lock the Winter thread since it is meteorological Spring so we're not posting about the same thing in two threads? TIA.

Damn Warm people creating new Spring threads too early! It's Winter damnit! We are not METS so continue winter! I'm glad it's in the 40s/drizzle and overcast and hope it continues! Hell, we only receive a solid 2-3 month of possible cold/cloudy/snowy winter weather per year so why are these idiots want to rush into Spring? June, July and August I understand but early March? F-that! Hope this spring is cold. miserable and damp!

You need to have quite a few things come together for a solid March snow. Not saying it can't happen, but more elements need to be in place. 

I remember a few solid April snows one not too long ago. 

Yeah, I think most of us understand with each passing day, our chances of accumulating snow decreases. But there's this notion going around that snow can't accumulate after March 1st. FOOK...I've had hail accumulate in July

GFS is hilarious, we get back door cold fronted this entire weekend now. First truly warm day isn't until Tuesday then we get backdoored again on Wednesday. Watch us not even hit 70 on this stretch now lol

In 2026, the first day of astronomical spring (vernal equinox) in the Northern Hemisphere is Friday, March 20, at 10:46 a.m. EDT.  I expect a ton of backdoor coldfronts, foggy days and miserbale cold/cloudy drizzle  rains in the next month.  A 70 degree day with sun will be a rarity until the pattern changes in late March. Would not be suprised to see overruning mixed precip events the next two weeks too with 3-6 wet snows.  We have not even had a dafodill snow event yet let alone a tulip/onion snow and posters are saying that winter is over. This what I have to say about that https://www.google.com/search?q=john+belusho+germans+bombing+peral+harbor&oq=john+belusho+germans+bombing+peral+harbor&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIICAEQABgWGB4yCAgCEAAYFhgeMg0IAxAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBBAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBRAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMg0IBhAAGIYDGIAEGIoFMgcIBxAAGO8FMgoICBAAGIAEGKIEMgoICRAAGIAEGKIE0gEKMTQ3MzhqMGoxNagCCLACAfEFvcZ-XV7KWAI&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:6c04cf49,vid:V8lT1o0sDwI,st:0

Serious question. Would you say the same thing about a winter thread on December 1st?
