It should be nearly or completely vanquished by Thursday morning. dews in the low-mid 50's overnight tomorrow:

If you can survive that, then you might be able to retain it for a while afterwards.

There’s so much cold not far  away in Canada. Right thru end of Morch that PV just sits up there and models show cold up there. I don’t think we are done yet. Suggest we enjoy today 

You just said yesterday it’s done…or were you just playing along with Scott? 

[WinterWolf]

So much talk about melting snow….does it really matter…it’s comical. 

[dendrite]

It’s 3/10…still a month of threats to go. But we’re approaching the equinox and obviously anything we get will be gone relatively quickly.

Old snow is always the most difficult to melt.

It's basically close the shades for the next week, then hopefully something starts appearing on models for the last 1/3 of March. Not ruling it out, but pretty boring for the foreseeable future.

Don’t like it skip over it.

Not asking me ...but "month of threats" overstates that?  

The rhetoric should really be "month of diminishing returns, but that doesn't mean zero"   - that's painting a more realistic and fair picture, when factoring climatology, both standard and definitely CC-fixing. 

I can coherently sense these increasing limitations in the recent guidance tenors.

Lol. I only care about up north but Monday now looking pretty cutterish.  Hope it can start looking less amped next few days. Up in the ADK this weekend hoping for 3-6" Friday and semi decent skiing.

Yet another March with below normal snowfall.
At least last week got me a bit above my seasonal average.
If the rest of March is a shut out, it’s going to be hard to give this winter more than a B grade here.

"we" meaning in this area here

Aside, the post was about 'warm being defeated' ... some were using snow as the observational proxy in that, which was dumb and proves a filtration bias in the first place because it was warm yesterday. 

Frankly, I care less about the snow stuff anyway.  We did lose a substantial amount though.  It looks like half..

Agree on that....warmth is performing.

Yea, we can't buy a decent December or March....at the risk of having the thread discussion gravitate towards "you know that"...

Well not sure we’ll be shut ouT, but it’s  going to have to occur late month and that makes it harder…..especially in my area.

It's over down here....as someone who spent hours upon hours concluding that March would be fruitful this season, it's abundantly clear where this is headed for SNE...different story up there.

[CoastalWx]

If we get something, it seems like it will have to be almost an overrunning deal with the cold in Canada nearby.

Not going to be shut out technically speaking because most of the interior has snowed already this month.

I meant rest of the month, but yeah at least some of you guys have gotten 4-6” or so. Just half inch here.

[weatherwiz]

3km with some violence ripping across PA tomorrow. May even see some elevated thunderstorms move across SNE tomorrow night...pretty decent MUCAPE on the 3km

[HoarfrostHubb]

Slight chance of some snow on Saturday in far NW/NCentral SNE... but I wouldn't hang my hat on it

Shop Davis @ 61F , tempted to remove plow equipment, but can't, saving on heat that's for sure!

When I say "done"....you know what I mean...that may mean literally to some, but to me that means done with anything I'll give a rat's scrotum about.

Past 3 weeks has sealed this season's fate as suboptimal for me....Blizzard grazing me at the last moment, and then March shitting the bed daggered any shot of an "A".

This time of year I consider any chance of snow a literal “threat” to my enjoyment for the day. lol

The blizzard grazed me too which knocks the grade down a notch. If we get an April Fools type storm this month then I could give it a higher grade but right now I'm at B+

Yea, it's a solid "B" for me....the snowfall really wasn't impressive. The only reason it isn't a middling "C" is due to the degree and persistence of cold maximizing retention, coupled with the fact that the past several years had been so lean.

[CoastalWx]

84  south in CT might sneak into warm sector tomorrow aftn. Porked here.

Jeez Ray, give urself a break. I am @ 69.75", haven't seen those numbers in years! I am happy, yes only 6" in ASH for blizzard, oh well. You did well "I think" on your outlook. Current>65F(sad)

Oh, I meant the winter grade as far as quality of the season. You only had 6" in the blizzard? Yikes, never thought I'd feel "lucky" having gotten 11"  Sharp cut-off.

Congrats Wolf

As far as the seasonal outlook grade goes, it may also end a "B"...gotta see how much ground March helps me to make up in the temp department. The fact it's whiffing on snowfall actually helps me.
