The cat was meowing so went to see where he was at. Found him sitting on the bathroom windowsill. And looked out and wow there are so many stars shining tonight. Guess he was telling me to come look.

Still a wintry look with the remaining patches of snow.

Snow in DJFM, more than 20 days with snow otg, a long duration Arctic outbreak, and above avg snowfall for the season. Not sure what grade I'll give this winter but its going to be high.

I give it a golden winter award. Top 5 winter of my 47 year life. I was shocked yesterday when I was standing in intense snowfall rates. When the lightning streaked across the sky that was it. We received a golden winter award.

I’m gonna be the guy that says he misses the weather we had earlier this week. I’m super done with cold weather.

The only downside at all to this winter was that it had the potential to be even greater. Some very minor tweaks and we could have had 2 feet on Feb 2nd, and another foot for the mid month storm. Would have been 60+ days of snowcover. This was a PHD level winter but it had the potential to be a nobel prize, once in a lifetime winter

[kgottwald]

45 degrees but doesn't feel like it.

Why does a south wind feel so damn cold?

[Grothar of Herndon]

Wind is crazy right now. We sure do wind very well around here...

[Amped]

Wind is getting pretty nasty.

Back to the base state.

We always do wind well in March. Surprised there's no wind advisory IMBY though.

Got one here. Was just on a work call and I can hear my balcony furniture rocking (wind here has been legit), have the lawn care company cranking outside, and then an Alexa notification (figured it was a wind advisory).

[George BM]

Sky has a bit of a hazy look with an orange tinge to the sunlight.

I noticed that too. It definitely was kinda weird there. The wind just gusted pretty crazy here.

[North Balti Zen]
