Down to 28 this morning.

If winter isn't over, the fat lady's warmup is now ramping up a few octaves.

Discouraging to see good mets in the New England forum waving the white flag now.

Don’t worry, next model run they will change their tune, lol, they waffle just like everyone else.

Surprising low of 32 this morning in Marysville.

I am looking forward to our warm up the next few days.

Well there's at least 2 that I've never once seen "waffle" - doesn't mean they're right but I think you're being a little too dismissive just because they don't fit your narrative.

AC will be humming this afternoon. Got up to 71 in the house yesterday and I'm not down with that nonsense again today.

Even though there's still opportunities for snow still to come for the next 40 days or so, Winter is basically on life support now. Spring is trying to takeover. And we should all welcome it after those brutal temps we all experienced for 3 months.

I admit that yesterday was exceptionally nice to be outdoors. And it was obvious judging by the throngs of people on local trails that many, many people were feeling the same way.

Having said that, I'm sorry but I found nothing brutal about this winter. I enjoyed every single bitterly cold day we had and I won't apologize for it.

2nd severe threat of the very young season already:

Lol'in at the back and forth with the 

its over.....

no....it's not

this met is waving his flag, so it must be....

Its been cold, must welcome the warmth.

Friendly reminder to all sans bias....

1. It's over when Mo Nature says so.  Always has been always will be.  

2. Like it or not, plenty of signs have been showing for the St. Pattys period for shenanigan's.  Doesn't mean snow, but it'll be a kick in da arse cold compared to the spring fling we all are about to enjoy. 

3.Even those of us who love snow and cold. Yesterday was nice to be outside. That's undeniable no matter how big a sno hound one can be.  

4. Someones "ex" favorite met tossed some weather cookies of his own and blew some events (due to his bias, or just getting the call flat wrong?) 

5. It's March 9. Mets and maps have all been wrong enough this year for me to discount nothing.  Last weeks ens guidance said winter was over whle Ops said hold my beer.  Look where we are a week later.  PLENTY of cold/snow showing up.  

6. for those anxiously waiting for spring warmth, you can wish it on all you want but that wont change the date on the calendar.  Your time is coming but for your sanity's sake, tug back on the reins a bit.  

Ok....carry on.

31 degrees and a frost. Next week, just deal with what Mother Nature sends us.

River at a warning level so no fishing yet this year.
