Nyc was in their biggest snow drought on record. I wont begrudge their 21" of snow lol

Considering a near winter long snowpack just melted and ill be in the U.P. thurs-sat, can't complain about the timing

Sunday has piqued my interest for now.

Boston had been in a huge snow drought. I knew it was only a matter of time before they'd cash in. They received more snow January 25/26 than they did in the winters of 2022-23 & 2023-24 combined.

Snowdepth down to a T. Have had 62 days this season with 1"+ snowcover including 22 days with 6"+. Avg snowcover days for an entire season is 49. The snowmelt induced haze looked very eerie this morning.

There is definitely some merit to the Mar/Apr correlation of warm/cool or cool/warm. Its certainly not a guarantee. But in those few years where March is warm and nearly snowless, you can bet April will see accumulating snow.

I just dont get into it. Been a great winter for the cold/snowcover crowd in the Great Lakes, so while most of the public is ready for a break, I hate the sun and melting snow. I am going to the U.P. later this week though.

They issued because snow thats been on the ground all winter traps pollutants like road salt/exhaust/etc and its melting without aid of any wind and instead a temperature inversion, so those pollutants are hanging in the air instead of mixed out from the wind.

With the snowmelt indices hazy sir yesterday saw a very orange sunset.

This is why many Chicago weenies get annoyed with Steve's constant big dog whining acting like it never snows in SE MI when the exact opposite is true. Id be pissed too if I was sitting in Iowa or Illinois watching one snowfall after another hit Michigan with the consolation being hey, we got a 20" storm a decade ago and Detroit didn't.

There was heavy rain at DTW for several hours.

Or depression. Take your pick. Signed, snow weenie

Even though its been an excellent snowcover winter here, i always hate watching snow melt. Id say that even if i lived where Bo does and watched the last melt in May. The snowmelt and temp inversion is actually causing poor air quality today.

Actually this year is the opposite here. It feels like more snow has fallen because of the consistent deep snowcover. We had a few fluff events but a lot of times it was so cold that we were getting 10-12:1 powder. The 5.2" snowstorm on Jan 25th was like sand and it was so cold, it seemed more like an 8"+ storm. Definitely due for a couple quick melting snows in Mar/Apr to complete things (and of course hopefully a big storm lol).

Gradient pattern looks to be setting up for a bit for the far Northwoods. Interesting in that i was thinking/hoping for a 2007-08 esque gradient pattern during winter, but the persistent cold/NW flow had other ideas.
