Agreed and I’m also ready for sun and warmth. .

I think someone just mentioned how good it’s been NW of the city, and I think I’m actually due west. Anyway, bonkers amounts of snow here this month. I think we’re around 46” for the month. Roughly 58” (!) for the winter. Only thing we didn’t have this year is a reading below 5°. [emoji2371] .

Very pretty. Also... I’m done. 45” in a month? tyvm, I’ll go home now. .
-
I agree. Just has that feel. I’m going on nothing more than anecdote here. .

Nice enjoyable wintry morning. I hope this is the final storm of the season. -

One of those surprising years that Morristown gets hit hard repeatedly. Snowing again and again here. Over 40” now for the month. Bonkers stuff. My eleven year old stuff would have gone out of his mind. This is the closest I’ve seen to a 1994 redux here, sans the coldest air, which this time was in Texas. I’m ready for Spring. .

I think @MMU we're at about 48" for the year, so I'm cool with things being done after this. -

Still one of my all-time favorites. . -
Damn it, you’re right. .

My mind's in the gutter... j/k, thinking of how thankful I am for today's nice weather and a nice clearing and majority melting of my roof and gutters from the ice and snow. It's such a nice sound and feeling when you get those first hints of springlike warmth (50 degrees after the past few weeks - (with sun!) counts). Still have a bit to go, but it was nice to remember that spring will be here sometime.

Worked up? It would be nice if it were tranquil and not muddy. I’m ready to get out and work in my yard with this guy. .

My guess (completely unscientific) from watching the weather for 35+ years is that the models take a snapshot in time, and project that snapshot forward within a timeframe, but can’t yet fathom where items ok the board will completely and accurately be at certain intervals in the future. It’s that cone of uncertainty. .

The parking lot of the Trader Joe’s and Dunkin’ in Florham Park looks like it might not melt until Easter. .
-
Probably in the minority here, but I’m just about ready for it to melt. We’ve had a nice run of over 3’ here in the month, and my backyard is under a ton of crusted over snow. Hoping for a nice stretch of sun and 45 degree temperatures to commence a gradual melt after this week. .

You guys are all much further north than I am, but I agree with you 100%. Granted, the city and the shore have different climates than inland areas, but man, we have had a lot of snow and cold the past 25+ years that people conveniently forget. .

I love good snowstorms... but I abhor ice and very wet snows that take out power. I’ve lost power in the cold twice: October 2011 snow and March 6, 2018 snow (a foot and a half here)... and the house gets cold, fast. Extreme weather that takes out your power and convenience sucks. End of story. .
-
That’s great. Bet you’re thankful now for it. .
-
Some have the issue more pronounced than others. Easy to see now with the cold and who is melting and icicle formation. .
-
Check out the insulation in the spring. You’re likely under insulated at the corners of your roof, allowing heat to escape and melt the under layer of the snow, thus contributing to icicles. .
-
Yes, that and removing snow where you can that will melt and refreeze, causing an ice dam when the inevitable warmup and rain occur. I took a snow rake to parts around my gutters today. .
-
I’m worried about your gutters. .
