This weather sucks. Is it gonna be cold and cloudy every day, for the whole month? Probably not. But, this weather we're in right now is exactly that, and it sucks big time. it will warm up by the end of next week probably.

Oh boy. Its still snowing lightly here. We had about 4 inches per hour PLUS for about three hours straight early this afternoon. We had a couple instances of thundersnow, although i'm pretty sure there was tons of thunder/lightning in the MoCo/HoCo deathband. 20.5 inches of snow, with blowing and drifting in my driveway. Then I woke up.

Well, it's almost April 1st. Tomorrow, possibly the biggest April snowstorm for the DC - Baltimore and the Delmarva region is nearly certain to occur tomorrow, with over a foot of snow in northeast Maryland projected by the CRAS and the NAVGEM models. Buckle up people. We thought winter was over 2 months ago. At least it will be 60s and 70s right after the snowstorm for highs, marking the start of actual spring. Blizzard warnings have just been posted for much of eastern West Virginia, and the temps are in the upper teens here as of right now.

DCA + 2.9 NYC + 3.0 BOS + 1.3 ORD + 1.9 ATL + 3.5 IAH + 2.7 DEN -0.1 PHX + 0.8 SEA - 0.5

And then seconds later, magically, a hand appeared out of nowhere, came out of your phone screen and stole the bottle from you

April going to be cold yet again?

This has to be the biggest event other than 9/11 in my lifetime, or the crash of 2008 including the swine flu pandemic a year later. Ever.

Also am I seriously gonna have to deal with backdoor cold fronts yet again this spring? Isn't april supposed to be warmer than normal this year?

Since when did Delaware have mountains? This was from this week's episode of Homeland.

Lol

Hottest temperature of the year so far here. 82 degrees and humid. It couldn't possibly drop 30 degrees in 24 hours, right?

Happy first day of Spring 2.0 folks. Edit: Didn't realize I'm sitting on the edge of a backdoor cold front, which IMO is one of the most annoying things about weather in spring but also the most interesting. It's like 80 in southern VA

U.S cases are just 10 away from 9,000 confirmed cases. Currently sitting at 150 deaths nationwide.

Total worldwide cases are at 198,895, and 7,970 deaths worldwide. Just 30 away from 8,000 and I believe we should hit that in the next couple hours. We will probably be at 200,000 worldwide confirmed cases before midnight.

There's been around 8,000 new cases over the past 12 hours. Edit: Worldwide

If the current handling of the coronavirus in the U.S doesn't end the Trump administration for good, I don't know what will.

"It found as many as 21 million people might need hospitalization, a daunting figure in a nation with just about 925,000 hospital beds." - The Hill https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/487489-worst-case-coronavirus-models-show-massive-us-toll There is a serious lack of hospital beds in the U.S according to The Hill, which would probably spell disaster for the U.S. Trump admitted a few years back that he cut back on the pandemic response team, apparently as well:

All schools in Delaware have now closed for 2 weeks.

The NYC forum has already started a 2020-21 winter countdown thread

I am reporting light rain and 39 as well

Saturday looks like it may be our last frost of the season based on the weather forecast. Still a chance of frosts later in march and the 1st week of April, but it shuts off after that. This year it may shut off within the next 2 weeks.

What's your prediction for the coming summer? I predict that a cloud is gonna form somewhere in the U.S.
