MANDA

Green dust season will be here soon. Was visiting some friends down in Virginia last week and green dust all over the place. It is coming north.

Had two days here with .10" each and flakes in the air (T) on 4 additional days. Thankfully DJF delivered the goods. I was honestly ready to move on once March arrived so I'm not disappointed that the month greatly underperformed.

Had .20" here but I get your point. The .20" received here in March got me to an even 50" for the season.

Had a trace of snow on the deck again this morning. Temperature a too cold 20 degrees.

Some reported depth measurements as of this morning across Michigan Upper Peninsula, Northern MN.

Two day event total here was 1.33". Trace of snow on the deck this morning. Didn't see it fall but per radar the rain ended as a brief period of light snow or flurries overnight. Winds howled from late afternoon yesterday right up until daybreak. Sad to hear about the passing of Roger Smith who posted in this forum. Always seemed like a gentleman and a knowledgable guy. As someone pointed out he posted up until the day of his passing. We never know when we or someone we love will see their last sunrise or sunset. Embrace the day.

Huntsville, Alabama ! Hard to pull this off in the dead of Winter much less mid March! https://x.com/i/status/2033574638379299235 https://x.com/i/status/2033556967118008486

A thing of beauty right there !

Great read! Thanks! Once in a lifetime event that was. Especially in terms of the large area affected. Not to mention max wind speeds, sfc pressure, snow totals and gulf storm surge. Rouge event not to be repeated anytime soon on that large a scale. Not to say regional storms across the MA/NE won't pack a punch at times just not to the scale of 93.

https://x.com/i/status/2032158839710117932 To our south where it was in the m/u 80's in spots.

Had a burst of moderate snow for about 10-15 minutes. Per radar heaviest is over as back edge moving east. Back edge currently along the Delaware River crossing in western NJ counties.

32.4 degrees

It was moving along but the track as it was dry slotted most spots from eastern NJ on eastward. Scranton area had 35-40" of snowfall. Even NW NJ got 20-25" in spots. Those deformation bands were killer on areas that they affected to the west of the storm track. Shift the track from where it was to over eastern LI and I'm confident local spots in this sub forum would have had 30"+ with monstrous drifts. Some 40" amounts would have been possible from NW NJ into western CT. We'll obviously never know but the upside would have been huge with a track 20-40 miles to the east. The upper level pattern was loaded for bear.

36.5 here and have had periods of off and on light snow for last 90 minutes. Enough to "slush" the deck and slightly whiten some rooftops.

If that 93 storm evolution had just been a little further eastward, by like 20-40 miles the storm effects and snow totals for this sub forum would have rivaled 1888.

Nice to read the 1993 storm summary! That was one of the great ones. Still have the NGM DIFAX maps framed and on my office wall. Nice triple phaser!

Picked up .97" rainfall overnight. Vivid lightning and low rumbles of thunder with storms before mid-night. Still raining at 9am with a much colder temperature of 40 along with a gusty wind.

Check out the m/u 80's into northern VA and even into Delaware. Chilly eastern New England and LI and coastal NJ beaches.

So sorry. Heartbreaking. Hope each day gets a little better for you. Good memories last forever.

Max temps across NJ today: (click images to enlarge)

Local 80+ readings interior south and central NJ.

Sampling of some high temperatures across NJ today. Was a stellar day. Reached 70 here today. Can't beat it with a stick. Even the plowed mounds are fading fast in my neighborhood. Expect most to be gone by weeks end. Mall parking lots might take a little longer.

February and Winter Summary from NJ State Climatologist: Good summary and interesting stats. https://www.njweather.org/content/wash-rinse-repeat-february-2026-winter-20252026-recaps

I'll definitely take the over on +.8.

Rainfall last two days 1.66". Total since March 1 = 2.19". Good riddance to the road salt and dare I say good riddance to the snow cover as well. Down to about 1/2" here with 25% coverage. Plowed mounds are another story and it will likely take another week plus to get rid of the mounds on my street. Even longer for parking lot mounds which are still impressive. Looking forward to the coming warmth next week.
