Wet snow mixing in now.

Rain and wind, 36

GYX not bullish on BL temps or dynamics up here, at least anywhere near the coast. They're leaning toward cold rain.

Hearing from a few non-weather-weenie co-workers in the Boston area who are excited to see snow for a change.

"Long duration event with high QPF totals" should definitely be part of the fraud group if it's not already. Seems to happen time and time again: there's talk of days and days of snow, and then the event arrives and it ends up being a few hours of meaningful snow. This storm morphed from 8-12" over 36 hours - leading to event cancelations 48 hours out - to 2-4" in about 6 hours. Yes we'll have light snow/mix for the rest of the day and maybe another period of light accumulating snow tonight, but the high-impact portion of this event was extremely short-lived.

Also crazy low dews in the southern Rockies. I remember skiing Taos on a sunny 50-degree March day back in 2000 and being amazed at how good the snow still was - not slushy, and almost powdery. Nothing like skiing on corduroy and then having beers on the deck in shirt-sleeves. Gotta remember the sunscreen though.

Skeptical about a snowy March in the mid-Atlantic? Bold strategy Cotton.

Yep, nice little burst here left a dusting. My 17YO son said it was actually a little hairy driving home.

CAR posted about reports of this from their area earlier this evening.

Boston Public Schools closed for tomorrow.

There is a winter version of the heat-and-humidity thing. It's "But with the WIND it will feel like ___."

I've been struck by that too. There haven't been any freak shorts-and-t-shirts days, but we've had lots of 40s for highs and the nights have been very mild. Even during our "cold" stretches here when we've managed to get some snow, we've rotted at right around freezing.

You're absolutely right. And as you know, there's been a recent spate of unhoused deaths due to suspected foul play. Portland, like a lot of cities, has a real challenge on its hands - and a stretch like this will be very dangerous. I'd imagine that they're planning and mobilizing now.

I just love the dismissive “it’ll never happen” posts. What a way to go through life. And why are you on a board for weather enthusiasts?

All the talk about a flash-freeze with plummeting temps tonight, and we're still hovering in the 30s. Forecast low has inched from the mid-teens to lower 20s. Cold seems to find a way to underperform at every turn.

Now back to mid-30s with wind shift, but will likely head back toward 40 as the day goes on. Pack is solid and saturated.

Got the CT treatment on this one. Super soaker - over 2" of rain. 44

I’d love to see that scrolling along the bottom of my TV screen.

Yep - always the danger when you're riding the fence in this type of pattern, especially this close to the coast. At least it looks like I wont' be clearing 4+ inches of waterlogged snow from my driveway.

Well that was fun. Already light rain at 34. So much for the front-end thump and late-night changeover. Got maybe half an inch of snow.

26 here with a DP around 24. Hope we can make hay for a while.

At this point I'm just hoping to avoid several hours of heavy rain.

Ha - similar here. Deep winter here starting last Friday - aside from the lack of really cold air. One thing I did like about those mega-threads was that there was a member from MD (I think; wish I could remember his name) who would post a bunch of great radar and satellite imagery as a storm approached. He may still do that, but I'm never in the Mid-Atlantic threads.

Ahh, yes. What a cluster
