Daylight Savings Time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. So the earliest it could ever change in March is the 8th.

it's mid February, so I do my usual check in here to catch up on the latest winter threats. I see a page of geography. Not a good sign.

Nothing compared to some of you but my upwind neighbor has a bunch of locust trees. I now have several thousand of those big ass seed pods covering my yard. Man I hate those trees.

Yeah, I agree with that but holy shit, just slow the eff down. It's not THAT hard.

I swear Lancaster County has the worst drivers on Earth. 32 accidents on the 911 list, 3 with entrapment. Wtf?

When it comes to forecasts, most locals I talk to or overhear usually cite output from WGAL or WHTM (and rarely, the NWS, sadly). I'm guessing most of our family, friends, coworkers, etc know we're weather weenies and look to us as "being in the know". So when you provide the latest to them, what's your method? Average the latest model runs in your head and customize a forecast? Weight output from the NWS a little heavier? A favorite source here or elsewhere? Don't touch the subject with a ten foot pole?

Didn't Accuweather have forums at one point? I seem to recall they were a train wreck but don't remember the specifics.

Micro flakes here but flakes nonetheless.

Cumulative GFS 200+ hr so far this season (not sure if Kuchera or 10:1 )

LWX downgraded the Maryland border counties to a WWA. 2-4". Not a great sign for any last minute northern creep.

Looking over CTP winter event history, the most recent significant ice storm around these parts was January 1, 2021. January 1st 2021 Ice Storm

Traffic accident extravaganza down this way this morning. 14 right now on the 911 Incident list. Be careful out there.

Forecast for Punxsutawney tomorrow is cloudy. Looks like you and Mitch are going pretty far out on a limb in using models versus a rodent.

In less than 24 hours, great to see POTUS has already found the root cause that being DEI. The bottom is calling asking if we're there yet.
