Had hail in Ivyland earlier this afternoon. Wicked storm.

Can't wait for our bone dry scorching post Nino/pre Nina summer

Another graupel squall here at home in Ivyland now. 35F. Light coating on grass and cars.

At mid county interchange at 476 and there is a light accumulation, would call it a solid .2"....36F

Ok Ji

Snow squall in K.O.P. 40F

We track on....

You stole my Feb snow, I'm stealing your March snow.

That little convective cell was the culprit:

And like that precip stopped, temp shot up to 45F, and sun is breaking thru. Gusty.

And like that big flakes mixing in with the sleet, 30% snow, 70% sleet. 39F temp dropped 2 degrees in 4 minutes. Sunshine off in the distance.

Sleet downpour in Ivyland currently! 41F

All meso guidance on board with some convective snow showers/squalls scattered throughout the region later tomorrow afternoon/evening:

That's a new England look mid season, let alone down here for us in late March of a waning Nino. I'm with PSU, show a couple GFS/Euro runs in a row of snow and I'll bite. This look won't do it for us. Adjust that trof about 250 miles further S.

Watch us get blitzed next season in a twisted turn of expectations.

Mezcal was my poison back in my 20s. I always fought for the worm in the bottle. Always seemed to contain a hallucinogenic component to it.

Taking up drinking for lent. On a tequila kick lately. Sipping on the Casamigos attm...not horrible, but there are better if you are willing to spend the $

Still there....dated 3/2/24

Just saw on my Google New feed headline that Philadelphia is bracing for a major late season snowfall next weekend. Can one of you fine folks please clue me in on what I might have missed? Thank you.

1% bro.....one. percent.

Always been a believer that the earth has a way of balancing itself out naturally. Sometimes gradually over time...years, decades, centuries, eras....other times thru extreme sudden events. PSU had been poking tongue in cheek about underwater volcanoes. Ironically,an article surfaced in my news feed the other morning about Yellowstone. I wonder if something like that supervolcano (even tho some some scientists dispute that it would ever erupt) would spark a sudden reversal wrt to the elephant? I mean, we've all read the articles about how warming supposedly has created more extremes and shifts in weather. Will something this extreme be the balancing act someday? They don't know how long effects would last but scientists seem convinced it would lead to a nuclear winter scenario. I dunno, just throwing my thoughts/$.02 in the pot if this hasn't been offered as a scenario already. The earth balances itself out over time in mysterious ways.

Winter theme items taken down around the house today, St Patrick's flag flying now in lieu of the "Let it Snow" flag of the last 3 months. And right on script, the first Daffodil bud of the season popped as well.

Beautiful coastal on the euro for next weekend. Seems we do this every March..."where was this look 3 weeks ago?".

Toss the MJO in the dumpster as well. Didn't really reflect historically what we would expect given the phase. Another overrated/understudied tool wrt east coast winter weather.
