Ended up with a dusting overnight.
-
Heavy snow shower out there currently. 32 degrees.
-
Down to 33 now with nickels and quarters coming in waves that last a few minutes.
-
Yes. It's 36 degrees with snow/graupel.
-
Models have been bulls-eyeing your area for a few days now.
-
Thank you, it could've been worse. There were a few gusts that literally vibrated my floor/walls.
-
My back porch roof lifted off enough to need replacing and there's half a dozen trees down. I usually don't get winds as bad as other areas but when they are from the due south there's a gap in the mountain that it really roars through. Last night they were in the perfect direction for that.
-
I'm honestly not sure if my roof is going to make it. My back porch roof is probably going to be needing replaced for sure. It calmed down some between 8 and 10 but it's ramped back up to full blast now. An 80 foot pine is down in my lower yard already. I'm most stunned my power is on. I guess the last big wind event may have cleaned out all the loose trees.

I'm up to house shaking status on the wind front now. My peak gust has been 61mph.
-
I'm sustained S at 25 with a 50mph gust in the 5 o'clock hour.
-
The wind is intense here. It's been raining down tree limbs all day.

The Euro has widespread 20s towards next weekend. If this were early to mid April most would be done with them, but I expect freeze threats until at least then.
-
The GFS joined the Euro with some potential snowy hi-jinks to welcome met spring. As was noted, virtually all decent March/April snows over the last 50 years featured a cooperative or at least non-hostile pacific and MJO in Phase 2/3. It looks like we may be hanging out in 2 around the time the snowfall is showing up on the models.

In March of 75 we'd had a 2.5 inch snow on the 2nd/3rd. A potent cold front rolled through with rain to snow. It was 28/13 here on the 3rd. I know SWVa had 3 inches or so from that one too. We were in the teens several mornings in a row leading into the 10th but warm in the afternoons. It was an extremely wet month. We had over 13 inches of precipitation in March of '75. 6.2 inches of that fell in a couple of days right after the 5.5 inches of snow that fell on the 10th.

It doesn't surprise me that most spring events were favorable in the Pacific. It's hard to get cold enough here in spring or fall for snow without the Pac blocking driving the cold into the region.
