Well, we got the epic psu event yesterday that partially verified and now we have the great @Heisy storm he has been touting between March 4 and 10 iirc. And Bastardi says a March 1993 is looking likely. So be patient and buckle up. 

I haven't checked in on Bastardi in a long time. Sounds like he's up to his same old antics. Need a storm to start mid-late afternoon then get power hammered overnight and out of here by 7-9am... then gusty winds and maybe a heavy duty afternoon squall to end things...

I just did the most I possibly could to ensure we get at least one more major snowstorm this season:

I put my snow boots back into storage.

One more? Where was the first?

I am ready for some good squall lines and nice boomers. I am done with cold and bs glitter snows. The LR models are horrendous. All LR models go back and forth to secs events to nothing on every other run. Just give us a 3 day moderate rain  at 50+ degrees and end this shit now.

We're at the last gasp of winter. For me, it's pretty much overnight storms or bust. Stuff isn't going to stick during the day unless super heavy rates. Overnight the ground is a little more forgiving. But damn, we had the cold weather this winter but not the moisture. Probably vice versa next year just to kick us in the balls once again....

32F/Sunset

The sun is like a million billion giggawatt lazer beam today no shoveling needed, south facing lawns visible again. 30F you would think it was 60F.

 

Yeah, snow only in shady spots w/some mounds still around. Shopping lots still have small to mid-size glaciers.

I imagine we'll get one more BS small nuisance then that's all she wrote this year...

33F/Breezy

I want no rain whatsoever thru November then flooding epic rains and 33f from dec-feb next year with a 1"snow march "eff you" thing 

I'll definitely take a drought summer in return for a snowier winter but of course nothing's guaranteed. Good things about a drought summer, no lawn cutting. Basically yellow dried out hay that doesn't grow. If you own a garden you can just use a sprinkler but there's no way in hell I'm watering an entire lawn. Bad things about a drought summer, less/ no boomers/ severe weather which is always cool to have after a long hot humid day. I'm still rooting for a drought, my mind is made up. I'll take snow till it is impossible any longer then dry mode...

From DonS in the New York forum...

Drought guy, I meant from your point of view not copy/paste the entire internet. Anyhow, I'm rooting for a good drought so I can cross off drought and brush fire from my list at the same time...

My squall went straight down County Line road kind of nuts

I was watching it. I wasn't far away, kinda irked me to miss by so little. Should have visited my father where I usually take county line right into Horsham...

Eight hours of gently sifting powder sugar lulled me to sleep are you kidding me

and some wine

"And some wine".... Booze would probably make me venture out since we don't see this that often.

I'm still sticking by my two wheelchair rating...

2.3" the last hour from the blobb 

Woke up from a snooze looked outside and wtf!

3.5" still snowing

 

First off, what the hell are you doing snoozing during snow?

Second off, what the hell are you doing snoozing during snow?

That deserve 2 wheelchairs!!

Looking at the LR- the drought is going get a lot worse in the upcoming 10-15  days. Basically  less than .25 in of rain and dry as hell between a couple of rain events.  Like Red Sky said, snowstorms appears to be over on the LR. 

Okay, I'll bite. What if we get very minimal rain through March, April and May what exactly happens? For my experience nothing happens. It seems like life goes on. Maybe a water restriction? Not washing the car, watering the lawns? Tell us what doomsday will bring Sir drought guy...

Nice little swath spinning down...

Black top starting to cave with the lowering sun angle, 23F.

Same here. The sun angle is very important. I think we all learned a good lesson today //Mr Rodgers//...

I-95 corridor, I-95 corridor...   

I don't know who starting it but once one TV Met said it they all started saying it and now is the trendy/"viral" thing to say. I guess corridor makes one sound more intelligent.

Herb Clarke probably never said it in his life. He probably said "along/up I95" as a normal guy would say...

Pretty nice stuff going on right now:

Just now, ChescoWx said:

No argument today as the rates were not heavy enough today.....which is why we measure on a white snowboard and measure before it melts or compacts between bands.

So you're saying the sun angle is real this time of year which is all I'm saying.

Just now, MGorse said:

At least that one is describing an area.

Yeah I know, I'm just sick of hearing it...

Concrete also melting off not even a black surface. Spring is close.

 

The Birds are telling us but some of the weenies don't want to listen. I'm at heavy duty snow during the day or mod snow during the night. Mod snow during the day in most cases isn't going to cut it at this point unless super cold...

And the word "alert"...

"I-95 corridor"

4 minutes ago, RedSky said:

Umm no 

.5" snow still falling lightly but the driveway is black burned it all off the last couple hours, as well as the hood and roof of the car yet only 21F

 

Yeah, you should be blanket white with your temps....

Norlun trough has become an overused phrase over the last few years.

So has the term "event"...

The sun angle is real. If what fell today fell mid January with the same temp it would stick everywhere. I'm not sure how you don't quite see it...

And yesterday, snow mounds in the sun and it was in the mid-20s and melting with puddles. Mid January this would not have happened...

As has sun angle....

In Hatfield, sideways super light snow, some wind. Hopefully things picked up and roads get slick and dicey... 

25F

Maybe some early afternoon flakes? Temps are certainly there, 25F...

NO not purgatory, the hellish fires of a major drought. I hope you guys are praying for one hell of rainstorm in March because this fricking "REVOLUTION" type of progressive windy and dry weather pattern will not change. I have a perfect explanation of this revolution pattern  in a video clip of how this pattern will not end.

You may be losing it. Personally I haven't seen a good brush fire and want to cross it off my list. Let the winds, low DPs and possible flurries continue...

25F
