I think there has been so much rain and snow in the US, plus snow to our North that when things warm up it will have the effect of diverting the Gulf Stream leading to a global Day After Tomorrow for the summer and next winter. Sorry, I be tripp'in. But, damn, all this rain. Please stop ! -

Rumor on social media is that JB willing to sell his soul for an all time record March Miller A with historic snowfall from the Virginia Capes to Maine with howling winds, bitter cold, incredible drifts and severe beach erosion ! He would die for you, and I think he means the low pressure area, he would die just to feel you by my side .....hmm...... I heard those lines before. Heard he is a Garbage fan and in the days Manson was Hot ! -
I would just add a fuel stablizer to the mower . I have not fueled up the snow blower in 3 years. So it sits nicely covered....waiting

Eh..... I want a refund, these were spouted all preseason and all winter - going to have to hit the gym and watch my diet so I can wait for next year. Its cool though, life is a balance just like the weather. One year soon we will get slammed again. 09-10 02 - 03 95- 96 1962 Nor'Easter 1993 the triple phase 1958 1966 1977

Yeah. Your area did better than many. Seems even in March the seasonal trends continue : From Mount Holly for later in the week : Will say that there do seem to be some similarities to the pattern we saw for much of February with troughing in the West and ridging in the East, but also cold air and high pressure not far north over eastern Canada. So an early hypothesis on the end of the week would feature something we`ve seen several times this winter: a leading wave sliding over or south of the region around Friday, with a larger storm behind it tracking to our west through the Great Lakes.

Never feel bad for Boston. They get from one storm, what I typically get in a season. 2 decent storms for them equals a good winter here. I get it, they have an awesome location and snow climo. I am bitter. I will enjoy the three upcoming days of highs at or below freezing on my barren ground as Boston locks into a deep winter period.

I thought the lattitude here would help me to a degree even the the elevation is 72 feet LOL I knew there were going to be issues when I checked the obs last night and saw folk West of me at rather high elevations reporting rain. I knew at that time Pamela Anderson was visiting again. I had to text my daughter at UD in Delaware and tell here classes as planned. showme was right the mids sucked. AND ...... 64 pages for freakin rain. Time for the warm weather.

I can report a small area of snow under the wiper blade. I honestly thought, as late as 6 PM last night, Northern Delaware schools would be getting at the least a 2 hour delay. Surprisgly they closed last Friday from Thursday's night storm which was only around 3 inches maybe 4 in certain spots. Thr trend this year has also been warm wet and we hardly ever get snow on the ground with an incoming cold air mass. How freak'in boring. Like to go back to the 1960's winters or lore.

Had a winter storm warning here for 3 to 5 inches, more forecasted just to my North ( up to 8 inches ) Currently at my location heavy rain and nothing on the ground, what a bust. A huge bust at that ! And a bust of forecast for just 6 hours ahead. Incredible dissapointment for a lot of the kids in my area hoping for either a 2 hour delay or even a possible cyber day.

I hope so, its been a crummy hobby this winter with a very poor ROI. Any more rain and I think there will be sinkholes everywhere. -
All rain here the last 4 hours after decent snow between4 to 5 PM. ( grass and cars covered atrthat time ) Winter storm warning for up to 4 inches here but lucky to get 6 millimeters the way things look now. Snow Life sucks in the Northern Mid Atlantic .....

An impressive list there, and not so sure about having to mow the lawn any time soon. -

@psuhoffman the thoughts here from back in early Jan. that March would deliver sure seems to be on the mark now. I wish I was in your local tonight psu. I am really riding the line here. Under a WSW but not too confident about the outcome. -

He has not posted very much at all. I think he is frustrated and not much to talk about really in his area. At least nothing to say that is really worthwhile. Certainly not this cold rain and some snow stuff. To all the winter seasonal forecasters out there, well they can relax for months on end until its time to think about the 2019-20 winter. I sense a lot of anxiety for them in the Fall. And............ya da ya da ya da, I am still waiting for the next grand decadel -NAO cycle. More likely Yellowstone will erupt before that happens, it's overdue. . -

Makes you wonder had we had this long -SOI period and a more Nino-like December, ie., more warmth in the center Pac , less East, what would have Jan and Feb. been like. I know even HM posts that certain parts of the country are Nino-like , but without becoming highly technical, because honestly I am not sure even where to begin, but we have not gotten the things we were hoping for like more snow. ( and a -AO averaged winter ) less WAR, etc. -
My son is a senior in HS. , he goes to the MOT Charter High School ( very techish school ) and today they have a cyber day. Ha ha, technology has its pitfalls for the new generation. He is doing his work now. Gone are the days doing nothing on snow days ! However, on the bright side for the teachers and the kids, you do not have to extend the school year. In the end it means my son and his friends can all head down to Dewey as scheduled and party like its 1999. Opps %^&%*& I mean 2019 ha ha

I always do the last cut the lvery end of November, so when it snows it seems to acumulate faster. I do this normally right before doing the Chrsitmas lights.

I like pretty colors -
As HM had posted, if we had better spacing we could be facing a MECS. ( or as he said a HA event ) Due to the change in the NAO phase. Whether indeed the final outcome would be all snow or not, who knows. But, currently the trend is very favorable for March 3rd and 4 th. Seems that cold air really wants to move South.

All of a sudden the turn to warmer later in March may be in trouble. Several indications reveal it might stay cold and there may indeed be more threats to deal with. Not sure if it is related to the recent -SOI drop or not, but the MJO may not advance to the warmer phases along with what appears to be the potential of a -AO developing. Granted any snow is going to require some pretty incredible cold air mass for this time of year, beyond what is forecasted next week. -

Hopefully the EPS gets down to reality shortly, and shows a significant cold(er) shift still. And I can't call you DT unless you start using some cursing and vulgar language. LOL
