It is.

A bit of snow that falls and melts the next day is childs play.

Ok.. so only a bit of snow while you're gone. Probably right down there while i get a late march 16" I'll send you a postcard down in the keys. We expect the same keys porn in return while ur down there.

And I still have more snow on the ground after this sucky feb the day after josh got 4.7" EPICCCCCC FEB, DEEP DEEP SNOWPACK. Deep deep weenie's is all feb has brought.

Todays depth is 2" at DTW and 1" at MKE, so unless MKE is full of sh*t, I dont think you have more. This is the time of year when shade has way more than sun so have to avg. Since Feb 20 DTW had a lot more on the ground than MKE until 2 days ago, thats thanks to heavy rain. Why the hating on an epic Feb? It broke records, not to mention had surprise snowstorms. You guys had the epic storm, we had the epic month, both had the deepest snow in years. This all SHOULD be acknowledged for what it is on a weather board.

If we can get that junk ont he east coast to move perhaps the super clipper for next weekend can dig further south?

Opposite. You want the trough along the east coast to stay put, strengthen confluence, and allow that clipper to shear to the south. GFS scoots the D3 storm east so quickly the clipper's allowed to amplify and track north of us.

Euro has a secondary hang around and the low still goes north so we will see what happens

EURO is slower than the GFS, but if you loop its H5 plots, it's still what I'd call progressive. If you remember all of last winter and December of this year, what would happen is the energy responsible for the D3 storm would head towards Atlantic Canada, close off, and stall. That's what we need. -NAO helps out in that regard but it's not playing ball.

Flurries are falling here too as the sun sets. There were elevated snow showers all day, but there was a layer of low-level subsidence which ate all of it. Boundary layer cooling as the sun sets is probably why we're seeing stuff now, since all layers are getting more saturated from the cooling. I could see it getting heavier over the next hour or two from that, and then it'll dissipate by about 10 pm.

If we don't get it with the next storm, we should at least be less than an inch away. I think we can probably pick that up somewhere along the way.

Oh yeah, chance for 60: 5% :guitar:

Still holding out a little hope for the fluke March or April bomb, eh? :thumbsup:
