Arnold214 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have two coatings to show for March. That really knocks this winter's grade down fairly significantly IMO...another snowless march (for intents and purposes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 yeah, after getting 2 or 3 inches for the entire month of march. Winter pretty much ended here on groundhogs day with a slow, rotting, brown snowpack taking a month to melt. Here in CT I still give the winter an A because we had a top 2 or 3 winter crammed into 6 weeks. That's incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 That really knocks this winter's grade down fairly significantly IMO...another snowless march (for intents and purposes). I have over 80" which is pretty incredible, but I have a problem giving it something like an "A " if March ends up being as bad as it's been so far. March is a winter month imo. I guess you could argue we shifted everything a few weeks so that December has been wild over the last four years, but you gotta have some snow in March.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 lol yup. It won't be much of anything for you or me. Kevin will get a sloppy 2" and claim winter has returned with a vengeance. Your tie doesn't match your shirt..Ouch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If March ends up virtually snowless at your place, you can't give this winter an "A". At this latitude, yes, it is most certaintly a winter month and should be better than Dec IMO.

Sure you can get a few mild days, but sunny and 45F doesn't really cut it for me. I know it's all subjective, but it hurts if March ends up being a disaster. Now if I'm looking at trees bending halfway to the ground under the weight of snow come Saturday, then that changes things..lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboughton Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I mean, do we really want to get all stoked about the forecast for Friday based on a GFS from Sunday? Haven't we been disappointed enough by the GFS's always-too-cold solutions? =\ March is one of those useless months without snow.

Arnold214 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 GFS snow algorithm is kinda screwing Eastern MA/RI/Eastern CT b/c of high thicknesses and a period of strong onshore SFC winds, but realistically there probably would be more snow there...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 That really knocks this winter's grade down fairly significantly IMO...another snowless march (for intents and purposes). It would be ironic if April winds up with 20+ for the month 18z has 15" regional boner, then 6" off a flat wave that tracks along the interface between obscene mid winter cold butting up against SE warm thickness. This run is nuts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 [quoteIt is a little comical that this setup on the 18z GFS is similar to the Boxing Day storm. ] Looks just like it, 20+ inches to my west, 20+ inches to my east 6-8inches over me. I enjoyed that storm even though I got shafted on snow amounts, the wind howled for 3 days and blew the snow into big drifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
