EastCoast NPZ Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If the GFS that I just looked at for about 20 seconds is right, we're gonna be mowing in March. Last year, I didn't mow until mid April. I can't even come up with words to describe what a kick in the nuts this winter was. Start with 3 accumulating snows that missed me by less than 100 miles to my south and go from there. You might want to purchase a cup, because getting kicked in the sack by winter seems to becoming common here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Can we look for snow in 11 days? I look for snow from October to April, but the warmth has been so strong this year I don't see a chance. Like a June evening out there tonight with mid-upper 60's and now a gusty shower moving in with winds above 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Almost feels like an early fall morning out there. Kinda cool, but not coat wearing weather. One coolish day tomorrow with highs in the 40s and then we start to ramp up to what looks like a nice week. Could have highs near 70 Tuesday - Saturday next week with lots of sunshine. Add in the 1st round of March Madness on Thursday and Friday and it should be one hell of a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Shaw Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Gaithersburg Maryland VP2 backyard report for Saturday, March 10, 2012 Saturday was sunny and cool, last one of those kind of days for a while. Looks like a significant warmup will start on Sunday, and continue for several days, probably most if not all of the coming week. One more frosty night tonight (Don't forget to change your clocks- move them forward 1 hour!) then sunny and milder on Sunday with highs in the low 60s. Monday should be milder still, with highs in the upper 60s, then turn a bit cloudy in the evening with a 30 POP for showers. Tuesday sun returns with high temps in the low 70s. This pattern continues through Thursday, then Thursday night into Friday a bit of clouds and another 30 POP for showers. The next weekend looks to return to sun and high temps in the low 70s. After this weekend, most of the nights should find lows in the 40s and 50s, depending on cloud cover - the warmer low temps with the clouds and showers.. Snow looks more and more like it won't be around till next season... Chances for snow keep fading as time marches on. Saturday's precipitation: 0 March total precipitation: 0.57" 2012 annual YTD precipitation total: 5.26" Seasonal snowfall: 4.9" VP2 data for Saturday as follows : High temp 48.2° (1631) Low temp 31.2° (0643) Obs temp tonight 33.2° Relative humidity ranged from a max of 66% (2343) to a low of 25% (1518) Dew point ranged from 23° to 13°.

Kevin Shaw Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Gaithersburg Maryland VP2 backyard report for Sunday, March 11, 2012 Sunday started out a bit frosty with temps just under the freezing mark, but warmed under stronger sun to temps in the mid 60s by mid-late afternoon. Don't forget that timing will be a bit different today since we switched over to Daylight Savings Time early this morning.Tonight partly cloudy skies and lows in the mid 30s as I believe we have seen our last frosty morning this morning in a while. Monday should be partly cloudy, clouding up more towards evening with a 60 POP for showers Monday night. A partly cloudy day on Tuesday with highs up in the low 70s and a 30 POP for showers and even possibly a thunderstorm. Then on Wednesday and Thursday sun returns with high temps up in the mid 70s. A 30 POP for showers on Friday with continued temps in the low 70s, then cloudy to partly cloudy on the weekend, a bit unsettled, with more 70s for highs. Low temps this week after tonight should mostly be in the 40s and 50s. Snow looks more and more like it won't be around till next season... Chances for snow keeps fading as time marches on.
