I don't want to poo poo the talk of the great winter pattern we're seeing with the beast PNA ridge and block, but we're coming into March and I can't get excited about snow threats anymore.  I love snow as much as anyone, but having it be chilly for days on end only to end up chasing a potential slopfest that melts in a day isn't exactly insipring.

 

I want spring.

Board is dead today, think many may need to go on antidepressants ... 

 

Biggest event since January mostly rain of course yet some of us will have the biggest ice accretion of the season and front end sleet.

 

40 page observation thread for flurries ... yet all is quiet for this one even though WWA for large portions of the area.  This may overperform IMBY. I always watch temps around JonJon and when he is still cold for these this type event the cold layer is still pretty thick.

Well...I'm here all the time reading anyway.  Maybe the next few weeks produce something, maybe not.  Until the true signs of spring show up on the models, I'll believe anything can happen.  I mean DT is already talking about the March 6-7 dealio.  Of course its going to verify. :whistle:

Good luck finding spring on the models too. No snow and no warmth. Just the worst for early March.

Agreed, but on the bright side, if you like spring, once we get past mid-month, even a cool day with -8 or -9 departures still gets us a 50 degree day.  Throw some sun and light/no wind in with that, and it's pretty nice.  Of course, we have three weeks to get there, and I wouldn't mind a couple of light snow events between now and then, even if they're quickly gone.

yes but surprised winterweatherlvr and other westerners have not chimed in...

 

affirms my point. The depression is deeper than Boston's winter snow total and I think most are ready for spring just to move on past the pain?

 

A little freezing rain does absolutely nothing for me.  Rain in any form is just rain.  Besides, daylight rain at this point in the season is not freezing any more than snow would be sticking.

Hard to be depressed about things I can't control, like whether or not it snows.  Sure, it can be a little disappointing when a snow event looks great for days in advance, then falls apart 12 hours before the event.  But then, you move on and do all the other things that are important in life.  Being depressed about weather is a bit extreme, IMO.

 

Even though it's going to be chilly the next several weeks, the signs of spring are there.  I enjoy this time of year, as everything comes back to life, with warmth and color bringing renewed energy.  All the daffodils and tulips, with trees getting new leaves and growth.  Baseball starting up again.  Warm sunshine.  Spring showers and thunderstorms.  Love it.

DT posted the 0z Euro snowfall map on his FB page for those who want to see the model pr0n.  In summary, 12" line goes from roughly IAD-Towson-Bel Air-Elkton.  6" a bit south of I-95 and parallels it before heading east from Baltimore.  18" out in Trixie land and CHO.  24"+ for jonjon and Phin's cabin.

So we should expect sunny skies? Cause god knows that euro run won't happen

I have to agree with you here. While Fall is my most favorite time of year, this comes in a very close second. I enjoy watching all the buds starting to appear. All the peaks of green that start to emerge. And they sun, I do enjoy the sun. Sun is out up here right now and it is shining into my front room which puts me in a good mood.
