EastCoast NPZ Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Through the 25th, March is running -6.12F IMBY. Imagine if this pattern had occurred in Jan. There'd have been snow cover for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester (KOKV) now recording the average March temp as equal to the avg January temp. of 37, with 9 reported days with snow, and 22 of 26 days with a low at or below freezing. With every day for the remainder of the month forecast to be below normal, it sure looks as if March goes in the books this year solidly in the winter column. It's doubtful the 37 mean temp can hold up through the end of the month. If it can hang on to at most 38, it becomes the 2nd coldest month of the winter behind only January.

WinterWxLuvr Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Benefit of March snow: It snows, then the snow goes away. Have to disagree with you on this one. One of, if not the, most important aspects of my "winter performance criteria" is the presence of a totally frozen landscape. That's why I even enjoy freezing rain (light amounts). That's why I thought Mar 6 was such a letdown. Even though it snowed 11.5 inches that day, by 9 am the destruction of the frozen landscape was underway. I like seeing falling snow, but what I most like is a snow AND ice covered landscape. All winter long. I don't ever want a warm day in the winter. Ever. I hope the sun doesn't shine from Nov 15 to Mar 15. Grey, dark, cold, frozen. That's my idea of winter. Now, on March 26, I don't want any more winter. It's time to move on to the next season.

Agree completely (well, except for the freezing rain bit). Others may get their fun from seeing the snow fall, but for me it's all about having snow around. That's why it kills me to see snow falling, but not sticking. Seeing snow melt actually depresses me. I'd trade a 6-inch snow that stays on the ground for two weeks for a 2-foot storm that melts away in a few days - in a heartbeat. Expectations change in March, so quick melts don't have the same impact on me as they do during the rest of the season. This has been an exceptional March, but if it wants to continue snowing I'll happily enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeplayer Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 This storm broke the HPC(now WPC) snow pool for the first inch of snow for the winter. The winning entry was for about Feb 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like snowcover in winter, but at this time of year I'm all about things greening up and coming to life. But I don't like extended snowcover - even in winter. I'm happy with a week or so of snow on the ground, but beyond that I can do without it. Snow piles get dirty, things get crunchy, and it starts to feel like spring will never arrive. I need sun, too, which generally means that snowcover takes a hit around here.That said, if snowpack gets freshened up in January or so, then I won't complain too much. But the reality is that we very rarely have a snowpack that gets refreshed, so that's really a non-starter. I'm absolutely dying for spring right now. I planted a s**t ton of onions this past weekend, and it really got me in the gardening mood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% with you EastCoast NPZ, winter can stay as long as she wants, we making up A BIT for last years disaster of later winter/early spring (aka torchy summer). Still have bands of flurries and light snow swinging through this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
