RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I had another fresh inch of wet snow caked on everything again this morning. It was snowing silver dollar flakes when I went to sleep after midnight last night. This is getting ridiculous. If you think that is ridiculous check what the GFS is spitting out for next week: Not a monster storm, but that would likely have some frozen with it.....

blackngoldrules Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hey, it could happen. It was about this time last week that I started bringing up this week's storm. Yeah, not overly impressive but maybe some more accumulating snow depending on the timing of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it holds up. Can't wait. I hope it does too, because I'm on vacation that week. Let this winter end and on to spring. It was an eventful winter. A lot of snow overall for the season. No huge storms, at least imby, but several moderate events. Now, time for some warmth and severe weather tracking.....after early next week.
