Just a fantastic late winter night out there. Spent an hour skating on my rink, listening to a little Bob Marley. Perfect way to de-stress after a crazy week. Ice was just about the best it's been all winter, which is impressive considering it's essentially March and the amount of snow we've had in the past month.

As far as Monday goes, I haven't really been following along (thankfully it appears) but I wouldn't mind a few inches as my practice is opening a new location and we could use a quiet day! Looks like that might be pushing it based on the latest trends.

It would be amazing to see if the low temps do happen that's shown on today's 06 GFS run for 3/4 - 3/6. Low temps of -14/18 for KSWF.

-2 for the low out here. I think that puts me at least ten below 0 lows for the season... A hell of an evening to run out of oil...I went out and got enough fuel to get us through last night, waiting on a delivery now with mixed emotions...

Awesome find...all of the NWS offices have been pretty even-handed with this event, and they all allude to a bigger potential.  Seems like every other storm this year - models fail, true mets with experience come closer to wining.   On a bigger scale, the ending la nina and coming nino probably contribute more to a snowy march than anything else.  I think uncle posted some stats about that, but darned if I can find them before coffee.

Ouch, it's amazing to see the amount of  low temps this year but is not good for the pocket tho. :( Hope you get the delivery soon.

Ouch I've had that happen to me. This cold is getting a little ridiculous now.

 

-2 here as well.

Looking at all the guidance so far today, I'm glad that I spent a grand total of 7 minutes following this "threat" over the past week. Isn't anyone else in here ready for spring?!

I'm still in the mood for one more good storm.

But if not, spring can feel free to show up.lol

Temp difference between my house and the woods where the footbridge crosses the Taconic in Yorktown was 13* this morning. It never popped above 32 here but it got to 44 while we were riding and the sun came out for about fifteen minutes. Up to that point we could ride anywhere! Trails be da ned just point it down that draw and rip :) and then all of a sudden it became work :( There's still a solid foot in the woods and up to two in sheltered spots. Fatbikes are fun.

Forecast to go below 0 tonight, they just keep coming. Usually I only go below zero a handful of nights each season, but here we are in March and still adding to the tally. I've always wanted to live somewhere in the deep north... not as far as the Arctic Circle, but maybe southern Alberta or Saskatchewan. This winter is probably as close to that kind of climate as I'll have the privilege of living in for the near future.

 

Unless something really bizarre happens, this will likely be the last legitimately cold night for the season. Even though all signs point to below-average for the next few weeks, that becomes increasingly boring as the averages continue to climb. 

 

I do wish it would snow, but beggars can't be choosers. 2.0" spread over three events since the 2/13 storm has been a bit boring.

It has been pretty remarkable.  It feels downright balmy on the nights that it doesn't go below 10 degrees.  But I agree, it has been a little boring.  I guess we are paying for that 2 week stretch of continual snow.  

 

Dropped to 5 degrees so far.  Should make it below zero here as well.
