Meh. There's 9" of snow outside, nothing is in bud or bloom, and my pond is still frozen over. I'd be all over casting a line or prepping my veggie garden otherwise. Until there are actually warm-season things to do, I'm in winter mode.

If the snow was gone, id be in baseball and golf mode. Dont get me wrong, its gorgeous out. But give me one or the other right now lol

I think even the coldest Marches have a few really warm days. I'm pretty sure it's quite common to have a couple of 70 degree days this month. No matter how you slice it this Thursday will feel brutal especially early on. The very mild days preceding it will only increase the impact compared to when it's consistently cold and we are used to it. The winds will make it feel particularly brutal.

Thursday will suck, yes. But it's one day. And even around 30 the sun being out should make it somewhat tolerable.

Thursday will likely be stuck in the mid to upper 20s with strong winds probably gusting close to wind advisory criteria so it'll feel worse than you think especially with the mid 60s today through part of tomorrow.

If it were not windy and around 28-30 with some sun then yeah it wouldn't feel too bad. My forecast shows low 60s tomorrow going to low 20s tomorrow night. I think it might get colder than that, maybe upper teens.

Looks like the Canadian shows 6 inches of snow on Sunday night into Monday.  The Euro is also showing a bit of snow as well with a 996mb low near Hatteras, but the thread for that storm is shut down?

Yyyyyyyep. Shut down as it should be. We have a 1,660 post thread for a line of showers tomorrow. Ain't that something?

And last run it had nothing but wall to wall boredom and transient cold shots behind cutters. Next run I highly suspect will also be much different. 

 

Meh, in mid-march it's time to hug the snowiest model and go down with the ship if it fails

40 mph wind gusts, 30 degree temperature drop within hours, thunderstorms, then rain changing to snow.  Massive snow up to our north.  Yes, this storm is going to be amazing.  There will also likely be snow on Sunday night into Monday, but for some reason we are not allowed to discuss that even though the Canadian model and the European model both show the threat, and they just so happen to be the two best models in existence.  The European ensemble mean was never very enthused with this storm being snow for us tomorrow, but it is pretty enthused for the next one.  Let's not discuss that though, just because a few people don't agree.  Yeah, the control run of the Euro that pretty much was the first model to say we would not get snow with this storm tomorrow is hammering us with 10 inches of snow on Sunday night into Monday.  But let's not talk about that.

Yeah not sure what the issue is. This is a weather forum, who care how far away a threat is. Does it really hurt to discuss. People make mountains out of mole hills
