StantonParkHoya Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Just got back from South Carolina. Early trees blooming everywhere down there. Clover starting to pop up. Bushes budding. Spring is encroaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I simply can’t wait for the dreary days to be over. I think I’ve been affected by it much more this winter than ever before. Bring me warm sunshine and afternoon storms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 After this cold week coming up, I hope we get a massive SE ridge for the rest of March. I am ready for spring. I started dozens of tropical milkweed seeds under lights a few days ago. The monarchs will be happy with me this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Today is a great example of why I tend to loathe march snow and March snow chases for inside the beltways. Tends to be just gross wet more times than not. Wish we could find warmer drier weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 i've thought about this sun angle thing a bit. my conclusion is that it affects ratios more than it does stickage. a 32 and below surface is 32 and below, but i've definitely noticed that some of these march snowers have generally worse ratios (and possibly higher rate of melting after stickage as well), during the day. i could be wrong and having a selective memory here, but it would make sense that the sun angle would impact a snowflake's rate of melting on the way down. yes, we are capable of march powder, but i think fringe temps are more of a problem in march than january. rates would overcome that for obvious reasons. how much of an impact is up for the debate, but i think it's kind of irrational to say it makes no difference.
