At least it isn’t an inch of rain. 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Lol snowing here 

[CoastalWx]

Few flakes. Miserable day. 

[STILL N OF PIKE]

Winter pattern finally arrives

Because 70F with wind is bad?

it is annoying to cycle into a headwind, but makes the body stronger I guess.

Holy sh*t Dave.  I missed this earlier somehow.

Just like we were discussing last night, a nice distraction! 

I weenies out for a while.  Taking pictures and video.  Listening to the pfft it made as it fell off the tree in giant soft clumps

3.0” here.  I was a bit surprised. I thought maybe an inch was possible 

You made it on Pete B's 4 o'clock weather segment.

As soon as he said Dave from Hubbardston I said to myself I think I know who that is. Sure enough, same picture.

Nice snowfall this morning. All gone now though

[Ginx snewx]

This is insane

[NorEastermass128]

This guy behind the pine branch comes down tomorrow. 

[NorEastermass128]

Better look at tomorrow’s dead oak coming down. 
 

 

[dendrite]

Man...all of you guys getting trees cut down and I can't get a friggin delivery of wood chips up here from Chip Drop going back to last fall.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Saw frost this AM. Actually had a hard freeze with temp bottoming out at 26F.

[Typhoon Tip]

I suspect we bottom out this pattern over these next 60 hours ... Euro depth D5.5 looks typically over plumbed passing thru NE. 

Seasonal shift arrives ~ D6 onwards. Tele’s collapse toward null spacing and probably everywhere beneath 45N across the CONUS sans chillier departures in lieu milder days with noticeable consistency a.k.a. bona fide spring 

Some form of departure in the other direction within 30 days not without precedence

Yeah maybe we can pull a 60 out on Sunday they've been few and far between this month. Extended March.

accumulating snow to much of
interior, heaviest over the higher elevations. Improving
conditions Saturday night with a mild and breezy Sunday on tap.
Weather pattern then becomes more active again after Sunday
night, with several storm systems to watch thru Tuesday.
Temperatures to trend cooler than normal into midweek

[Lava Rock]

27.7f. can we get a friggin warm day already? Snow south of here overnight, wtf.

Gypsies kill it? Too bad, looks nice otherwise

Yup. Never produced leaves last year.

Unfortunately it was the larger trees that took the brunt of the Gypsy moth infestation. I have a bunch 10 to 15 ft in circumference standing dead. Not worth my time to saw them up.

[CoastalWx]

31.9 this morning with a wind chill. Brrr.  

[CoastalWx]

Euro is close with the storm early next week. I think it’s not anything at the moment, but slowly ticking west.

Wouldn’t it rainer?

It may get more interesting if it gets closer and into the CCB. But, odds might be low.

I just saw that...couldn't believe my eyes. Seems like there is some room for that to happen too...I'm assuming one thing we'd like to see is that northern stream dig a little deeper?

There were a ton of wiped out oaks up here.  Tree guys having a field day. Plenty of work.
