I can’t upload phone pictures it seems, but the edge of the clouds is just to my south and it’s quite picturesque. Feathery and gravity wave patterns embedded.

Same here,  beautiful.

Was totally sunny at sunrise,  now there is this arc of cirrus with feathery wisps above, a work of art from mother nature.  You can tell something is coming.

Cold period seems to be slipping away ever so slowly. The weather forecast just fails to have any highs below freezing save for a couple days late next week, but that keeps getting pushed back. This is getting uninteresting real fast.

This aged well

22.3 here.  I got to 19 once last winter.

My memory was that BWI didn't get in the teens at all last winter, but I see they reported 1 19F reading per DJF month last winter.  Nothing in the teens this winter.

Another all frozen hit for many nw areas . What a 2 week stretch of winter underway since last Sunday through this coming week .

Tomorrow will make 9 straight days of snow cover here.  The 3” hardpack should survive a 45° degree day, so I may be looking at an extended February stretch if the models are on to something.

The only 2 Februaries with extended snowpack here in the past 15 years were 2010 and 2014.  Feb ‘10 had 23 straight days (and 26 of 28 for the month) and Feb ‘14 also had 23 straight, as part of 39 consecutive days that began on 1/21.

That Feb 2010 is interesting. We never came close to seeing grass here that year. Guess it had to do with us getting a better snow on Jan 31

Yep.  The 3” I got from 1/30 was only patchy spots by the morning of 2/2 and the 4” later that day was gone by the time the big dog started.  Actually, during the afternoon of 2/5 I had non-accumulating snow for a while.
