I have a feeling the Wizards city jerseys will be a little more frequent going forward. I'm still iffy on those...I like the idea, but they went really all in on that pink lol.

Nice article by CWG today that shows that March temps have a very large impact on the bloom dates, and since we are looking at pretty average temps the fast start will be muted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our upcoming March 1993 redux will push peak bloom into April. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George BM Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 Just noticed Jupiter and Venus in the night sky side-by-side (the conjunction). I thought it was an aircraft like a helicopter at first glance out of the corner of my eyes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed it last week...a crescent moon at the time, shortly after sunset to the west (Moon-Jupiter-Venus in that order). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Had to go back and check the radar... slept through whatever action there was last night. Thought I was being trolled about a storm when I saw a lightning video on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George BM Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Saw the lightning bolts going backwards on Radarscope. Slept through it, though at my location I would've just heard low-rumbling distant thunder. I'll go ahead and put down March 2nd as the first thunder occurrence at my house of 2023. Not quite as exciting as the weather five years ago today but it's... something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Thunder woke me up here about 2:40 am, pretty awesome for 2nd day of March. Meanwhile, wife has a niece that works Disney in California and sent video of it snowing there... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No extreme cold leading in and temps will be in the low 30s with moderate to at times heavy precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like the forecasts for out there sometimes don't match the local conditions. Also I really don't want to have to put my snow tires back on to head up tomorrow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we were going to head up tonight but I now need to stay local for a few meetings tomorrow. You may need those snow tires for the epic of all epic patterns in 10+ days.

Mostly concerned with getting through Mt. Storm/over the ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Another pleasant day in the temps department with what seemed like a mild breeze, at least to start. Looks like a few more days of comfortable temps after the cutter before we get our last chance at wintry weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The low tonight at Mt Storm is 32 and the high tomorrow is 35. That doesn’t scream ice storm to me with the heavy precip but check conditions tomorrow before leaving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 The HRRR is quite aggressive tomorrow for wind gusts in the afternoon. NAM seems more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
