you’re going to be sorely disappointed, that’s all I’m gonna say.

I know youre disappointed it wasnt the warm winter you continuously called for, but i dont see how saying that a storm signal 10-11 days out is too early to call p-type is setting myself up for disappointment :huh:

There is almost always a threat for a March event, and many years April. The good news, is it's usually gone shortly after. Heck, my son was born April 2 1993 and my wife April 14,1961 and it snowed on both dates. Though it was 56 on December 10,1990 when my other son was born. Amazing, how a weather nut can always know the weather on key dates in their life. Regardless, once March hits I'm ready to turn the page these days,

Let’s watch the storm for the middle of next week and see if it trends SE and weaker. There’s always complaints about how a storm that is modeled to produce rain never trends SE. Right now as modeled it would probably get to 60F or higher here with a decent rain. It will probably trend SE and weaker and give me 36F and rain. lol

when did I continuously call for a warm winter? It was an average winter overall in the temp department with lots of ups and downs despite it lacking snow, big whoop. Enjoy the torch when it comes

March 8th 1998 was one of my favorite weather events of all time. I was about 11 miles due south of midway airport. Woke up to a heavy wet snow that was caked to every tree, garage door, light pole etc. Somewhat unexpected and I think that one might have started as a rainer

remember it well. That was supposed to be well north and west and trended surprisngly south and east.

Of course there were ups and downs, there are almost every winter. But it was still a colder than avg winter. Had plenty of winter fun here in January/February despite the lack of big storms, so my issue is not getting a mid-March torch. My issue was how saying 10 days out is too far to worry about ptype to which your crystal ball told you ill be disappointed. Look Cromartie, youve been pretty well behaved as "Maxim", so kudos on that, but Im still going to call out BS when I see it.

Given this week's drought monitor update it would sure be nice to see some active and wet weather.  A lot of the region needs precip regardless of what form it takes.

I get what goes into the drought monitor, but its still funny to see SE MI in "abnormally dry" when the recent snowmelt/rain on frozen ground has made it a mushy MESS outside.

I remember this one! A rare March big dog in my neck of the woods.
