Some of you may be wondering if we can complete the winter sweep, with Dec Jan and Feb all coming in below normal?  With that in mind, I got out the MJS crystal ball and it says, yes indeed we will pull off the trifecta, but not by much.  The final average monthly temp for February will come in at 32.6, good for almost a one-degree BN departure and middle of the pack all-time.  Book it.  Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

When is the last time we pulled the trifecta yet still ended up below snow

I don't feel like explaining myself later. As long as you cut onion plants back  to 4 to 6" before planting and don't have a K deficiency in your soil a few nights in 20s or a deep snow won't kill onions.  I will cover them for the teens. One of the key to big bulbs is getting your onions out early especially day neutral varieties. And controlling those leaf twisting bastard allium leafminers.

President's day storm 2003 was awesome - I measured 28" in Elizabethtown making it my 3rd biggest snow in my lifetime, trailing 1996 and 2016. Snowed the entire weekend. 

55 was my high yesterday. This morning is the first morning on 2025 that I came to work with no jacket at all. This cold weather fan isn't complaining too much...

While some lower spots reached below freezing here in East Nantmeal our low of only 35.8 marks the first time this month and only the 3rd time this year we have failed to fall below freezing for the AM low. Our mild week continues with the next widespread below freezing temperatures not likely till Friday night. Much colder by Saturday night and in fact we may struggle to get above freezing for high temperatures by the time we get to Sunday. Our best chance of rain will come on Thursday.

My notes show 32" Sunday/Monday and 4" more Monday night into Tuesday. which brought my total to 73.3 for the season. I had to snow blow paths in our back yard for our yellow lab. I have pictures that show the snow was higher then him. 

That Monday was 1 of the few days i ever missed work because of snow.

Thanks for this Jon. I need to check my own data when I get home. I sort of think that I had at least some snow on Saturday as well - the storm was a 2 part deal and part 1 was mainly south of us. I guess it's possible that I caught a little of wave 1 that might have missed you before the motherload came starting Sunday morning. I want clarity on this! :)

and to add, i remember one of the local TV guys saying the snow had stopped. I was just getting ready to take my then 7 year old out for a jeb walk and was still snowing like crazy and did so for hours after he said that. 

I actually missed work, monday and Tuesday that storm

It's a beautiful morning.  The birds and feel are advertising the inevitable . I'm hoping  we can stilk sneak in a snow. I prepared my onion beds last night to plant them tonight. 

I indirectly mentioned this last week - there was a day when it seemed like everything had flipped towards a "springlike feel." Doesn't mean winter's done, but as you said...it became obvious one day last week that the inevitable was coming soon.

I clearly remember the storm being disjointed in some way. It was not a wall to wall continuous snowstorm. It definitely had 2 parts. I need to go read Raymond Martin's synopsis.
