He rarely ever lets me down. Best dang meteorologist in the world if you ask me. The guy is so accurate its pathetic. I used to use wunderground and weather.com, but they were too inaccurate too often. I still use wunderground for historical weather data (stuff they cant screw up lol), but thats about it.

Well, his brother Jeff wasn't so trustworthy with that whole Enron scandal, but I guess we can't hold his brother's actions against him!

I tried to tell people here months ago it is not uncommon for a decent snow fall in middle-late March. I guess now people will believe???

This native South Carolinian is with you. It ain't the cold that gets me. It's the dark.

I've got a shovel, a train pass, and a long weekend.

Bring it on.

This is NOT typical march. Sure its typical to get a depressing snow storm or two well into April. The unusual thing is that we still have not broken 70 once this month, we usually have at least a handful of nice days by now and a real honest thunderstorm. I would give my left foot for a thunderstorm now. I feel like I'm in one of those depressingblack and white Russian movies...

I have seen snowfalls in March of around and over 6 inches more than a handful of times. This March might not be typical of one for the last 8 years or so, but it is not unusual historically.

yeah I agree, the snow is not unusual. Its the fact it has been so consistently cold. We usually have more ups and downs, we have had very, very few ups, and the ups have been colder than usual. Often we have had one 70 degree day by now, at least a few more that were in the 50's or 60's. Usually a good thunderstorm. I am pretty sure I've seen snow in May actually.
