That forecast is normal for spring in the mountains of Washington State. At least until the very end of spring.
So is it abnormal for the ADKS of NY in March? I'm pretty sure it is at 5000 feet and Im pretty sure 5 feet of snow is nothing as well. Its good to know there some snow above 3000 feet.
Yup, 1 more day of cold and then Spring will be in the air.
Looking back now I can finally say its a good thing we were above normal for over 5 months through Winter. I cant deal with above normal in Summer with 90s and 100s. Chances are we wont be now
Should we start a U.S Spring/Summer thread? So we can post our OBSs. :-)

No, it's not but the post I responded to was on Washington State. Snow in the Cascades is at a different level than eastern peaks and it lasts later in the season. I assume most of the Adirondacks have had snow the whole winter even maybe at low elevations. Here are New Hampshire mountains:
Anywhere from 14-49" inches depending on elevation and site topography. Mt. Washington's high was -5°F today.
Right now, we have snow here at 200 feet. Looks and feels very wintry now, though not as much as a few days ago.

I dunno if mild warmer has any connection to cooler summer. My guess is they're unconnected; I looked at some data and it looked like any correlation disappears fast after a couple of months; but I need to recheck.

There's already a general spring thread started by Patricus Maximus. You could start a specific US one, but it'd be a bit of a duplicate.

Hmm. Thats what confused me. It looked like you responded to my post on the Adirondaks video forecast but then you mentioned Washington State. lol I scrolled up to see who left a post on Washington State and didnt see any. Maybe I missed it. But my post was for the Adirondaks in NY.
I wish I had your wintry scene down here. Oh well. 8 more months till Winter.
