I just wanna wash my car once without worrying about salt or wet roads.
Wow! What a year. Haven't checked out Bernies thoughts, probably wont get around to it. Thanks for the update.
Current temps at 5000' and radar with metars.
Kinda funny looking at this in March. You wanna say "Where's the cold air?!"
It's above freezing at 5k over Southern NJ and so its raining there.
It's above freezing at 5k throughout Ohio and Western PA so it's not like there's a ton of arctic air around rushing in.
Plus it's March.
Plus coastal storm pushing Ocean air in.
Sun angle higher in the sky.
It's -5°C over NYC and the cold is stubborn to leave north of Philly. Interesting setup when you look at it.
I am frustrated because the storm looks to be a miss where I am. I canceled something because of a forecast that had 8-12 inches of snow today at 12 PM but by 6 PM it was 3-6. Now I am deciding what time to go to work and where to park and I have NO idea if they will change the forecast AGAIN.
All day here I've been hearing 8-12 inches, although lately it's predicted closer to 8. The totals in that map are a bit off from what I heard but in the end who knows?
I'm dreading this as I have a killer commute to get to work. But I expect all schools and possibly the Federal Government to close which should make the traffic light. I wish I didn't have to deal with it. Today is the first day of Spring! WTF?
I am not one who usually expresses frustration over the Internet, but I’d be willing to bet that a growing number of people in the Northeastern United States are becoming more and more fed up with all of this unseasonably cold and snowy weather, I know if I were in the Northeastern United States, I would be ready to throw the towel in and give up all hope of having even a quasi normal spring and summer season.
It is the southern bias of the US with population moving to the Sunbelt over time, and many people don't associate March as being a "wintry" month. Spring doesn't arrive in the interior Northeast until May most of the time with frost and freeze potential common until the end of the month.
Where I work is about 30 miles south of Frederick. It was miserable all day but snow was light. We got sleet, and it was the entire day. Thank goodness the temperatures stayed above freezing. Looking out the window at work today was depressing...
Models overnight trended with less precip in CT. Now the latest Euro confirms..
Latest Euro 10:1 snowfall.. Still big for NYC southward but man this could be a bust for CT now.
Closeup.
That would be a bust for far northern NJ as well.
NWS is currently calling for 9-13 inches of snow in my neck of the woods, although localized higher amounts are possible. I'm thinking while the whole state will get hit, places further south and east will be in the jackpot zones.

should be light and may quit for several hours before the snow

drifting snow is possible on Thursday.
It's 37 right now and raining. I just got put under a WWA for tomorrow morning for 1-2" of snow. But that is only the northern half of the county; I'm supposed to get <1". I'll honestly be surprised if I see anything. At the same time, I wasn't expecting the WWA either. (I'm in Durham atm).
Not much snow here (between Washington, DC and Baltimore) so far and the forecast has been downgraded to 3-6 inches.
Heavy snow reported to come in about 3 hours and continuing for 6 hours, tapering off at about 3 PM.
Federal Government is closed. That is a surprise to me. especially looking out my window. Apparently a lot of ice out there and there are a lot of accidents. Current temperature is 28 degrees.
Just reported "this is the calm before the storm."
