Very mild here, looks like not many snow chances left around here, another horribly disappointing "winter" per usual. Very strong sun angle with temperatures over 50F. The mixture of freezing rain, sleet, and snow is finally melting off my northwest exposed part of my driveway today.
Currently, here in Downeast, Maine....34F Degrees, Dew Point 29F Degrees, Winds WNW 3mph, Gusts 6mph, Pressure 29.95 - steady...
Sunny Blue skies greeted this day and the commute from my client's after a 48hr shift to home, was fraught with packed snow, plowed down the middle of the road and sanded....AKA a ****-show.
Still, I made it safely to my clients and home again, to Birch Meadows!
It's melting, but at night it freezes...
Looks like Maple Season is a step away!
Rain on the way and it freezes at night...
Snow during the day, and it freezes at night!
It makes one long for Spring (aka Mud Season here in Maine)!
Still, there are those things in one's heart...
Especially after watching (for at least the third time), Turn (Washington's Spies)!
That makes one long for the passing...
into another another Season...
one that leads into Freedom from the tyranny that's clenches our hearts and minds!
and divides us...

GFS has had a notable snow event for the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday for a few runs now. 6-8 inches for a band ranging from western Virginia through the D.C. and Baltimore metros into the Southern half of New Jersey. Still 3-5 inches in Philly and NYC.
The Euro meanwhile has the same system miss the major population centers entirely and drop 2-3 inches in the Virginia tidewater and Delmarva instead.
UK model sees neither and instead just sees some very modest snow in Appalachia and the Northeast. Canadian model meanwhile has it as a big snow event for WV, PA, Upstate NY and interior New England.
Interesting to see such variation on Wednesday for a Sunday event.

German and Canadian have it too now.
GFS has been once again impressive me this season while Euro is sleeping. We'll see but its nice to know that this is on the radar now after GFS was consistently hinting at it. LETS DO THIS! I need 1-2 more big snowstorms please.
Got into the Tampa Bay area tonight and checked temps here VS back in Lower AL. 2° cooler in LA. I remember when temps dropped into the 50's here the fur lined gloves came out and heavy coats too. No macho kids running around in T-Shirts in the 50-60's. Here in my home area of FL I've seen all the extremes. 90's for Halloween to hard freezes in the teens in early November. I for years heard the promise of a cool day in the fall and the cold front would stall out over the Gulf in the middle of winter.

Fur lined gloves and heavy coats in the 50s?
Here it's more like
10s-20s: heavy coats, gloves and hats
30s-40s: light coat
50s-60s: long sleeves
70s-80s: short sleeves
Ex this is a street party in a nearby college town on St Patrick's Day 2016, when temps were around 46-48F. https://youtu.be/Nynxnqn144I?t=27
Most people wearing warm sweaters, a few in jackets (but no heavy coats), a few brave souls in shorts or t-shirts.
