However, in this case as you indicated there is great uncertainty a day before the event. For several days I have been feeling the metro will get at least a few inches of wet snow Sunday/Monday.

Unfortunately conditions did not come together for us to knock out the Halloween Blizzard from its throne on the last storm but we have a fairly decent opportunity in front of us to dethrone the top spot for seasonal snowfall if we can stay colder and snowier this March.1983-84 holds that distinction with a whopping 98.6”……we currently are sitting at 71.4”. 27”+ of snow sounds like a lot but we all know March can deliver some big wet snowfalls and so can April for that matter, so I don’t think it’s that far fetched that we can attain this record. I’m sure some of you have already seen the colder then average temperatures forecasted for the month of March so if we can get a couple of decent snowfalls with that and throw in one more “big” we can certainly break a record. In fact the weather models, both the GFS and the EURO, both show an snowy active week for next week starting up late Sunday/Mon with a moderate snowfall of 4-7” followed by a bigger event somewhere in the Thur-Sat timeframe, know obviously this can change and will but it looks promising as of now. Ok so you all got your marching orders, I’m sure PWL will do his dancing and whatever everyone else does as their snow ritual go ahead and start and let’s break a record!! Funny ritual I do is leave my shovels outside the house which means “snows are not done, more to come”Bigdaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-27877904685000144012023-03-01T06:46:46.640-06:002023-03-01T06:46:46.640-06:00It is absolutely puking snow this morning,

Not normal. We have had so much rain this month that could have been snow. I remember someone commenting that they didn't even want to talk about it on this blog unless it is snow. However...... it is still 'winter weather.' In the metro it is supposed to go into the 20's tonight. If we can't get some melting going on and drying of roads this p.m., it's not going to be a pretty picture. The accidents on the metro freeways this morning were 'amazing'....... multiple cars smashed into each other on one ramp; an SUV on its roof on another, and even the system that reports accidents was 'frozen' and couldn't report. I miss 'good old winter.'
