Yes and most of the Northeast starting Tuesday ... Winter storm "Reggie" is on the way ... Happy digging out. No snow coming to North Carolina (maybe 1/2 inch which will quickly melt away)

 

[SKORPI0]

1"-3" Chicago area.

So that's where all our snow is going! March is supposed to be our snowiest month in Colorado, but I've seen hardly any.

MFer, I hate snow lol...

weather underground has a 12+ for my zip

 

[bruceb]

3 inches for Chicago doesn't count for much, when they usually get much more per storm and more storms per year.

I've seen snow in April before. But that was in Buffalo where nothing surprises. This... surprising.

Meh...it's been raining cats & dogs here on the Olympic Peninsula. MUCH better than that nasty snow stuff...

 

[Rubycon]

Looks like the eastern seaboard is going to have a major event on their hands.

 

[ch33zw1z]

I already whined about it earlier. I guess the only good thing is its supposed to be cold, which usually indicates powder, which the blower will eat no problem

We normally would be getting lot of snow here at this time but our weather has been all over the place. It rained about a week ago. Rained, in March! WTF? Right now it's -20 feels like -29. In a few days it's going to be above freezing again. Any snow we've been getting has just been melting. There's probably no more than like 2 feet on the ground, if that. A lot of it has melted.

The issue with this rollercoaster is the constant freeze/melt cycle is messing up everything, roads, driveway, etc. My roof has also been making really weird noises probably from lot of thermal expansion/contraction from the snow that keeps melting and refreezing.

I just want a normal winter, but in past few years it's been nothing but normal.

Are we neighbors?

We're supposed to get 12-18" on Tuesday. My SUV is going to the dealer on Monday - I'm hoping I can use the snowstorm as an excuse to get a new GX460/LX570 as a loaner instead of something tiny and 2wd...we shall see.

Close. I'm in Rockland County, NY which isn't very far from northern NJ.

 

[bruceb]

jlee --- where in NJ did you end up at ? I used to be in Wayne before leaving that high tax state to come to Apex, NC

 

[Exterous]

Just 2-6" of snow predicted here. I work from home the first couple of days so, unless I lose power, there won't be much effect on my life

 

[bruceb]

We are getting very light snow here in Apex, NC ... about 1/4 inch so far. Not a problem as no errands to run today.

 

[lxskllr]

Can't wait! We're supposed to get 1'+. Crazy for as late as it is here. My tulips and daffodils aren't gonna be happy, but I'll be. Hope it kills some bugs too.

thatch not even close to accurate for western NY unless those measurements are in Milimeters

 

[bruceb]

That is mainly a Canadian site .. it default to French, but you can change it to English .. That dbz measures moisture reflectivity .. The higher the dbs number, the more moisture for the area you are looking at. More info about it here:
