Northern weather

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Escaped with a dusting...hopefully this is the last of it, although the cold looks to persist for the next week or so.

We got a whole of nothing; yesterday was a pretty decent day. Today is just a bit colder.......

[robert.]

We got about 2 inches here. Winds are starting to howl.

[J. S. Bach]

Had a minor accumulation of frost this morning.

Weather Channel already calling another Nor'easter for next week...Jim Cantore is such a tool.

Have you noticed they stopped naming this storms?

[healey36]

I thought this last one was Skylar, or something like that.

It was Skylar and the names through the rest of the alphabet are already chosen.

Next storm is Toby, then Uma, Violet, Wilbur, Xanto, Yvonne, and Zoey.

What, no Groucho?
Zeppo?

Zeppo?

Sadly, no. I am not consulted on these actions....

Weather Channel doubled down today on their Mar. 20-22 storm prediction...calling heaviest snow along the Mason-Dixon line, 8-12". NOAA appears to corroborate, although too early to provide any prediction for accumulation. Both the GFS and Euro models indicate a major snowfall for northern Maryland and southeastern Pennsylvania.

WC downgraded expected accumulations to “a few inches of light snow”. Works for me...no interest in dragging out the snow-shovels.

Just saw the forecast on the morning news - seems the usual cluelessness and that we might be getting some snow or not, but maybe yes, and there might be flurries, or not, or some small accumulation or not, or some "wintry mix" and that all might occur Tues and Wed, or not.

I've really reached the point of not really caring anymore.

I have to care and am concerned because I have committed to taking my pastor to his first appointment with a new doctor (my recommendation) quite a ways out of town, and I don't feel I should suggest cancelling because we had the same first-appointment for last Tuesday, when it was predicted we would have a heavy snow, and all we got was enough to accumulate on the lawns but not stay on the roadways. We cancelled the appointment for a dubious but well intentioned reason, so I felt somewhat badly, but still sure I did the right choice to stay off the roads.

So, here I am back again with the same worry. Snow or no snow. Significant enough to cause danger? One has to keep in mind that snow on roadways isn't the entire story; there are always the ever-present mental-cases who come at ya.
