Snow (2 Viewers)

[Warrior]

Traveled to Lancaster PA on Thursday to attend the aptly named Cold Wars Wargaming convention; went north, west and then south to do my best to avoid the snow.

Forecast was calling for 1-3 inches in Lancaster, ending around noon.

As I got to Reading PA around 1:00PM, the snow was coming down sideways, 3 to 6 inches on the ground, as got onto 222 to get to Lancaster, it got worse, 222 looked like a cross country ski slope. Accidents, spin outs, trucks jackknifing, unbelievable.

I was told in PA they wait until the snow stops before the plow.

What a brilliant plan; I got there in one piece, took about 9 hours.............the winter that just does not want to end.

It was 65F in Seattle today with full sunshine and not a cloud in sight. I was in T-shirt in my backyard...and we haven't had rain for a while. Not sure what's going on but it starts to feel like California here.

That's odd. You must have taken a wrong turn. {eek3} It's sunny and warm here in Toronto. And the forecast for the entire week is sunny and warm. Maybe you should drive north for spring break. ^&grin

On this the ninth day of March in the year of our lord 2015, I hereby declare winter to be at an end. Let us commence complaining about the heat and lawn care.

I will start complaining about lawn care when I can see the lawn! {eek3}

Hit 60 today and we lost about half our snow cover. What a pity.^&grin -- Al

The sun barely dented the snow up here.

Same here. We barely hit 40F but not a cloud in the sky and the intense sunlight melted 1/3 of the snow. It's staying warm and sunny all week. Snow should be gone by the weekend.

I jumped the gun on ending winter. 2-4 inches of snow expected here tomorrow on the first day of spring.

I love this time of year.:rolleyes2: Tuesday was beautiful and temps got to 70. Spring has sprung. By next morning the temps were down to low 20's, windchill in the teens and by Friday we have snow and sleet due. Gotta love March. -- Al

The snow is slowly disappearing (but not yet gone). We'll see what tomorrow brings

3 inches predicted for Toms River. I'm sure the run on bread & milk has begun. Last storm there was a run on whiskey to.

The US Weather Service has called this Winter the warmest in history (worldwide) although Canada may dispute that, but it will take a while because the Canadian weather station in the Maritimes is still under 17 ft. of snow, the unprecedented pack ice has halted the ferry service and the bridge to Prince Edward Island was closed due to snowstorms.
