Yes, usually in the NE in Winter sunny means cold and warmer means precipitation! But this is what the NOAA has predicted in March (your fault):

Northern Virginia here, this is a big problem for me. Medical issues. Breathing cold air brings immediate, immobilizing heart pain and breathing issues. I’m out of everything, so I’ll have to suck it up and go to the store today. Crap.

If I had the kind of money that liberals seem to think we all have, I’d move to Oahu.

I regret having used more than my fair share of toilet paper. I’m so not worthy...

Enjoy the 🌞.

IOW, whatever NOAA predicts, expect the opposite.

Anyone have a Farmer’s Almanac?

Or know what they forecasted?

I demand climate justice reparations. I will private message you with my NH address so that you can send a check.

BTW, I self-identify as a Negro so you can send that reparations check too.

I self identify as a Black Muslim Lesbian Woman, so send me a few bucks too.

I think it is overall often too vague (sunny means warm or cold?) unreliable . Mar 1-6 was certainly not cold:

Looks like it will miss us by that much

significant snow threats through midweek next week as Canadian Arctic air spills south

Blame Canada ping.

[Steven Scharf]

I will take snow and 30 plus over the 5 degrees it is where I am working today in Maine. Luckily it should be a quick job.

[BlueDragon]

The storm will be of short duration. 20 packages should suffice.

The way I see it, other fambly members could go fetch their own supply of necessities, or do without.

Funny you say that. I recently went to visit in-laws in Florida and they had the refrigerator full of Yuengling. It's like they knew what I needed to get through that week! By mid-week, I was already replenishing the supply.

Back in the Northeast and actually looking forward to the snowstorm next week. I like mid-March snowstorms because the snow never sticks around that long. The high sun angles and warmer average temps will melt most of that stuff away by the weekend.

Forget Twinkies and milk. It’s beer and pizza for me.

Only 1.4 inches of snow here in DC (official measurement of what fell at Reagan National Airport) so far this winter. I’m ready for a nice 3-4 inches to fall on Monday night and Tuesday. It can even snow into Wednesday. :)

I played golf on Thursday, it was in the low 50s. Today we hit 15, and the golf course has 4 inches of snow on it.

looks like 5-8 tus and another 1-3 wed here, at least winters almost over
