March 24th? Is this really January? It’s snowing like mad outside right now and not supposed to stop until tomorrow. Accumulation predictions are anywhere from 2-4" to 5-8". Am I in Minnesota? Canada? Jeez, I thought we were done with this white stuff. It’s five days away from Opening Day for the Reds! Anyone else in the region getting pummeled with this shit? ---

Have about an inch on the ground here just south of Seattle. ---

It’s a big diagonal swath across the midwest. Just missed us here in Chicago. March hasn’t made the lion/lamb switch just yet. Good luck over there! ---

A couple of times, I’ve even seen it snow in May. (And no, I don’t live in the mountains, just close to them.) ---

(And no, I don’t live in the mountains, just close to them.) Oh, I’m sure I’d get used to it, along with a switch to an AWD or 4x4 vehicle. It’s just so late in the season to get it here in flyover. ---

You know when the Weather Folks say it’s raining, but it’s snowing, and the radar shows it’s snowing? I’ve got that. South of Salem in Oregon. This Winter is strange. ---

Sounds like Cincinnati meteorologists! I just checked the radar, and Cincinnati is surfing the very edge of a collapsing weather pattern that has rain to the north, south and directly east of here as the system moves west to east. We just keep staying right on that edge of the snow line. ---

Been snowing near all week out in the Sierras. Yesterday was sunny, but its snowing again today. I love it! ---

We just keep staying right on that edge of the snow line. North of Cincinnati we didn’t get much. Came down hard a couple of times, but nothing stuck to the roads, and barely any even on the grass. Looks like it is done now. Bit annoying, I had people freaking out yesterday, and cancelling appointments for today, and now they see the weather is fine, they want back in. ---

We’re looking at half a foot of snow in Indianapolis. Yesterday I went for a walk in the park without a jacket on. Ah well. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/on8O9fmR_8k/hqdefault.jpg "Damn you, Snow!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on8O9fmR_8k) ---

We had a forecast for 4-8" of snow last night/this morning. We got nothing. 60 miles south, on the Iowa border? 8+ inches. ---

No accumulation expected here, but we will have some snow in NC tonight. That’s a bit crazy.
