We got a dusting around 7pm.  The cold air came though.  Should have gone skiing, got sunny, not very windy

Our dusting pretty much completely sublimated.  -15C all day, and most the snow is gone.

Thought it must be inches, but the tenths threw me off.  I know how you imperial folks like you quarters, eighths and sixteenths...  very "metric" of you.  :lol:

Our 3-4 inches of snow (lightest fluffiest I have seen) that fell Thursday aft and friday night, was gone mostly by yesterday morning.  Totally gone by midday yesterday from rain and warm temps Sunday through Monday.  Forecast above freezing and above normal for next one to two weeks.

Same here.  Very strange shovelling at 5am, then coming home 9 hours laters to 10C (50F) and grass.

March 1st and biggest storm of the season. A paltry 5.6"

Looks like spring is very early here like the rest of the country.
Should pass the 70 degree mark this weekend and getting close to 80° the beginning of next week. WOW!

I'll be cutting my grass in a few weeks too. Never have cut it in April as far back as I remember.

Will be cutting grass here too shortly in west central kansas. Had 1 big snowstorm on Dec.20.2011 of 14inches and that was it other than 1-2in here and there. Mild for the most part. Very odd winter for most of the country.

Looks like Buffalo may get the biggest snow storm of the season.
Areas sound of there may get up to 10"

Too warm here for snow. Thats good, because it was a long boring winter.

Could get a grassy coating here, but the App Mountains could get 8 inches!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Looks like this could be a very wet snow so 8 inches could cause some problems. :-(

No accumulation here.  The forecasters are 0 for their last 3 snowcasts.  First big storm this coming (2012-13) winter will be duly ignored, and that will be the one they get bang-on or underestimate.
