It's a BAD one, but it's warm.

No snow (yet, but it may be coming shortly), but rain up to 15 inches in spots, over a weekend. SFO is seeing 51 knot gusts and is a total mess. Several locations in the coastal mountains and the Sierra Nevada are under flash flood watches.
 
We had a very good snow several days ago, and today's the first day above freezing in a while. Wonderful sunny day today, and warmer tomorrow. Of course, that's bringing forecasts of some very high winds.

I got to fly through snow for the first time yesterday. Oh wait, this thread was NA. My bad. ;)
 
Got our high winds, for sure! Many folks report poor sleep since it was 30-50 mph all night. I half-dreamed there were animals fighting on the roof - elk, in fact.

18 inches yesterday. A jackpot. Light and fluffy. Drifts to 3 feet. About 10 degrees right now. Winter just starting and I hate this already.

You must be down in the Cape area... they got hit pretty hard.

And, agreed... ready for spring.
 
Snowed this past weekend. This coming Friday the forecast high is 71. Gotta love it.

No way! I lived south of the mason-dixon for 30 years... don't miss it. I love having actual seasons now and being able to go outside in the summer. I just wish winter was a bit shorter.

Grew up in the snow belt and then lived in mid-state NY for many years, endured lows as low as -30. I'm totally done with that and perfectly happy to have moderate winters.
 
Six inches of the heavy wet stuff overnight followed by freezing drizzle but the temp is going to 42 today so it wont last long (I hope).
 
A few years ago we had almost three feet of snow here in one night. The school was still open the next morning. So was everything else. The various road crews and private plow guys just started plowing when the snow started, and kept plowing until it stopped. The rest of us who are too cheap self-reliant to use commercial plow services got up early and fired up our snow blowers. The faint din of snow blower engines interrupted the otherwise quiet morning in Sparrow Fart that day.

I actually chuckled as I drove past the school on the way to the Post Office. Those poor kids never get snow days.
