Really psyched about our possibility of so many storm threats and nice cold temps.

Going to be a lot of melt today on the mountains. Only 12-20 inch base. With 2" of rain I would expect the rivers around here to rise rapidly with the temps and aforementioned weak base.

Yeah.a.little depressing to see it go...we only have a small patch left....hope school is going well and here is to fresh snow falling next week!!

Remainder of snowpack holding temps down for now and also got much colder last night than forecast, woke up to near freezing temps and was only supposed to drop to near 40+. Current temp 41 degrees and expected high near 60, not sure we'll get there. Lots of dense fog in localized areas as well, weird to see this late in the day and no advisories from NWS (figures).

41°
Baro 29.75↓
moderate rain

The heavier rain is still 2-3 hours away. Just scattered showers ahead of the front right now

Looks like a snowpack killer and flood disaster where the heaviest amounts of snow 30"+ in NOVA, MD and PA are under barrage of heaviest returns, looks like quite a bit of very heavy rain.

My river is forecast to crest 3 feet over flood stage, I hope they account snow melt in this....

Theyre expecting the worst crest in 2 years? That doesnt sound right. Unless theres that much qpf locked in the snow they expect to be released with the rain all at once and the river already swelled from normal. This could be bad.

.64 in the bucket so far
46°

Lol my snow is gone wow 54 and it is depressing with steady rain I hope by next week we will get our snow back

Snow still on the ground, balding spots increasing though, dense fog and heavy rain, surprised still no fog advisory.

54 with steady rain my snow pack is almost gone I can't believe it

The very little evidence of snow remaining is gone. Only large parking lots have some snow left from there huge snow piles.
Heaviest rain of the day now 56*

Visibility is in the hundreds of feet here and even less in spots, very dense fog and rain. Mid 40s.

Snowpack other than shoveled or plowed piles all gone. .55" and poring right now.

Not much rain here yet

I have 4" still NNJ snow pack for the win. Awesome up here.
.72" rain

Light rain, fog,55.7 degrees and other than big snow piles...it's gone. 

It's like a damn sauna around here!

55* and cloudy. The fog when I left work this evening was really dense with very low visibility. It was actually pretty cool watching the fog rolling off the snowpack (which was disappearing almost right before my eyes).

There's nothing cool about melting snow and 55 degrees in February.

Haha. Yeah, I sort of agree. But I needed to find the silver lining because there was nothing else I could do. Trust me, I'd trade the fog for another snowstorm (just not next Monday to Wednesday).

54 here at 11PM. What month is this?
