Has anyone realized that we let yesterday get by without recognizing it was the 30th anniversary of the Blizzard of 1993?

Thirty years means that the next time the NWS recalculates seasonal snowfall averages, this storm will drop off Chattanooga's records. It will likely place our average annual snowfall below 2 inches. When I was a kid, this was Atlanta's average.

knew it …. Didn’t hardly effect us here no biggie lol

Even I was on the outer edge of the effects of it. I believe I only had 1 or 2 inches on the west side of Nashville. What I remember was the wind to enhance what was otherwise a fairly minor event. South and east of Nashville was where the impact began to really pick up. I was just reading... 56 inches of snow from that on Mt. Le Conte.

The coolest high temperature I see in the next two weeks is a 47 today and then again on Sunday. A little up and down in between. Looks like a warming trend next week back into the 70s. By that time, we're getting into late March with April knocking on the door. I hope long range clown maps are done teasing some of you all still grasping at straws for winter weather, for your own emotional well-being. 

Can never discount wet snowflakes in April and some fluke surprise for someone. It's all nuisance for me after this point. I've just never gotten much excited about a quick slush on the grass that melts by noon. That's just me. 

I always look to spring after the first 10 days of March. It can snow after that but it’s not hanging around. Nobody likes snow more than me but this year just isn’t the one. Not the worst winter ever but it’s definitely in the back half of the pack. But we had 2 decent winters prior to this year, and in a 3rd La Niña was asking a lot. Bring on spring, next winter we will step up to the plate again. In Tennessee you never know from one year to the next. North America overall did pretty well this year. The west had record breaking snows, as well as the upper Midwest and upper plains. Minnesota especially south-central Minnesota was snowfall city this year. I am sure Minneapolis-St Paul is well above normal snowfall probably close to records if not breaking them.

I remember it well. It was the biggest snow I've ever seen at my house. There were drifts up to my knees (see profile pic).

3/14 12Z model runs say we are still in the game for next week, 7 days from now.

26 degrees for a low in March over spring break is not cool.  This week in March is sub par weather year in year our. You can book it. I’ve been teaching for 11 years and we haven’t scored a nice spring break yet.

Because it’s not Spring.

What seems like endless days of 95 degree heat along with the humidity will be here before you know it, so I enjoy all the cold/cool we can get before summer sets in.

Yep, I hate how early it is.

Today's model runs show only a fish storm so we can close the book on this one I think.

How isn't there a wind advisory. The wind is pretty strong for no advisory.
