Rain then more cold weather

Well, the storm for once actually outdid what I thought it would do and dropped a general 4-8 inches in the DC metro area. I mentioned on Saturday that were were in the bullseye and would probably see 3-4 inches before a changeover but we actually got a bit more. The local TV mets were clueless as nobody called for snow despite the models trending colder at the upper levels. Oh well.....But i really didnt think that DC south and east would get as much as they did.

Next event is Rain and it will be in the Thursday-Friday morning time frame. Temps will be in the 50's. Big snow and Ice storm for Interior New England. A skiers delight. After the storm passes, its going to get pretty cold for a few days. Right now, the first week of March looks like it will be well below normal. We should see a moderation in the 2nd week of March but after that...i do think it goes cold again. We may have seen our last snowstorm at least in the DC-philly area...but Im not ready to concede 100%. This maybe a winter that doesnt want to let go.
