This is not what I want!

[tomboudreau]

I did not want to wake up this morning and seeing a Winter Storm Watch has been posted for my area for tomorrow. I did not want to get another snow storm this year. We have had enough of winter and I am really ready for spring. I know this is March, and I know that winter will not go down without a fight...but I didn't want to see this. We have the possiblity of seeing 7 to 10 inches of snow from this feature. I also heard last week that Punxsy boro has ran out of winter supplies and they didn't order any backups, so there is no anti-skid material or liquid stuff they put on the road. So I can just wonder how good the roads are going to be tomorrow when this storm hits. So after all this, I for one want to see this system go South, way south of my area and not have any affect on me. Here is some of the writeups from the weather service offices around me:

NWS Pittsburgh Discussion:

CLOSED LOW MOVING OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL SPREAD SNOW INTO
OUR CWA LATE TONIGHT. WWE SNOW AMOUNTS HAVE A LARGE AREA OF 9 INCHES
N OF KPBZ WITH 7-9 INCHES THROUGH PIT AND 3 INCHES ALONG OUR
SOUTHERN BORDER. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH HOW MUCH WARM AIR WILL BE
PULLED N WITH CLOSED H8 LOW THAT MOVES IN FROM THE WEST OF KPBZ.
BOTH GFS AND ETA AGREE ON H8 CLOSED LOW PLACEMENT. UPPER FLOW HAS
NEGATIVE TILT WHICH WOULD ALSO SUPPORT NORTHWARD WAA. FOR ZONES
SOUTH OF PIT WE WENT WITH A MIXTURE OF SNOW, SLEET AND FREEZING
RAIN. SOME ICE ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE. TUESDAY NIGHT LOW GOES TO THE
COAST.

NWS State College discussion:

OUR FIRST...AND POSSIBLY MOST SIGNIFICANT WEATHER MAKER THIS WEEK
WILL COME IN THE FORM OF A WINTER STORM TUESDAY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
CURRENTLY SHOWS A POTENT UPR SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED 100+ KT JET
STREAK DIVING SE TWD THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES. GFS WHICH HAS EASILY
BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT MODEL WITH THE STORM TRACK SHOWS LOW
PRESSURE AT THE SFC GRADUALLY STRENGTHENING TUESDAY MORNING AS IT
MOVES NE UP THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE WILL
DEVELOP NEAR THE DELMARVA LATE TUESDAY AND MOVE UP THE EAST COAST
TUESDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...STRONG UPPER FORCING WILL REMAIN IN TACT
ACROSS CENTRAL AND WRN PENN AS THE INCREASINGLY NEG TILT UPPER
TROUGH LIFTS ACROSS THE AREA.

DRY SLOT ALOFT MOVING ENE TWD EXTREME SRN PENN LATE TUESDAY WILL
BRING THE LIKELIHOOD OF INCREASED CSI SNOW BANDS WITH LOCALLY 1-2
INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES POSSIBLE LATE TUESDAY MORNING AND TUES
AFTERNOON. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR UP TO 9 OR 10 INCHES ACROSS THE WRN
AND NRN MTNS...AND ANYWHERE FROM 5 TO 8 INCHES ACROSS THE CENTRAL
MOUNTAINS. LOWER ELEVATION AND LATER STARTING TIME OF THE SNOW
ACROSS THE SUSQ VALLEY "SHOULD" CUT DOWN ON ACCUMULATIONS BY 2 OR 3
INCHES. WARMER BLYR WITH SFC TEMPS POKING INTO THE MID OR UPPER 30S
ACROSS THE REGION SOUTH AND SE OF KMDT COULD LEAD TO A MIXING WITH
RAIN AND SLEET...LIMITING SNOWFALL IN THAT AREA TO AROUND 3 OR 4
INCHES.

LINGERING LIGHT SNOW WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF TUESDAY
NIGHT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PARTS OF OUR CWA WITH AN
ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO POSSIBLE.

I'm sorry to vent but I just don't want another snow storm. We have received 67.3 inches and that is enough this winter. I'm ready for spring and I'm ready to go golfing! Thanks for listening.

You don't want the snow? I'll glady take it for you!

[tomboudreau]

No, I dont want the snow. If you want it, come and take it away. I also forgot to mention, the ground is bare and mostly thawed on the top layer. And some of the grass is turning green again.

Come on Tom. It's cold enough here to snow, so I will take the snow. I am looking at about 4-6. I hate the cold but will compromise if snow comes with it. I still need about 15 inches to hit normal this year.

Isn't there some rule about posting against wanting snow on this board?

[nystate]

Winter storm watch has been posted for the counties just south of me. Hopefully as time goes on my county will get one as well. We still need about 90 inches to get to last year's level.

Interesting. You have seen 67.3 inches of snow in Punxsutawney, PA, Tom. Many areas are below average for snowfall this year.
