Good Tuesday everyone-
BRR! It is really, really cold out there this morning...especially considering it is March 4th! (The subject of a joke about the only date that is a command). Today's weather- sunny but really, really cold! Yikes! The highest snowfall total that I saw yesterday was 8.5" in Maryland, so the heavy stuff missed us by about 200 miles south. Close! We may not get as lucky this weekend, however, as a plowable snow is possible Sunday morning...accumulations don't look too major right now (2-4" maybe) but could obviously go up or down (It's another one of those clipper/nor'easter hybrids we've seen so many of this winter). With moderating temps this weekend, many were wondering if the final spring warm up was finally here. The answer is....heck NO NO NO NO NO. In fact, it won't just be cold, it will be FRIGID by the middle of next week, with many areas below 0 and some chances of snow. This winter just won't quit! Enjoy today, and I'll update tomorrow with more on the Sunday morning snow event!
Today in weather history- March 4, 1899- The largest storm surge in a hurricane ever recorded in the world occurs when a Category 5 cyclone (as they are called in Australia) produces a 42.6' storm surge, killing 400 people.
BONUS!- March 4, 1909- A blizzard occurs during President William Howard Taft's inauguration, as the weather bureau forecasted fair weather. Instead, a nor'easter rapidly intensifies of the New Jersey coast and dumps a foot of snow on the region. This lead to a lot of trouble for the weather bureau as well!
