12 hours and 2 minutes of daylight today, with Spring Equinox 3 days away. Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Breezy and unseasonably cold weather today with some snow flurries possible this afternoon into the evening. There will be a hard freeze tonight so protect any plants that you may have put outside already. We will continue with below normal temperatures through Thursday (upper 30's to upper 40's) before we moderate to nearly normal both Friday and Saturday (low to mid 50's). Our next chance of rain or snow looks to possibly arrive on Friday night. We will fall back to below normal temperatures by next Monday.

This week is miserable. I thought we would at least get some sun.

I had to zoom in to the back corner of my yard. The yard is not too small. I did not make that pile myself, though it is a heavily shaded side so I guess it just survived. Other than that, no snowpack remains.

After the next 3 days, looks like lows will be back in the 30s. Not a huge fan of this "AR" weather, as the temperatures are a bit high. The rain is nice, but snow is even better. Maybe we get another chance next week based on the Euro and GFS runs.
