3/1 - 12pm - Meteorological Spring!

Welcome to the first day of Meteorological Spring! March 1st marks the beginning of what we call spring in meteorology, which runs through March, April, and May. Astronomical Spring starts on March 20th, when the Vernal equinox occurs and the sun crosses the equator.

It may be the first day of spring in a meteorological sense, but it sure didn't feel like it. We had a dusting of snow last night in town, causing many accidents on the interstates when temperatures dropped below freezing and existing water and snow froze to the roadways. We got pretty lucky considering how much snow fell in the south yesterday:



You can see on the map that areas just north of Memphis got pounded with over a foot of snow. Memphis itself received a wide range of snow totals, from around 3 to 11 inches. Other parts of the south are still getting snow, especially areas around Atlanta right now.

Temperatures will soar into the 60's later this week and rain chances look slim to none at this point. As far as the rest of this month goes, I don't think we're done with the snow. The long range GFS is pointing at a roller-coaster pattern with plenty of precipitation to go around. I really don't know if we'll get another big storm or not, but this is the time of year when surprises happen... like last March:



Take a look at the new blog banner if you haven't noticed it... there are also a few minor layout changes I made as well.
