First few impulses here will hit late this afternoon and evening but will be mostly rain showers. HRRR and RGEM are in good agreement with snow flurries in the early morning.

Mulroney died. Maybe that will lift my March jinx?

It’s feeling pretty ominous on the west side. Feels like a thunderstorm is on the way.

Between -1C and -3C. So might have a bit more cold to work with than this past snow event Tuesday night. :silent: :wave:

We are now conducting an experiment to test that hypothesis. If I record measurable snowfall IMBY next month, the hypothesis will be falsified.
