When will it be spring?

[Cirrus2000]

HDD and CDD (Heating Degree Day and Cooling Degree Day) are indexes of how much heat is required for comfiness in a building. More info is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_degree_day

Pcpn is precipitation - snow is distilled down to the water equivalent, measured in inches. Snow is snowfall for the day, and Snwg is "Snow on the Ground" - total depth of snow. Both of those are in inches, also.

Wow- excellent! Thanks for the help.

We got a lot of cold rain last night and this morning here in SoCal. :-(

[Scott Card]

Felicia, no frownie faces allowed about So. Cal weather. I know what "suffering" you are going through. I lived in LA/ Glendale for three years and never once put on a real coat. I always cracked up when I would go to school and there were a bunch of people in parkas "just freezing" and I was in my sweatshirt. BTW, your rain will be our rain/snow tonight and tomorrow. BUT we did have a very nice weekend.

Strange---It's 44 deg. outside and snowing here.

[Felicia]

Yup - that was my point. The moisture is heading your way and it is cold enough to be snow. It has continued to rain off and on all day and it is still very cold; cold to me. ;-)

[oldno7]

and it is still very cold; cold to me. ;-)

Your not talkin' like clear down to the lower 70's are you?

[Felicia]

Nope. ~54 today. :-}

I thought the same thing as Felicia today: "Dang, winter is back in the Santa Cruz Mountains and headed on its way over to S. Utah". It doesn't matter that it's relatively warmer over here in NorCal than Utah but that a big 'ole winter storm pattern has come back to roost.

[oldno7]

A total of about 2" here in the yard this morning. We got around 1" yesterday afternoon and it melted before the sun went down.
This will go fast also, I'm just tired of this "White Christmas" look.............

haha
I was in the bay area (Marin county) last week and saw people sporting full on winter jackets with gloves while I was rocking a t-shirt. Pretty hilarious to see people who think the 60's are freezing.

I see the Virgin hit 1000 cfs(!) today. That sounds like a lot of meltwater! Can I ask what things are looking like on the ground?

[trackrunner]

there are weather cams. perhaps the rain water is melting the snow fast that would be my guest.

[sarahlizzy]

This makes me happy! I am optimistic that the narrows will be open in June for when I visit!

[ratagonia]

It has been raining down low, snowing up high. Not the best combo. hoping for a hot spell to encourage snow melting...

We had over 1" of rain yesterday(we are @ 6000') Snow level looks like it came down to around 7500'. The storm we had came straight from the South, I'd presume Zion had good accumulation.

The ground is white in East Layton.

[rockgremlin]

Moab got lots of rain last night, with a dusting of snow on the rim. Further south towards La Sal got up to one inch of snow. It's a bit chilly.

[oldno7]

Are you kidding me???????

It's currently 66deg. and breezy. Bar. pressure 29.68 and falling.

Did I ever mention, I'm tired of this white stuff?

[rockgremlin]

Warm, mostly sunny, very windy in Moab.
