3.  "Stardust" - Bryan El  (http://youtu.be/6S3g_cXmEio)

Stardust, I've heard of them before. I have a remixed version of their song "Music Sounds Better With You" that I found from a video game awhile back.

17°F snow and freezing fog

The snow will be tapering off within a few hours. Originally forecast to bring us a foot or more of snow just two nights ago, we wound up getting only about 3-4 inches. Gotta love transition seasons and how poorly predicted winter storms can be as a result.

The album is now on CDBaby http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/chrisgeith3

....and HEAT INDEX is on it!  Out of all the songs for some reason I never expected that one to be in the album. Would have been nice if First Gust and Down by the Ocean were in it though. Overall I'm impressed.

35°F and Clear

A winter storm watch is in effect for Sunday night-Monday's storm. Originally forecast to be a mix changing to snow, the track has since been shifted southward, so we're looking at a mostly snow event now. As such, our snowfall totals have increased from 4-6" to 8-12". To make matters worse, I've been seeing reports that another winter storm is possible March 21-22. If this below average pattern continues into summer I'm so done.

I hate double-posting here, but it's still important enough for everyone:  Next Sunday on March 9 is when we spring forward to Daylight Saving Time, so don't forget what to do in a week from now.

I think we've just spring forwarded to winter here.

I've been able to obtain Distanza (09/2011) from him, but not Weight of the World. Told me that it's "not available for purchase at this time." Any further emails sent by others I know to him have since been ignored.

That song is "Weight of the World" by Greg Minnick. It is n/a for purchase.

Only human observers manning an ASOS station can report funnel clouds (coded as FC) and tornadoes (coded as +FC), because there is no way the automated equipment can detect those things.  However, the NWS icons have to handle all possible conditions whether reported by automation or by human.

Do human operated stations still ever report showers/rain showers (SHRA)? I haven't seen such a report from the manned stations since ~2005 or so.

13°F Sunny, feels like 3°F

I thought everything was all said and done with snow, but now we're supposed to get another snow/ice event on Monday.

I like the new icons, and especially like the idea of highlighting days where weather advisories are in effect. They needed to redesign the icons after the forecast pages were updated. They don't match well, and they were also enlarged in the new format to a point where they are heavily pixelated.

38.5°F Overcast

Slowly loosing my snowpack 

I'll take your and give it a 


31°F with a few clouds and breezy.

There have been a few on and off flurries throughout the day, and a brief snow event overnight will bring about an inch or so. Outside of piles left by snow plows, the roads and grass here are pretty much free of snow after being well above freezing for five days.

Sounds to me like Comcast combined our two headends, which probably explains why my radars/maps were shifted to focus more on Mt Holly as opposed to Fort Dix.

Hmm, Mine said at 2:08 PM EST,

Mt. Holly,
Food.
Sleep.
Weather

 

Woah woah woah, since when was 21865's CC city changed to Mount Holly?! I know for a fact that's served my my STAR 21872... 21865 serves the river side communities between Delran and Bordentown. I know before the WATT relaunch the city was Burlington, which was far more appropriate.

Also, I noticed some of my radar cities were altered today.  Anyone else encountered any changes to theirs?

38°F Mostly Cloudy

After yesterday's snowfall, our total for the season is now 55.4", making this winter the third snowiest on record (behind 2009-10 and 1995-96). Unless anything changes I don't think we'll be surpassing anymore records as we're still 10 inches away from beating #2's. High temperatures will be well above freezing for the next several days so hopefully I can see my back lawn again for the first time in over a month.
