Banned for still having a winter signature when it's spring

Banned because if you were here yesterday you definitely wouldn't know it's Spring. Felt like 20 freakin' degrees outside while snowing.

Banned because "Better Luck Next Time" is your personal text.

Banned because I don't get the whole Bronies craze and maybe that's a good thing.

Banned because you're active again.

Banned because I was supposed to ban you anyway since you're the last poster.

Banning myself for breaking a ban record! YAY!

I had internet issues most of today. Stupid, crappy modem.  Luckily I'm not working on any projects that required use of the internet today.

Nothing here, but Weatherscan which I don't get anymore because it's higher up on the digital cable tier. There's also a "so called" Accuweather channel, but technically it's just a radar loop from our local NBC affiliate with local weather updates and occasional Accuweather segments/forecasts.

EDIT: Like Ana said, NWS is a great alternative.

...if you were invited to visit a person for four days, but told you have to bring your own food?

To answer your question, it depends. Are you going to be staying with this person during that 4 day visit or in a hotel?

54.0°F Partly Cloudy

Wow, I don't know what your high was for today, but ours was 41, so that puts me at least 13 degrees colder than you today. Very weird.

Right Now: 38, Cloudy Skies

We've had flurries for most of the day today. This makes Day #4 in the month of March where snow has been observed. The first two were trace events.

Seeing how much weather is dominating the conversation lately even on here, would you all be interested in having the weather boards expanded to allow you all more room for model discussions, forecasting, or even perhaps a weather trivia game or forecasting contest?  I gave everyone ideas in that thread several months ago, but I haven't seen anyone else try it, and I really don't want to do it all by myself.  So, I'd like some help from my team and from all of you with thoughts.

COUNT ME IN!

No.

Do you often tend to do your work (school or work-related) at the last minute?

I am so sick of all the cold weather! It's only in the 60s for a day or two, then below average temperatures again. I am wanting springtime thunderstorms, but the cold and stable air keeps ruining it. There's a chance south of me tonight and then tomorrow, a cold north wind and more subfreezing temperatures tomorrow night, Monday night and Tuesday night, with no more 60s until next Thursday. 

Sunday Night Mostly cloudy, with a low around 35. West wind around 15 mph.

Monday Mostly sunny, with a high near 48. Breezy, with a northwest wind 15 to 20 mph.

Monday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 31. West wind 5 to 15 mph.

Tuesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 47.

Tuesday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 29.

Wednesday Sunny, with a high near 54.

Wednesday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 36.

Thursday Partly sunny, with a high near 61.

Really? I had thunderstorms all morning today and our temps were only in the low to mid 40s. Very impressive lightning flashes (A few I think were cloud to ground) and loud thunder it caught me by surprise and woke me up from a great sleep.

Btw, we never got the snow and yet it managed to snow only two counties to my west. I'm in the minority, but I don't mind the cold weather for the remainder of March. I'm gonna sound selfish, but it can stay as cold as it likes until my Spring Break starting April 1st, then it's gonna have to get the heck outta here. 

EDIT: If there's a plus side, you're under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch tonight so maybe you'll get lucky.

Pfft, we barely reached 30 on Thursday and we got SNOW. Around this time last year we hit 81. We are getting another snowstorm 3 - 6" according to a few models on Monday. I am so sick and tired of this cold weather, it's killing my joints.

We can trade weather, you can take my thunderstorms and I'll take your snowstorm because I haven't had one in this s ty winter.
