Either way, I’ll take it over sunny and warm. 8-)
When looking out the window I'll take any type of snow over rain any day of the year. :thumbup:

It's disgustingly mild here, already up to 3.9C. Probably because I only got down to -1.0C last night.

My low for the past week is just -2.6C... fml. :thumbdown:

Exactly! I think everyone understands the difficulty in receiving sticking snow during daylight hours in March. Let’s just enjoy it falling and anything more is a bonus. :thumbup:

The question is , will we be getting a Red Alert from EC, warning us that we are in imminent danger.

Very light flurries here. Given how impressive the radar is, I’m guessing that’s not a good thing?
