Guys, it might snow tomorrow AM, on March 2. I think that's pretty cool.

I have moved around on the West Coast, and have never been in the same place where snow has fallen and stuck (until this afternoon).
It's called clown range for a reason.

Hopefully a measurable amount. Even a cm or two would do the trick. That’s the next jinx to break: measurable snow on or after March 1st.

Meh. Snow this time of year that melts in an hour doesn't really do it for me personally.

Oh, my childhood was fine. Lived first in the Midwest and then the Rockies. The latter in particular had lots of spring snow events.

I have seen flakes in the air that melt the instant they hit the ground perhaps two or three other times. I am not making this up.
Must be very unlucky as we've had March snow here (traces and measurable amounts) on more occasions than I can remember.

I know, I’m watching it too. :mrgreen:

Should be over soon but looks like I’ll pick up a cm or two.

Looks like there's a developing trailing line of precip behind the main bulk which is pointing more at western sections. We might luck out, maybe?
