The real Fassnacht storm

OK so I kind of jumped the gun last week calling that light dusting the Fassnacht storm.

As someone posted in the comments that is just tempting nature to give us a real storm and low and behold it delivered.

We had a little over 10 cm over the past day or so and it doesn't look like it is going away till later in the week. We can take comfort in that the forecast is that spring will return for the long weekend.

And yes the weather station contest is still on, we have only gone above 15 C a couple of times so far and even the long term forecast doesn't get that high. So it looks like it might be while yet before we have a winner.

With Fassnacht now history, perhaps there may be an opportunity for Fassnacht 2? No consistent sign of a 20 C reading yet in the longer range charts. We will need a major pattern change to achieve that, and with all these strong Pacific systems racing east across North America, it's gonna be hard to get a 20 C reading here this month anyways.
