Oh I'm not done yet.  Not by a long shot.  Just interesting seasonal 
pattern of bringing snow, occasionally substantial, but never sticking 
around for more than a week before the next thaw.  However, we did have a 
solid two weekends in a row without a thaw and substantial snowfall, so 
that was good.

All indications point to winter returning after early next week.  ETA/NAM 
is way far south with the GFS' large rainstorm on Tuesday...and would 
actually bring snowfall instead.  It'll be watched as the trend 
southeastward is interesting but I'm still forecasting precipitation in 
the form of rain Sun-Wed next week.  After that, a weak Polar Vortex is 
forecasted to form over eastern Canada and will bring temps back to 
consistently below freezing by the end of next week through next weekend.  
A few snow chances in the cards, too.  Still, not seeing a "big" one in 
terms of a nor'easter (upslope is great, but a large nor'easter is more 
exciting in my mind from a weather standpoint)...second half of March 
could be our best chance for one in the north as far as climatology and 
set-up goes.

Never losing hope...
