Snowbound
The almanac predicted in my region a quiet mild February. Not only did we have our second largest snowfall ever recorded(nearly 30 inches), this month is now on par to be our snowiest Feb ever.
The Amanac has been accurate on many occasions, but it sure had missed this one.
Extreme Weather
The weather were receiving in the Codorus Valley is far cooler in usual, most weather sporadic like usual, with the exception of brisk Northern winds with sub freezing temps, and major transitions of wind and snow over to torrential spring like downpours.
The major conflict in this area are the ocean borne moisture laden weather to the East and the frigid temps moving from the Northwest combining in clashes with the moisture stream moving from the south West.
Forecast off for central PA
We have had plenty of precipitation and cold(not mild) temperatures as predicted for our region!

Could happen but here’s hoping we were right some of the time… reports don’t come in until late March.

Just take your time; don’t let the snow get you.
Snow
In Elmira, NY, we got 21 inches just before Christmas, and some of it is still here, all you southern folk feel free to come on up and get all you want!
Asheville weather changes
There is no predicting blizzards especially here in WNC. The forecast for rain caught everyone off guard. Thunder snow is an amazing phenomenon and the rumble was long and loud as the rain changed to snow. '93
