Wow, I didn't think you'd see snow that far south this late in the season!
The snow around here has largely melted. I see the sun out there!
For real! I was all set to work from home, so when I got up, I didn't even open the curtains to look out the window. I did an exercise video and then turned on the news, and they weren't in Snowmageddon mode, so I looked out the window and nary a flake had fallen. Now they are saying it won't really get going until the afternoon. It's gone from over a foot to 3 to 6 inches. So I'm at the office.
I went in at 7:30 and left at 10 when it started here. But it’s still not sticking and it’s 11:30. I don’t even know what we’re expecting at this point. My own prediction is maybe 4 inches, if I’m lucky.
New York City is supposed to get hit bad (for them, since they don’t usually get the brunt of snowstorms). Their projection is 12-18 inches, 1-3 inches per hour. Visibility will be bad. A commuters nightmare. Time to check on my daughter to see if she’s working from home today. *fingers crossed*
I heard that as well about NYC. I don't think we will get anything until 5 or so. I may leave a bit early to beat the snow. I need to check the hourly forecast.
I hope your daughter will be OK!
So we had about 12 flakes, Woke up from a good 90 minute nap expecting to see white when I looked out the window, and nothing! I think we’re done. 
I can’t believe “they” fell for it “again” and cancelled everything...schools closed and really couldn’t afford to be. They’re already giving back time. I feel bad for that. My son’s job closed so he missed a day’s work. I lost 4.5 hours but at least I get paid because I have a lot of time accruals or I can even make up the time if I want.

The same thing happened here. We got a dusting, after original forecasts for a foot or more. The whole state practically closed down for pretty much a nonstorm. I worked at my office the full day, and it only started snowing around 6:30. It never amounted to squat. I'm so tired of the sensationalized forecasting. I mean, we live up north. In winter, it snows. I think the TV stations need to stop the endless coverage, especially when it amounts to nothing. But they have to justify the ridiculous salaries they pay these people. One station here even has a "snow monster" SUV that basically goes around the state interviewing people about how they will handle the storm and "reporting" on road conditions. It's so stupid. What a complete waste of resources. How about spending that money on real news coverage? Grrr.So we had about 12 flakes, Woke up from a good 90 minute nap expecting to see white when I looked out the window, and nothing! I think we’re done.

I am glad you got something.
March seems to have been the most snowy of the winter months.

Sunny but cold & very windy. By the time the sun goes down, the feels-like temp will be 10°F....

It was an awesome day today! Started out chilly, in the mid 40's but warmed up quickly with the bright sunshine. I think it reached the upper 70's. And the wind was only a pleasant breeze!

A retiring Bill Patzert, JPL’s ‘Prophet of California Climate,’ leaves behind a legacy of ocean research and media appearances – Pasadena Star News
I read this and realized why I haven’t seen his name in weather/climate news lately; he retired a couple of months ago. I just came across the article doing a search for El Niño because I was wondering if there were any rumblings from climate scientists about a new El Niño. The end of the article might be a hint.

Now that we are done with the snow, I probably won’t be in here much. Pretty much no interest in the weather at this point, lol. Unless something dramatic happens like a hurricane.
The next two weeks looks pretty dreary...a few sunny days in the 50’s which will feel really nice. But way too many rainy days in the 40’s. Rain = yuck. At this point I will be rooting for Summer to arrive. I think I actually hate Spring because it’s never nice enough. It’s just a rainy, sloppy, muddy mess. Spring is over-rated, IMO, as there are never enough days with sun and Spring flowers, which is a shame, really.

It appears the weather enjoys April Fool's jokes, as well....
Spring, huh? HA! How's about 22° instead?!
