Start of the Mid-Atlantic storm chase season

After my last post I became curious as to when the storm chase season began for us during the past few years. After perusing my chase logs (at www.cjwhite.us) this is what I found:

2003: 21 March
2004: 6 March
2005: 11 March
2006: 4 February (no March chases!)
2007: 2 March
2008: 8 March

Now, not all of these first chases were productive. As a matter of fact a couple of them were "wish chases" in the hopes of relieving a virulent case of SDS. But in general the chase season around here seems to begin in early-to-mid-March, and we're only four weeks from that. Hope springs eternal!! (Pun intended....)

[BTW: I know my website is juvenile and could be a lot fancier. Get over it.]
