It's already March, and yet it's still snowing. Citizens from all over the country take to social media to spread their hate- or love- of the winter weather. Paulo Fugen

More than 40% of the nation was under a winter storm watch, warning or advisory Tuesday as an unrelenting winter plowed into March, meteorologists said.
This time, some areas of the Midwest that have been spared the worst of winter are in on the action. But Boston won't be neglected — and could see its seasonal snow record fall.
"The calendar says March, but I think Mother Nature thinks it is still February," said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Tom Kines. "Or even January."
Weather Channel meteorologist Linda Lam said blizzard warnings have been posted in parts of Colorado, Minnesota and South Dakota.
"A slew of winter weather advisories have been hoisted across a vast swath of the Midwest and Northeast for light to moderate snow and ice accumulations." she said, estimating that more than 136 million people could be in its path.
Snow accumulations are expected as far south as Nashville, Little Rock and North Texas, Kines said.
A band of snow across much of Minnesota was almost welcome, National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Taggart told the Associated Press. He said snowfall this season has been about half of normal in much of Minnesota.
"If somebody likes winter weather and they want to go out, they'll be happy," Taggart said of the expected snow.
The picture is a little different in Denver, where KUSA-TV reported that up to 5 inches of snow was forecast for the metro area. Denver set a record for February snow last month with more than 22 inches, KUSA said. The snowiest March on record: 2003, when 35.2 inches fell.
Enough ice to cause slippery travel for a time Tuesday is expected in cities such as St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said.
Boston is within 4 inches of its seasonal snowfall record after being pounded with 104 inches so far. An a one-two punch of storms is headed for the city Tuesday night and then Wednesday night into Thursday, Kines said.
"The record is in jeopardy," he said.
