pack absolutely obliterated locally. Woods have snow but open areas are 50/50 at best

Well looks like ski season ends before spring break. .

As soon as I got out of Weymouth most areas were snow covered. Funny what woods can do. Highly variable in my hood. Some areas buried, some areas are grass.

Bookend winter, like 1981-82. Early Dec big S+ (and big bust surprise) and then April blizzard!

Yes the first one, I recall that morning, scud off the ocean up the wazoo. Definitely did not look like a pre-snowstorm environment! Too mild. But the convective nature of the storm did its magic across SNE. Big surprise. The second one R/S mix in Woburn w/ .3" of slush when I left for WSI at 1130pm. Got to Rt 3 in Burlington, S+ and quite a ride. Trees and branches all leaning over on the highway (this was when it was still 2 lanes). Pulled into work, and the power when out. Worked a midshift on backup power. Not too bad. Just whiny ppl call saying Intellicast was not available. Those servers were not on the UPS. I got one caller say "people are gonna DIE b/c Intellicast is not available!!!" Yeah, yeah, whatever, I felt like quoting Butt-head and saying, "Hey, it's FREE asswipe!!!" Not a paying client/customer. Scott was probably mad it was down b/c that was one of the only sites that had radar at the time (NWS radar data was not free on the web until 1999).

This is pretty cool

Naso good with a massive early season torch incoming

Exceptional warmth covered the region. The thermometer rose into the upper 60s and lower 70s across the region. Bridgeport (64°), Islip (68°) and JFK Airport (67°) tied daily records. Tomorrow and Wednesday will be springlike days in much of the region. Temperatures will generally top out in the 60s. Some 70s are possible in the warmer spots, especially in interior New Jersey. Long Island and coastal sections could be noticeably cooler than interior sections on a number of days on account of a chilly onshore flow. Afterward, it will turn cooler but not especially cold. However, with the AO likely to remain generally positive, the cool period likely won't be as prolonged as had been the case during this past winter's cold regimes. There may be a short window of opportunity for some snow, but snow is not assured. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was +0.9°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.1°C for the week centered around March 4. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged +0.80°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.23°C. Neutral ENSO conditions have now developed. Neutral ENSO conditions will continue through at least mid-spring. The SOI was +24.89 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was +3.062 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied 56% probability that New York City will have a warmer than normal March (1991-2020 normal). March will likely finish with a mean temperature near 43.6° (0.8° above normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 1.1° above the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

this is fake spring atm temps to go back down but its nice to have some warm weather. bee's were out in force today but no flowers just yet blooming for them to gather any honey.

The only bare spot on my property is under the pine tree.

We’re down to about 10-11” here but the south facing sloped areas are now largely exposed. This pack had some meat in it. This has been a real furnace the last few days that it has taken to get to this point.

And again, over the same period Flagstaff has experienced 2 record warm months to Phoenix's 7. Yes, the Southwest has been warming faster than most places recently. And yes also, Phoenix is an extreme outlier in this trend. Yet it's always the one place pointed out on here with all the records.

EWR: 73 / 44 (+19) NYC: 73 / 51 (+21)

Thread worthy!!!

High of 73. Had a great ramble in the woods this afternoon. Not that green here yet. Almost weird to see the sun! Many turtles were out enjoying it. Frog chorus also going strong.

It was in the 60's, but my dew was in the lower 30s.

Those are pretty damn good numbers. I've been fortunate I only lose a day or two at a time to snow cover, at most. Must have a good pitch/angle combo. Or I just don't snow. All last year I ran about 20-40 KWh/day avg. Great production, Finished with 16.6 MWh produced over 11.8 consumed (+4.8 MW/h) Then, In December, we started running grow lights 16 hours a day for our new business and we're popping 60-80 KWh a day (during peak heating season. Already coming down to 40-60). Current delta is -2.0 MWh. Hoping to stop the bleeding there this month and build up a surplus. Lights should be off starting in late May, we'll before cooling season.

13-15" on the level... The drift that was 3' after the blizzard is still 19".

I thought more would have been gone today.. we winter still

Real thoughts: Right now models are progging mostly <1000 MUCAPE and pretty wide temp/dew spreads for most of the sub except the extreme southern areas, which basically precludes any real fun severe wx. However, CAPE could be a little undermodeled since we have such a seasonally extreme EML being transported out of the SW. And we have a decently favorable 700mb setup to deliver the EML to our region, although it's not perfect. Note ridging to the south, which is crucial for getting the goods up to the northeast. Would like to have that trough more towards the west coast than Texas, and the Pacific High more towards Alaska. Average 700mb setup to get an EML to the northeast (keep in mind this includes all the way up to New England, so the average is a little north of what we need): La Plata 700mb setup: Wednesday 21z 700mb per the 18z GFS:

lol - tied now.

I know it’s time to put away the dreams of snow and cold and embrace the season of Spring .

One nice warm day and the fatties are already in an uproar.
