And another thing, and yes, I'm a bit feisty this morning, but what can make this forum unreadable at times isn't the complaining about heat or cold, but the sports (basketball) posts that litter this place up from time to time. Those belong in the banter thread.

They need to start updating the QBO.....that is going to make forecasting the polar domain more challenging in terms of finding the best analogs if they don't resume at some point this summer. There is more to it than simply east vs west. Good point. I was bringing that up last winter and early on in the spring, but it clearly doesn't matter, at this point. Definitely going strong.

Take out those anonymous near 90 degree days (which even I don't necessarily want in April) and it wouldn't have been.

32.2 here last night

Sorry you feel that way, but it's about consistency. I don't need a torch, but I, like most people, don't really want frost and freeze warnings this time of year, nor windy -10+ to -15 daytime departures. Give me 45/65 and I'm quite fine with that.

51 and windy. Don’t see us hitting 60 today

40.5 Sunday morning low imby/Columbia.

Not here. There has been a strip down the 91 corridor of sun. You can see it on the latest goes. Looks like the Hudson river valley is clear as well. Perhaps some kind of effect?

Looks like it’s been BKN/OVC on the south coast for a bit now

Ha. That’s pretty funny. Just got a pic of this squirrel. Looks like it has a story to tell. It was moving pretty well. Are those mulberries albas/hybrids or pure rubras?

It's been sunny here almost all morning and beautiful out here on the shoreline in CT. Great sunny day for those on the south coast...

Low of 40. Gardening and golfing today. Had a little shindig at our house last night with an obscene number of kids. Currently surveying the damage ha.

so, tomorrow we'll be above normal... Not thinking the low dunnite's too cold? The 'core" of the coldest air is passing thru right now. Wind looks to stay up ...defaulting to dry WAA. Has a "steady or slowly rising" vibe there I guess. Then tomorrow, good WSW mixing under surged 850 to 900 mb layer (-3 to +5) probably sends non-south coast tainted HFD-BED areas close to the adiabat. Looks like mostly sunny. 74-ish. Same is true for Tuesday, only add 7 or 8 ... just spit ballin' here based on a cursory eval of charts. But case in point to what I was just saying to John. We're heading into a couple of days that will try and hide the abuse over the last week's piece of overall shitness

Today is epitome of grade A spring shit.

Another below normal temperature day on tap today before we see a brief warm up with some valley locations touching 80 degrees by Tuesday before we turn much chillier again by the end of the week. Highs by Thursday through Saturday may struggle to escape the upper 50's. Rain chances increase with a cold front by Tuesday night.

Actually in Lanco it was the 6th warmest April in like 115 years. Unbelievable.

Of all subjective takes on our predicament, this is probably the most fairly aligned with the objective truth - heh...the way I see it. Scott and I have had some back and forth about this, but the these months, really since last October - won't get too deeply into that but we've been stuck in some sort of resonate Rossby wave that's reenforcing the coldest possibility relative to ongoing noise, one that frankly still has not changed - have had small percentage day anomalies extremely warm enough to make months more normal in the pure numbers than the actual sensible weather. Basically... imagine the example of 7 days -3, then three days of +8 ... the average is positive for the 10 days. We used to have a saying back in the weather lab days that statistics are the biggest "out-liars" We're being gaslighted by the math for 9 straight fuckum months.

Lone turkeys are tempting for foxes but still a tough catch. A couple weeks ago we watched a flock of 7 turkeys chase a fox for 200+ yards. He turned and charged them once but they didn't even flinch and went after him even more. Then there was this hilarity in 2023 under one of the mulberry trees - there were mulberries covering the ground and starting to ferment, none of these turkeys or the fox could walk straight let alone chase each other so they just shared the space eating those berries

Taking a break from this thread. You all enjoy your complaining. April was a top 10 warmest ever but reading this thread we're in a relentless freezer. Math ain't mathin folks

12z NAM says let's do this. Even the Euro is now showing a few inches for the Front Range.

39 for the low imby. Really nice veterans day weekend weather. In May.

Welp I guess if our climate began in 1980 there could be a story there....

42 for the low which is good since I have sensitive stuff out. Looking forward to Monday/Tuesday nice weather! I hope I don't get another whiff on the rain midweek

With the pattern for May, wouldn't surprise me that you get frosty even late in the month.
