That reminds me, my grandfather started his in a grow room as well in the basement of their home. It was a room off to the side of the boiler room, so it stayed warm in there. Florescent lights hanging low over the flats. My grandparents were living in E Duluth (Lester Park) at that time (70's). They had a large lawn, so plenty of room to have a big garden. Mid 30's-40's across NE MN this morning. Near critical fire wx today with very low humidity inland. Makes for a larger spread in the diurnal range.

There’s not a great solution but I think the best one and one that makes the most sense is to give it all to BOX. But they would need to commit to actually spending time forecasting and caring about it . Theres enough smart people in that office that can work to understand the different climates . Going from hills to valleys to coasts . SW CT is basically NYC climate . They could do it the best out of the 3. Someone in ALB forecasting LES for the Dacks isn’t gonna have time to worry about rain and 42 in Groton.

Something has to be done. Having CT divided up amongst 3 forecast offices has been a long standing complaint amongst emergency managers, media, etc. I honestly don't know what the right answer is. If I was king for a day every state would have their own NWS forecast office.

Gorgeous out in the quiet Corner[. Right around 70F. .

Oh really? I’m not sure how well that would work either . So NYC centric . No way they’d understand the unique micro climates around here . BOX nowadays just doesn’t seem to care about CT. It seemed like a no brainer to have the wind advisories for their whole forecast region with 46-50mph modeled . With leaves on trees that’s enough for the tree damage the state had

hi all hope you're enjoying your Sunday. Looks beautiful out! Enjoy

Gonna be hard to get some boomer hailers this PM with this May Gray Cirrus. Poop.

Yeah 2008. I have a feeling that in the next 5 or 10 years Upton will be forecasting for all of CT. I think it's being talked about as a possibility.

Except that one time at band camp.. when you called out no icing for Tolland hills

Was it as impressive as the 38.6 at 1:30 PM yesterday?

I literally forgot that CT was in the CWA when I was down there.

They never listen. You can show them charts until you're blue in the face. At least you tried to tell 'em

Started most of my veggie plants back in early April inside where I have a small grow room. There's something very satisfying about watching a plant sprout and grow when there's still 4' of snow otg. Annual flowers and a few other things I purchase from a greenhouse in Negaunee where I work each summer. Of course, I planted most everything yesterday when the forecasted low for last night was 44, but it was one of those sneaky cold nights I worry about, with an actual low of 37 here. Thankfully I covered everything with a frost cloth to be safe. Two more night of lows in the mid 40's then the nights begin to slowly warm. Sun and mid 70's today. Have only had .75 inches of rain for the month. Pollen is thick on everything. Leaf out is about 60-70% on most trees w/ the exception of the oaks which always lag behind.

Sampling of lowest mins across NJ this morning. Low of 43 here. So great to still be sleeping with the windows open. Back to a drier pattern again. Not much rain in sight next 7 to maybe 10 days. Thankfully no big heat either.

I’ve noticed that there’s a significant number especially in the northern U.S. here and at other wx bbs who like cold only for snow chances and otherwise prefer mild in winter. They hate cold and dry, complain about it being “useless cold”, and prefer mild if it’s not going to snow. The good news with very strong El Niño winters is that there’s typically not as much cold, dry wx as in other winters. There will generally be a few significant to possibly major snowstorms but otherwise lots of mild for those folks to enjoy. I always prefer cold but I’m deep in the SE US and thus cold here isn’t typically that cold up north. If I were living up north, I’d probably have a different take on my desire for cold and would enjoy mild periods much more as mild up there is not nearly as warm as down here and too much and too severe cold would get tiring fast.

Thanks for the clarification. Interesting that the low occurred so early in the night. .

But of course during that 1978 to 2025 period Phoenixville 1E is warming at almost a 50% faster rate than the rest of Chester County. The Phoenixville area is about as least representative of the entire county with about 60% of Chesco lying at over 400ft above sea level

Going to be interesting to see if Upton's forecast of Mostly Sunny verifies as we head into the afternoon hours

Not everybody got in on the same level of action but that’s tropical. Not taking anything away from the eastern New England area that got rocked. Approaching 35 years without a strike now…

I thought it wasn't supposed to be windy today. Forecast is for calm to 5mph, but it's still quite breezy here this morning.

Groundwater is a different animal to all of those things. You need to ask yourself what you are measuring because your measuring different things. There's things like river gauge level for things you want to measure. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Down to 36.4° at WXW1. That’s damn impressive for late May here.

Gotta love statistics…. Mark Twain having a laugh. Gorgeous out; enjoy the day all!

97-98 the coast got shut out but inland didn't do that bad..we had a dusting of snow a few days after Christmas..it was warm like all Super Nino's are. 82-83 had a snow event in middle of December..65 degrees Chistmas day and a blizzard in February..15-6 had a blowtorch December..70 degrees Christmas day and a historic blizzard 4 weeks later..So yes it will be warm but there will be winter weather.
