All Activity

Even in N burbs of DC, as low as 24 Tue AM. This is after the low 90s last week. "Wx whiplash!"

25F for the morning low Sleet in Philly, cold weekend coming cold wave after cold wave lined up GFS has highs in the 40's to only near 50 for much of the first week of May, normal high for May 1st is what near 70F What is going on

"Sizzle?" LOL. I haven't heard that term used since WSI! And it went one step further, "ALL SIZZLE AND NO STEAK!" The storms the other day surprised me b/c it looked too too cool w/ the high wedged pre-frontal for any TS, but pulled a fast one at the last minute! And from radar, it looks like Weymouth got two decent cells.

Never put in flowers until May 1. I can usually run outdoor shower April 1-Nov 1. Needs to get into deep 20s for that to freeze…but I did sweat it for two nights a few weeks ago

5 years ago today. Tuese were some amazing winter/spring clash scenes. 4.4" of snow fell here, 3.6" DTW but near 6" on the MI/OH border.

Isn't this what the Twister movie was trying to do w/the balls, film inside a tornado or something? This guy done it w/his drone...cool footage.

lol, the Nats man. They have MLB's best offense (in terms of runs scored), and the 2nd worst pitching staff (in terms of runs against). They are fun though - feels like the score almost every inning (and allow runs in every inning) lol

Ensembles don't seem to indicate any significant warm-ups through early May. Glad I didn't install. This is the 2nd night in a row the heat kicked on with thermostats at 62.

This is why I wouldn’t want to live at elevations like this. It’s almost May, it’s beyond time for 70s and warmth.

The High Road snow plot was holding at 34” today.

What a win play the song boys

Low of 31.6º this morning. Been enjoying the cool temps. Looks like finally some legitimate rain this weekend- we need some or spring flower season is going to suck.

Yikes I just realized the Japanese Maple the previous owners planted just got severely freeze damaged. All the leaves are curled up and black now. It was too big to cover but hopefully it can come back…

Fires in myrtle beach too. Dry as f everywhere. Only gonna get worse.

Mammoth and Palisades are getting demolished by snow; Mammoth has about 10 inches of new freshies with another 14 expected tonight. https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam

With just an inch or two of snow falling here in the valley on Sunday, I hadn’t planned to ski yesterday – even a couple of inches at the mountain wasn’t really going to cut it in terms of covering up the old snow and bare patches on the slopes. But yesterday morning I woke up to 1-2”/hr. snow pounding down, and that called for a change of plans. With 4 inches of accumulation here at our site in the valley, the mountains had almost certainly done quite well, so I was quickly scrambling to get my gear together for an impromptu ski tour. As one would expect with marginal spring temperatures, snow accumulations were quite elevation dependent. Snow was just patchy down at the base of the Bolton Valley Access Road at ~340’ by midmorning when I was heading up to the mountain, but up in the Bolton Valley Village at ~2,000’ there were accumulations of 6-9”. Temperatures were in the mid-20s F, and the new snow was dry, medium weight powder with plenty of liquid equivalent. We picked up ¾” of liquid in the valley, so there was probably 1” of liquid in the snow up high, and it skied very well. It was enough to easily cover low and moderate-angle terrain for bottomless powder turns, but it was almost too much for snow skiing the lower angle slopes. Indeed it was dry enough to let you cruise on low-angle terrain, but moderate angle terrain was the better option. Accumulations increased a bit more with elevation, up to roughly 7-10” in the 2,500’-2,700’ range, but they didn’t seem to get much deeper than that. All in all though, with base snow and most water bars still covered, it was more than enough for a solid April powder skiing session.

Jackson Holliday was pulled in his rehab game tonight with obvious pain in his hand.

Record-breaking start to the severe weather season. Hope we can keep it going through August.

Looks like an active pattern coming, but I have a feeling we're gonna pay the price of limited sunshine again. This is one of the reasons I'm craving temps in the 80s and afternoon storms a few days a week.

Ya, I wasn’t talking about today…was just saying in general for this time of year. But it was cool today, but as you said a nice day.

Maybe we can hike to the top of Mt Marcy and jump really really high to catch some catpaws.

That’s because they’re all dead from gypsies.

I hope so too. We were lucky to go last year too and it was so much fun. Either way, you are going to love it! Looks like the rain might move out by game time!
