25 for the low.

25°. Coldest until next fall?

27 here. One last night in the 20s.

Low of 27. Currently 28.

30 with a lot of frost.

The PNA and NAO also cooperated this winter.

The models did a really great job at long lead times predicting the major TC’s……

Temperatures are all over the place this morning. I’m 34 degrees, Montourville is 39 degrees, 7 miles away. Buffalo NY 47 degrees. First grass mow of the season in yesterday. Toro push mower had a hard time starting, that was brand new last year. No fuel shutoff on them. Just run it out of gas last year.

Yes, just saw the 30 day -SOI update. You were right about the subsurface warmth last week. The only year anywhere close to this one is 1997 and we have that beat

Looks like we’re going to get slammed with coastal rain and Sierra snow here over the next five days. Good news for fire season and keeping the hillsides green for a bit longer here in Santa Barbara county.

You have to pay to basically be able to upload files through the board

Early indication is a +NAO April, which is a bearish Atlantic season probability, with half of the analysis period still to go (Apr-May total is base period)

Gotta love KFOK, 24 tonight so far and 30 last night. Gotta be the best radiational spot on the north east coast. .

-17 SOI today, finally pushing the 30-day negative

Yesterday’s system was our biggest snowmaker of the month thus far, so I decided to head up to Bolton this morning to get in some turns in the fresh snow. I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to find up at the hill, just a couple of new inches atop a hard base, or something more, but when I stepped out of my car at ~2,000’ into 4-6” of dry powder, the prospects were looking good. I toured in the 2,000’ – 2,700’ range and didn’t really find any increases in snow depths with respect to elevation aside from the occasional 7” measurement in sheltered hollows. The powder was staying light and dry even as of late morning, and I’d say it held about a third of an inch of liquid equivalent. That was enough for bottomless turns on low angle terrain, but anything steeper and I was quickly contacting the subsurface. The powder was dry enough to support really nice turns and speed even on lower angle pitches though, so that made for a fantastic descent. An added plus was that there was bright April sunshine out there, and it warmed you up quickly. Thankfully the air was dry enough to keep the powder in good shape despite the strong sun, at least through the morning hours. In terms of seasonal snowfall, this storm pushed all the resorts along the spine of the Northern Greens past the 300” mark, and Jay Peak past 400”, so some good seasonal benchmarks were reached with this one.

with DCA staying above freezing last night (and likely tonight), it looks like DC's last freeze was March 18th at 27F. First freeze was Nov 11 (31F).

Wildfire season will be in full swing sooner than later!

Hi/Lo 59.0/37.2 Current 39.7/32.7/calm/76% . 3" rain on the 5th

Also, May 9, 2020. Both of those happened after very warm and virtually snowless winters.

Felt like a late-winter day out there with that chilly wind. Had to do a double take after checking the temp too. 36 for a high is pretty insane in early April, all whacked out climo aside. Of course, I’m sure when I go away for a family wedding late next week we’ll be torching into the 70s lol.

This last 36 hours was a nice winter interlude in the growing momentum of spring. Snowing and winter conditions, then as soon as the sun comes out the vibe changes to spring.

Down to 33. Maybe one last night below 30.
