Beautiful sunshine today. It’s amazing how much nicer 40 degrees feels when it’s not cloudy or too windy.

I mean stein relative to other areas...not that it's actually been bone-dry...but even the screamer was much less than areas to the south...I had well under an inch, like .74", I think.

Here's Yellowknife's coldest March: https://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/monthly_data_e.html?hlyRange=1953-01-01|2013-01-17&dlyRange=1942-07-01|2013-01-16&mlyRange=1942-01-01|2007-11-01&climate_id=2204100&Prov=NT&urlExtension=_e.html&searchType=stnName&optLimit=yearRange&StartYear=1840&EndYear=2026&selRowPerPage=25&Line=0&searchMethod=contains&Month=3&Day=23&txtStationName=yellowknife&timeframe=3&Year=1964 That translates into a monthly mean temperature of -17.6°F.

Didn’t you get a lot of rain from the screamer?

I don't have my records in front of me, but that deluge on early Monday AM totally missed me...it was just a few snow showers.

Stein? How much ?

it's so over

jelly

Sure seems like it is going to be a long summer out there.

Stein up here.

Saw this being circulated around but can't find the actual dataset - anyone know how the author came up with these #'s?

Although you can plant the cold tolerant vegetables like broccoli and lettuce now. I'm planning on starting my vegetable garden tomorrow.

All it’s been doing is dumping rain this month

No but the nearby sites were all 50-58”…Weare, Francestown, Greenville, and Bradford.

Yes I'm out shoveling stone to put in my lane came in now for lunch and I see the temperature is only 39. I thought it was warmer then that. That March sun is doing wonders. Today despite the temperature and virtually no wind is turning into a beautiful day. To me yesterday sucked with that cold and wind. Better days with heat and humidity are coming...sometime.

Wow, I’m less than half of that.

You have their data from March 2001?

29 this morning. Hard freeze expected again Friday night and Saturday high around 42. Last freeze here is usually end of March/early April. So figure a few more weeks before growing season begins

You are 100% correct.

Normal temps this time of year are fantastic with the late March into April sun. I’ll gladly take that right now. I’m ready for spring (NOT SUMMER). I have my limits

Today's mid 30's feels SO much better than yesterday's mid 30's. Sunshine changes everything.

The death ridge in early April won't help either.

Yes, correct. Neutral/-QBO would be higher than nina/-qbo and Neutral/+QBO would be lower than nino/+qbo.

Reposting some of the charts I posted previously. Your line doesn't look anything like the raw data from individual stations. There is no significant difference in warming between individual Chester County stations and the Philadelphia Airport. Of course cooling station moves should be excluded. That's why the West Chester plot ends in 1969. Per the table below, there are big changes in the Chester County station population that you aren't accounting for. In comparison, the Philadelphia airport heat island is mature and isn't changing much from decade to decade. If heat island is important, why ignore the movement of Chester County stations out of towns after World War II?

I remember those vividly...had like 6" and then 8" to finish the best winter of my life in style.
