Just over 0.2” so far

Meanwhile on this side of the planet...

56.6° Gonna need that about 10F higher

We dodged storms like a ninja yesterday too but picked up .13 for a total of .50 since midnight.

Here is a graphic I hope illustrates that the goal of homogenization is not to create a new absolute temperature series for a given location, but to extract change over time information. With Coatesville 1 SW, because it moved to progressively cooler locations (break points finds these shifts), it is necessary to correct for those moves. Convention is to apply the corrections from most recent raw data backwards, but it is just as valid to apply them from oldest forward. Convention results in a repaired series that was always in its final location, and applying corrections from oldest forward results in a station that never left its first location.

That was me who was dismissing the MEI awhile ago and you still don’t see me posting about it. Just not a fan of it. It’s equally weighting all variables, only uses one dataset (JRA-55), and like ensonerd mentioned it’s limited to the first EOF. I felt like it made the 2023-24 event weaker than it was even compared to the RONI, thanks to the rare -PMM that went with it.

Second the pouring ob.

Not a drop

That’s interesting as BGE is out every other year to trim trees along York Road in my area.

Only .08 rain last night. DROUGHT is getting worse. Significant rain ran north, east of BR again. GRAF model says maybe another .10 later today.

Largely missed this one but that's OK I got plenty from the last one. Here comes hot and humid again! At least we have chances of thunderstorms with it.

59 degrees this morning.

Never claimed to be the best met or honestly that good of a forecaster at all. Of course I like snow, not so much cold though hence why I don't live in Canada or Alaska or hell even New England or the upper Midwest. I love that I have been able to experience a near snowless winter and the most snow this area has ever seen in a matter of 12 years, I find it simply fascinating. A +10 December and a -10 February as well. Yep definitely had many reservations about this event. Stay or leave up to you. Make sure to put that little poop emoji to let me know you care!

Looks like a winter snowstorm map where I am rooting for a 50 mile shift north to get into the good stuff. Here's hoping that at least part of the sub gets to stave off this dryness that is expanding in the region.

71 when I left the house with a nice little cell starting to move through. Let’s see if we can bag some winners today.

the lack of snow already getting to folks

A refreshing 56F this am, we take. A couple of high humidity days coming, just enough to use the “feels like” term and then back to slightly BN temps by late next week

riding it

Heading up to nyc on a daytrip to see a broadway play for the first time! Boarded the train around 5am and the rains been with me since.
