WEEKS AHEAD OF LAST SPRING!!

that is infuriating. i have more oak leaves on my lawn today than i had last fall. the trees are naked, but the stupid wind keeps blowing them out of the woods

Good stuff! Park City Mall usually has massive piles but can't say I've thought to look any of the times I've been by there.

Looked at the final rankings of 2025-26 for Detroit: SNOWFALL- 39.5” 74 snowier, 71 less snowy SNOWCOVER (1”+)- 63 days 27 had more, 1 had same, 86 had less TEMP- 25.3F 43 colder, 2 same, 107 warmer ****** I notice theres been so much concentration on the west and the small cold pool, that I didnt really see any rankings for nyc. I have to say, they are impressive considering some recent thoughts theyd never get winter again. SNOWFALL- 43.4” 29 snowier, 128 less snowy SNOWCOVER (1”+)- 43 days 16 had more, 97 had less TEMP- 31.9F 42 colder, 2 same, 113 warmer (since note- this is the 1st time NYC had more snowfall than Detroit since 2015 and just the 2nd time in 20 years. While its not fair to rank two different climates, the snowcover at Detroit would be 4th highest on record for NYC and the temp coldest on record).

Illinois and warm fronts this year

50s with non stop 40 70 rainy nor’easters all winter. That was 97/98. Perfect storm track with tons of miller A’…… But ZERO cold. When you have an all time ice storm up on the Canadian border you know it’s bad. .

2025-26 winter rankings at Detroit: SNOWFALL- 39.5” 74 snowier, 71 less snowy (since 1881) SNOWCOVER (1”+)- 63 days 27 had more, 1 had same, 86 had less (since 1913) TEMP- 25.3F 43 colder, 2 same, 107 warmer (since 1874)

Has the Pope's early summer call held up? Seems a bit chilly

Had 0.1" of slushy wet snow that melted quickly Monday. Then a low at DTW of 22F yesterday and 26F today. Likely winters last hurrah til November (or maybe October ;)).

Oof

26 here. I already added 10 gallons of diesel to avoid the higher cost of a 100 or 150 gallon minimum for heating oil. I might actually go do that again today. I'm only using 5-6 gallons a week now.

Dried mud

Wow. Guess just pretty lucky here. But lots of areas probably dry up quite a bit over the next few days.

Are your undies muddy?

Depends where you live. Lots of spots are muddy.

Remember when everyone was worried about mud lol. Might be the most overrated worry come spring time. Its literally muddy for like 3 days and that's it. Unless you live in a field of dirt

is it our year?

Frost Advisory hoisted for tonight/tomorrow morning.

correct!! on the way up to the schilthorn...

Or with the super Nino, maybe 2027.

29 in the am, probably last 20's until November.

I estimated 17" from that blizzard at our back settlement site in Fort Kent. Gusts approaching 60 made any measurements a guess. Despite highs of 17 and 24 on April 7 and 8, the depth at the stake fell from 27" to 25", with mounds 5-6 feet deep a few yards away on both sides. We had a black Chevette then, and though it was a small car, we still were impressed that only a palm-size spot was visible after the storm.

tis the season

the goods se drought becoming a thing

We usually get clouds when it’s cold, but this cold shot has brought some quality sun. Maybe the generally useless northern stream waves are getting more spaced out than the prior 6 months.
