25 last night. Looking forward to more sustained warm temps.

v wet imby, blessed

Powder blizzard in April, quite a storm. And the cold behind it? -25 C at 850. BOS high of 25 the day after the storm was colder than the previous record *low* temp for the day, despite full sun.

Really cold 31.5 for low at Kemp Mill and 27.5 Frederick

My 2026 lawn is looking as good as the 2026 Red Sox.

Yeah the strength of the few WWBs we've seen this early is pretty noteworthy. If we maintain surges of WWB moving into the summer we are goin to see EL Nino become established rather quickly

This looks like Murren...

Scott would be happy w/ this from 39 years ago. Vicariously he would be impressed! 4/3/1987 A large, slow moving low pressure produced very heavy snows over the Appalachian Region starting on the 3rd and continuing into the 5th. 60 inches fell at Newfound Gap in western North Carolina -- the largest single storm snowfall in the state's history. Up to 36 inches was reported in southeastern Kentucky. The total of 25 inches at Charleston, West Virginia easily surpassed its previous record for the entire month of April of 5.9 inches. The 20.6 inch total at Akron, Ohio established an all-time record for that location. Interstate 40 was closed by snow for the first time since it was opened 20 years ago. This storm also dumped heavy snow in central and northeastern Alabama. Never before had a snowfall blanketed Alabama in April. 10 inches fell at Valley Head, 9 inches piled up at Fort Payne, and Birmingham recorded 6 inches. Lightning and thunder accompanied the snow in some areas while snow flurries fell as far south as Mobile. This was the first snow ever reported in the month of April in Mobile since records began in 1872. The storm became known unofficially as the "Dogwood Snowstorm" in the state. This same storm resulted in big flooding in New England. I recall the Merrimack River at ULowell ragin'! 4/4/1987 New England was in the middle of its second heavy rainstorm in 5 days. This was the same storm that produced record snows in the Appalachians. This storm dumped 4 to 7 inches of rain over the area and this, combined with snow melt and rivers already at bankfull, produced record flooding, especially in Maine. 2300 homes were flooded in Maine with 215 totally destroyed. Record water levels were reached at many dams. Damage in the state alone reached 100 million dollars.

I like that phrase turn there ... I'd go so far as to call it Industrial tabloidism. I've mused in the past, the moment in history when channel changing, mouse clicking, and eventually ...thumb swiping, all become connected to economics, that was the moment in history that civility was doomed.

I raked through everything last weekend...picked up all of the sticks, etc.

Just like San Francisco, what a treat

We had the WWB in the WPAC and two strong TCs form in the SPAC w/ one currently developing in the NW PAC. A strong WWB like this is often a precursor for s sig El Nino.

In the midwest it's known as 'Farmer's Gold' .... late nitrogen fixing for agrarian vitality and stuff.

Any "WE GRAUPEL" later in the day w/ the convective stuff?

April snow is ALWAYS welcome, esp. the big PHATTY flakes! LOL.

about a 10/10 nape factor. 43 F with 0 wind and high sun. Very dichotomous sensations going on...

It's bad enough the hard science gets mucked up, but an increasing problem w/ time is the how all/any information is presented. It has become egregious in many respects So many tropes, logical fallacies, slant/spin, and sleazy rhetoric that taints the facts and truth! I get the business of the media and other outlets, it is a business, but they way things has degraded over time has become a disservice to the public by in large. Weather is fascinating enough as it is, and there is more than enough great info out there available to all to have plenty to talk about w/ distracting "bells and whistles." I find so many have a genuine interest in weather, but they have trouble where to start for info and even then have trouble separating fact from fiction, hype from the real deal!

Got down to 20 this morning, forecast is for 28 tonight here.

This is unbelievable:

Yep. Getting ravaged. At least it’s sunny and not that windy.

Evap cooling off the water?

May 18th, 2023 is a day that will live in infamy for gardeners and farmers across the tri state.

hopefully no back door hell.

i'd take 85 that's perfect weather. hopefully it doesn't wobble
