All Activity

I would have done it yesterday but was so irritated by the chilly winds and clouds decided to do Saturday this coming weekend

Egads.... don't turn the wind onshore this summer.

Yes you live on a high hill

Damn Scott hope you are right. Need consistency with 70s 80s none of this 30s bullshit in the mornings either. EPS LR looks like the past month. A couple days here and there like today and tomorrow but crap overall if expecting long periods of summer. Looks much better by June

Always early May . We don’t frost or freeze after May 1

Memorial day as always

I'm already pre-pissed so when it happens I'm not as disappointed.

This is true. It's much cooler in Tamaqua, then adding in that a lot of my work puts me in Hazleton, which is even colder than Tamaqua, and you can see my frustration. Also, a malfunctioning thyroid makes me even more cold intolerant, and there you have it. A perfect recipe for complaining. So I too will apologize. Perhaps I need to tone it down and respect other folks' likes and preferences.

The slight lowering from March does though jibe with the slight downward trend of these WCS dailies:

I can't imagine it is going to be very much longer before we start seeing wide spread water restrictions. This summer is going to be fire danger hell.

Low of only 46 here. A couple of nice days ahead before the rain moves in. Not sure what all the fuss is about in here. April in the northeast almost always means roller coaster temps. Sometimes that leads to a cold month, sometimes warm, but either way it's an up and down adventure. As @Itstrainingtime noted, we just came off a very warm April, so let's have some perspective. I also don't mind the sports banter sprinkled in, especially when it's done in passing in the midst of weather talk. No biggie at all, and if anything adds some excitement to the board during down times. I'm not a fan of having another banter thread and I'm not sure it's really worked out. In any case, get outside and touch some grass. Lord knows the May sun can make even a chilly day feel good. Onward.

My partly cloudy has turned into unexpected rainfall. Not a lot but will take it. @Met1985, definitely looks like another strong front. This will delay my garden by about a week. I sure didn't see that coming after weeks of temps in the low to upper 80s. What a flip!

Spending a couple days in Savannah for my anniversary. Perfect weather yesterday and today! Beautiful!!!

April PDO -1.48 (actually lower than March's -1.43 PDO). This is a huge surprise, especially if we're heading towards a super el nino. 1972 (-1.70), 2009 (-2.23), and 2023 (-3.08) are the only strong/super el ninos that had a lower PDO in April. 1972 and 2023, of course, stayed negative, while 2009 went towards a neutral PDO.

I’m gonna be super pissed if the weather gods pull this one away.

Seems to be good model agreement on a subforum-wide soaking rain

Many lower spots reached the 30's this morning with the Warwick DEOS the chilliest at 30.9 degrees. We warm up nicely today to near normal highs around 70 today. We warm to close to 80 degrees tomorrow before we start another cooling trend. Shower chances also look to increase Wednesday into Thursday before we clear up on Friday. Below normal temperatures look likely from Thursday through the weekend.

Beggers can't be choosers. The ground is so dry that even last weeks rainfall the ground just soaked up super quick but either way we need rain.

The April and FMA relative and non-relative have just been released and they suggest the most recently calculated differential is ~0.6C: 1. FMA: ONI +0.11 RONI -0.48 0.59 diff vs 0.56 diff. JFM 2. April alone: ONI +0.36 RONI -0.24 0.60 diff. vs 0.55 in March

And here we are ... 63+ already. Full sun. Bit of a breeze but we're probably making 74 for a high so that won't be much of a factor. Tomorrow's warmer yet... So it was 53 here yesterday. Dry though. Grading is subjective silliness but will play ball for a miniute and say it was a C day. Today is an A.

Looks to have gotten worse overnight

Also, I need to remember that a lot of you live in areas that are notably cooler than here in Lanco. Your chilly 50 degree day might be a very pleasant 60 down here in the sun. 60 in early May feels a lot different than 60 in February. I can tell you that I was sweating profusely on Saturday.

Go figure, we couldn't get snow in February and are now gonna get slammed in May.
