50" Mt. Arlington, NJ

stand corrected ...I wouldn't hate that though.

modern era, 60s and rain

yea. Can't wait for our 97-98 redux winter. 40's and rain

Yeah, 90F and mid 20s in only a few days later. Crazy roller coaster month. .

Really really hope it doesn’t rain Wednesday - I have a group of 600 people doing a walking tour.

If you’re in the sun it’s a +10 real feel. T-shirt and jeans perfect in the sun.

Builders scrape vast quantities of topsoil and then sell it for profit. It's a total scam.

oh I agree with you-I just remember other years with days and days of overcast and onshore flow. This one's a bit more tolerable.

Pretty good gradient for early May and storm over NE (that does wrap up good) but agree it seems maybe a little strange this far out. Just used this GFS as an example form 06Z----I think they are looking at this system and the general pattern. I believe the criteria is 40 mph or higher for 1 hrr. or more.

One rough hour, but yeah, mostly sunny this afternoon albeit cool.

Amazing people knocking this weather. Awesome out.

mm... I've made no restraint in my expressing how I feel about spring around in New England. It's subjective, ...admittedly. But I find it loathsome. I don't really spin it as 'not so bad' at times just because it's like today. I think it is bad, with days scattered over time that are not as bad. But because we know what's in store, it's tainted. I don't like a sunny, 74 day in April, when knowing it is going to snow in two days. That's a weird personal thing ( probably...) but that day is like an abusive spouse that loves you to death when their not choking you in a narcissistic rage. No but it's just me. I have a very short tolerance for days like yesterday and the annoyance isn't compensated enough I guess. So over the long run, I'd rather not live here between ~ March 24 and Mother's Day if I had any choice.

Yep. 2nd sunniest April in the last 5 years according to my solar panel data.

Damn fine evening yesterday for my Wild and Timberwolves.

Which by the way... we enter the solar maximum on May 5.... four days. Which means today isn't a whole helluva lot different, just sayin. It's equivalent to August 10 or 11

Been a good spring in this neck of the woods-yeah a crappy day here and there like yesterday but many sunny days and like you said the sun is strong this time of year so feels warm regardless.

Not gonna lie, I am pretty bummed that we are gonna get shutout here. We really need that slow soaking 1-2 inch rain.

Similar... 56 but that pancake CU bloom patched it's way off to the SE and has left us 90+% open sky with some of the most uncontaminated blue the Earth can muster in this pre-holocaust industrial history lol Very light wind, and with the sun now officially insanely hot standing there it's giving that allusion to it being warmer.

Spur. There were supposed to be all hens when a couple dozen was purchased 4-5 years back, but 2 were roosters, so the dominant one (Houdini) ruled the roost, frequently pounding the other rooster, Meriodoc (and other trespassers). Both are now deceased.

Are these spur or beak wounds? I'm glad my city has a no-rooster rule, they intimidate me. My surviving hen from flock 1 is defensive of the 1.5 year old flock 2 hens. I picked one up when she was stubborn about coming in at dusk and when I went to set her down in the run, the old hen delivered a direct peck (more of a bite, actually) to the back of my hand. This is now the chicken thread plz rename and pin @dendrite.

Got a good three week trip this May so somewhat glad for this lull while I am away

pain

Yeah we noticed that on the crown of your head some years ago

Mine got me. Scar remains. Old Ginger is a beast. Sardines? @dendrite
