You can even see it doing it over the top of Kevin's house in CT... It'll probably dry out some but just sayn' a-nnoying

It's the na na na-na na cloud line affect
-
Drives me wild continually seeing clouds moving W-E with blue sky to the west and it never arrives. You can actually see the clouds reforming with the naked eye.
-
Hopefully the predecessor to an endless string of tropical systems this summer
-
It isn't just us. Much of the West is in real trouble with all time record low snowpack.

My concern for you all is the snowpack being at all time record lows in many spots across the West and what that will mean for water supply and fires.

We're getting that standing wave cloud production that Brian was complaining about the other day, down here. It happens more frequently up there that down here, but I've seen this before... It takes a conditionally unstable layer around 800 mb running down with the flow, and as it bumps up and over the terrain there is back-building schmootz. Loop vis sat, it looks like it's emerging out of seam. And summarily, optimistic forecasts bust. great

Happy Opening day to any and all baseball fans. I have tickets for exactly 35 games so far between Baltimore, Philly, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago. Gotta get my fix in now with the lockout looming... -
Such is April. Never expect nice Spring weather until May.

Something else that hasn't happened much at all recently...the rainfall amounts for tonight have actually trended upwards over the past 24-48 hours. -
The only spring 3 weeks ahead in our nearly 28 years here was 2010 (had our mildest Feb, March and April), and it came to a crashing halt when May 11-13 had minima of 23/26/25. Disastah!
-
Ya…I have no idea where he’s seeing that? It all depends on what the weather does coming up in April..if we get some nice sunny and mild weather it’ll bring em out sooner. But if it goes to crap and grey and cold…it’s no green up or leafing until later.

You know I wonder if there's like a "green up line" I think there's something like that with trees. I could swear I've seen it, the leaf out line or something. But not sure that's the same. That pithier verdancy of spring where the fields are delicious with it like a 5-star eatery's salad .. I mean there comes a time every spring whence that is noticeable and it's not the same as a couple of fluke early warm days driving a greener patch here and there. Talkin' full commitment, and it does tend to flash over the landscape across an instra-weekly time scale - days in other words. Not sure when the first (average) time that is - I suspect that season's climate bias plays a role. It's nostalgic. I've seen pre leaf out but budding trees, with perhaps Norway maples in flower - those give off one of the best spring aromas there is outside of Lilacs. That green complexion underneath paints the fields, festooned with yellow dots from dandy lion. This setting comes on prior to the trees. Spring fever afternoon if it's 72. Four days later there's leafs cracking out
-
So far this year we're running just over 60% of average. I'll believe that 'ton' if it arrives. (Would welcome it, too.)
-
Grass is greening up here nicely.
-
I know I've said it before but I'll say it again, really good work on these, much appreciated.

My mother in law adopted two cats when she was 80, they were adult cats so she's still around at 96 and the cats are gone. I was worried we'd get stuck with them if anything happened, dodged a bullet.

From an independant casual reader and practical perspective-Agree 100%. Not enough widespread interest in this forum to be very meaningful. Can read like a bit of an echo chamber with the daily updates of rote tables about specific small locations, as example. I get the desire for independence- but would be better to be part of a meaningful mix than an empty room. Sometimes "1 + 1 = 3". Opinion respectfully submitted.
