When it’s like 40% more yeah.

Junk & stuff blowing around again, 46F.

I just read Ray's post...so slightly more than 1/ 4 of an inch is "slanty" to you???.lol....

Water all over. Ponds as high as ever. Sump pumps running. Rivers in flood or close to it. And moderate drought according to the stein maps. Can DOGE do something with those?

Decent snsh rolling through

Looks like a decent drink SOP on Monday, question is where does heaviest set up? W CT or E CT and RI. Glad the pack has melted and ground getting blown dry by the wind today and tomorrow

So do your chances of snow. Go and enjoy summer there.

AO and NAO trending downward

AO and NAO trending downward

Forecast language included "1 to 3 feet, life-threatening conditions". We got 10.3" of 6:1 heavily rimed flakes with temp mostly <20° and strong wind. Almost nobody in New England had a lower total. Great storm, great season, tall pack (Farmington co-op depth went from a trace in late January to 56" in March) but at our Gardiner home the Superstorm was less than spectacular.

53 with a 14 dew. dry

Winds gusting past 40. Surprised no advisory

3.4"/0.25" here, patches of blue and trees are emptying. The high ratios continue. Long term here it's very close to 10:1 while seasons have ranged from 12.4 down to 7.1, but this snow season is currently at 14.2. Without the Jan 25-27 fluff (19.6" with ratio 25:1) it would be about 12:1, still AN. We'll reach the Ides with only 0.71" precip (March avg 3.71") as BN continues to rule. Maybe Mon-Tues 1-2", would bring the month closer to the average. (Would likely push the Sandy River to bank full, maybe higher if ice jams form.)

It's that and also that the Miler B's develop too late for them and there's been a big increase in SWFEs that do not redevelop in time-so there's a sleet/ice mess for most of central PA instead of snow. Clippers there are usually OK but those have largely gone extinct too. Stray lake effect streamers usually add a few inches per winter but it's normally just a series of coatings to an inch. The real lake effect dries up coming over the Allegheny Ridge. It's just been a combination of factors that have totally screwed them over and it's way past the point where we can say it's temporary. This year Williamsport just has 19" when they used to average 40" or so in a winter. State College I think has about 25". When I went to PSU they were just done with the big 02-03 and 03-04 winters when they had plenty of those storm types that were good there-a couple coast huggers and storms like 12/5/03 that redeveloped in time to keep it snow. When I was there was when the big downturn really started (you can see the big slump starting in the mid 2000s)-it was quite frustrating. Many misses/busts/disappointments. Central PA is the absolute last place I would move if you want exciting winters. Would rather watch paint dry.

First call for here/QC 0.2-1.2" of snow after a quick hitting non-severe squall line.

But NAO/AO continues to trend negative prior to that for week 2: NAO just 3 days ago: Yesterday: Today:

March 58, one time?

Sometimes I get really p***** off when I think about all the stuff I wrote as Flatheadsickness that got deleted. The crazy thing is you all can choose to believe this or not but this phenomenon has commonly been witnessed by cannabis growers including myself during lights out for years . Back in my FHS days, some you may or may not remember I actually wrote about trees and Turgor movements right before thunderstorms which may or not be related to Coronae glow. Back when I wrote about it, I just didn't know the proper scientific term for changes in the leaf . I still witness turgor movements in tree foliage every single foliage season right before thunderstorms ,but no one else ever seemes the notice. Thunderstorms conjure ghostly coronae in treetops, observed outdoors for the first time The weak electric discharges may set off ultraviolet sparkles over large swaths of forest under storms, potentially impacting canopy health 23 February 2026 Coronae glow on the tips of spruce needles, induced by charged metal plates in a laboratory. These weak electric discharges subtly singe the tips of leaves and needles, and new observations indicate they may occur ubiquitously across treetops under thunderstorms.

12z HRRR says my call is looking a bit bullish.

I’m trying to figure out how Ray had the same amount of pack as me before last night.

very windy outside a few times i was pushed back...
