Quality torch

Check out what we experienced up to 3 years after the Pinatubo eruption

up to 71 here, sunny, with a nice breeze. really the type of day you could just spend entirely outside and not complain

Made it to 74

My station showing I got to 20C/70F for the first time this year, WUN has 19C. UW got to their first 20C - I was a few weeks off from predicting it! Sun is out, summer feel after a nightmare 2nd half of March.

April can be unpredictable, but with the persistent +NAO / +AO / -PNA, increasing sun angle and the SW getting such an early start to summer due to abnormally dry conditions (positive feedback loop), I wouldn't hold my breath for any wintry surprises this year...

Good luck brother. Fire is no joke, I hope you and your family avoid any fire issues and remain safe & sound.

I wouldnt consider that the impressive feature of this season, Id call it the annoying one lol. It certainly did cut off. After 4 consecutive colder than avg months, March will finish (I estimate) 13th warmest on record as well as 12th least snowy. This winter didnt follow a typical Nina in most aspects, but one thing that did hold true is the fact it was front-mid loaded. February was mostly snow-covered so i dont look at it as harshly as some do wrt below avg snowfall. But Nov-Jan was definitely where the fun was this winter. From salt supplies running short before mid-winter and salt/plow contractors begging for a break, to those same contractors wishing we had a few more runs by mid-March. Above avg snowfall seemed like a lock in January but then Feb-Mar was zzz. I am at 40.1" with DTW 39.4". Longterm avg is around 41" but the current 30-yr avg, high as its ever been due to the snowy 2000s/10s, is 45". While its certainly in the vicinity of an "average" snowfall season, theres no question that cold/snowcover exceeded expectations and snowfall fell short. Knowing how I love snowcover, it should come as no surprise the winter was an easy A but have to knock it to B for the zzzzz mid Feb thru Mar. April is very unpredictable so you never know.

91-92 was the strongest west-based Nino on record. It was also very +NAO/+AO in the cold season ^A lot of cold anomalies there around the volcano. Sometimes you have to zoom out and see what the bigger picture was like. 3 out of 5 times that cold of a H5 N. Hemisphere will produce cooler weather in the US

Cirrus ftl today, but still decent.

Better chance there vs Tolland. Both may be ok, but I would never invoke high confidence this time of year.

the temps overperformed today then what was expected expected high was suppose to be 65 in the city..

day done rite.

I mean, I called this back in early February. I just knew the cold pattern wasn't going to last forever. 3 solid BN temperature months is the most we can get at a time. The last time it happened was in January-March 2015. April 2015 is when things turned warmer, and May 2015 was a near record warm month. It looks like the same thing is happening.

91-92 was 15" here, but a 10" March saved it being a total dud.

1991-92 wasnt bad here for a strong Nino. Average snowfall, a couple good storms. Mild overall, but multiple cold shots.

Radar out again?

71 and partly sunny. Wind is gusty. I see kdix is out once again. I guess they need to replace the tape holding it together.

Still only 50 on the barrier islands or upper 40s. Awful.

It was always obvious this was going to be a very warm spring tbh, but some people kept trying to hang on to winter for as long as possible.

Finally made it above 60! 61 and climbing. Much cooler on the south shore

74 in hackensack, nj and winds howling. Like reallyyyyyyyy sick of these winds. A few windy days in winter but it's right back to last year with wind daily.

and the torch did indeed verify with back to back 80s possible today and tomorrow. Chicago should finish the month with a monthly mean max around 55.3, which would be a tie for 5th warmest on record. A few cool days does not negate the fact that it's been objectively very warm overall.

70 here too. Gorgeous. No sign of the Ambrose Jet yet, JFK only 10mph.
