In August of 2024 we had one that lasted 3 months…from mid August to mid November. Guess you forgot about that one. Didn’t rain for 3 months. And you couldn’t buy any dews or humidity for 3 solid months. Dry as dry could be. Everyday sunny, dry and gorgeous, with temps in the mid 70’s from mid August, through mid September…pretty impressive.

Yes. Although I WILL say...and this is NOT taking ANYTHING away from them...but NWS MQT is really not representative of Marquette. Its an absolute microclimate snowmagnet. There are multiple similar lake superior microclimates up there (for instance, look at our own @weatherbo) but many of them are in extremely rural to non-populated areas where we may never know how much snow possibly falls at THE best spot. I used to watch the NMU snowcam in Marquette and you could tell there was nowhere near the amt of snow on the ground as MQT officially had. But when I went up there and scoped the area out its an absolute fact. The snow rapidly increases, and its very noticeably, right near the NWS office. The 7am snowdepth today at MQT is 19". The city of Marquette webcams show completely bare ground. For anyone of us, take the absolute snowiest location in your entire metro-area and its outskirts and pretend that would be the official climate station. It would be like Detroit snow records being taken in Lake Orion (which unofficially averages probably 60", not 40-45" like Detroit). Thats how it is in Marquette.

...Kinda surprised the categories didn't increase a little more in D2-D4 and next level. DSCI slight increase.

Yeah ..I get it. Generally pissy mood this morning. The scrotum arc typical to morning satellite is already starting to retreat from the W and S, shrinkage - haha. We'll probably bust out at 11 and see a temp jump with wind going SW.

Got to 61 here last night, but already at 78. Glad the a/c is working well!

The Easter Bunny left my candy in the fridge that year. 90F yesterday. Haven't turned on the AC yet, but think I test it out today. Best to find out now if there are any issues instead of waiting until the real heat settles in.

That Guy is always coming out with stuff that is far fetched…whatever something(a forecast) looks like out at 3-5 days, he’s on the opposite side of just about every time.

wouldn't be surprised to see a tornado today anywhere from central VT through central NH

Not sure which I enjoy more, the liberation from mother nature's infernal oven courtesy of the Atlantic's salty life raft, or @Typhoon Tipcolorful rectal analogies....it's close.

Good luck with that

already 72 here

It will improve today. Also, it’s possible the flow gets more northeast and we get a coastal too in this pattern next week. So overall it’s kind of meh to me. I will say foliage around here is definitely ahead of schedule.

You’re crazy, what we had was awesome.

I could see an evolution like 2023-2024, but hopefully we would have a more conducive western Pacific this go around to the extent that we would at least have a fighting chance to score a decent period or two.

49/BR inside the rectum of a poorly analyzed BD. gorgeous ! Zero air movement tho, so the mechanics of this are weak. It could be overcome but the sun has to be strong

It’s a significant -NAO in late April which will yield AN in a chunk of our subforum. The guidance is still catching on to the phase shift. You can see it coming into focus on the ECAIFS. Pull it forward. MJO Phase 1 has highest correlation and significance for AN this time of year.

Not an early foliage year around here in general fwiw. Just got lawn/field greening these last 4 days, along with daffodils and violates. Forsythias are out in full, and the Lilac buds splt with infant bouquets and tiny leaves but that's a long way to go. Otherwise, large stems are still post apocalyptic

Crazy amount of hail with the storm yesterday evening. Quite a bit of damage around with many car windows broken.

Are there apples, peaches, or pears nearing bloom down there yet? Otherwise probably not much damage. Our natives can handle these swings in April. But my pawpaws can get cambium damage sometimes even if they haven’t broken bud if it’s cold enough and the sap is starting to flow.

I was late to party, stage 1 restrictions go into effect on Monday. Can only water once a week and it’s either Tuesday or Wednesday depending on address. Lake fell to 83% capacity over last couple days

The warmth getting gypped is down right unfair. Next week's -NAO is a natural progression down wind and time of warm period in late winter and early spring. We're definitely getting that hangover but the shit unfairness is that we're not getting much of a party of this warm up, first.

1976 also had the April heat wave. Unlike 2002, it never got that hot again in many places, especially in New England. That year turned cold early, as October 1976-January 1977 was record cold. This year is the 50th anniversary of that Easter/Patriot Weekend heat wave.
