We fly in Austin Saturday for a Sunday wedding. 90s galore there for us.

Did you hear about the aggy that transferred to Oklahoma? That move raised the IQ for both states.

Hartford, aka BDL, is +4 and change for April.

Quit griping.

Nice!

I love it when the hawks return! They are awesome birds. (also on team #deathtorodents)

Solid B on the winter precip front. Depending on scale we’re talking 86/87 out of 100. Temps were simply phenomenal, and that started early on. If the dynamics of the late Jan storm were just a bit different, this winter would have earned a solid A in my book. In terms of winter weather as a whole, at least in northern VA, I say A-.

Saw a hawk swoop in and grab a squirrel in my backyard last week-poor thing never had a chance.

Probably best to get your hands on some chlordane and kill every living fauna on the hill.

WB 18Z NBM for weekend.

So....It's the same as it was ALL winter until it finally snowed (for most) in February. It's always 10 days to 2 weeks out. ALWAYS. we will get rain (decent rain...I don't mean sprinkles)maybe by the middle of May. It's literally a dream to think it's going to happen before then. Keep posting the pretty colored maps, I'll keep saying show me the colors 48 hours out.

Enough of the raw weather. Hopefully we move into daytime minimums above 50, and no more sub freezing nights

I keep seeing that pesky NW flow showing up again in early May. There will be little to no rain east of the Apps with that.

beautiful day despite lake cooling

The squirrels are chewing these little branches with tiny Oak leaves all over . Making a mess . Just the worst animal alive in terms of lawn destruction

One angle I don’t see discussed much is how “feels like” temperatures are changing relative to actual air temperature. We usually focus on raw temperature trends, but that’s not necessarily what people experience. In winter, wind chill matters; in summer, humidity does. So I pulled PIT data back to 1960 and looked at mean “feels like” temperatures (wind chill in winter, heat index in summer) alongside the air temperature trends. A couple of interesting contrasts: January: Mean “feels like” temperature is increasing at ~10–11°F per century, versus about ~6–7°F per century for air temperature. So winters aren’t just warming — they’re becoming less harsh even faster than the thermometer suggests. July: The heat index trend is also higher than the air temperature trend (by roughly ~1°F/century on average). But that actually understates the real effect. Nighttime heat indices are typically equal to the air temperature (they’re not additive until you get into ~80°F+ conditions), so averaging over the full day mutes the signal. That implies that daytime heat indices are likely increasing on the order of ~2–3°F/century in addition to the air temperature trend.

Seems like everyone here has been to Switzerland lol. Super easy - almost everyone speaks some English. Echo the travel pass recommendations. Interlaken and Grindelwald are like my favorite places ever so have fun in that area!

I don't care but let's hope it last. Weekend still looks great so all systems go as far as I'm concerned... 58F/Sun breaking out little by little

Here are the trends since 1960 by month, sorted May to April. Month Trend (°F/decade) Trend (°F/century) May +0.60 +6.0 Jun +0.47 +4.7 Jul +0.56 +5.6 Aug +0.45 +4.5 Sep +0.54 +5.4 Oct +0.42 +4.2 Nov +0.22 +2.2 Dec +0.92 +9.2 Jan +0.68 +6.8 Feb +0.94 +9.4 Mar +0.60 +6.0 Apr +0.74 +7.4

Exactly. Everything needs to be 200-400 Miles further East. That would be a Drought denter.

Trying real hard to not kick heat on. Go pellet stove go

At least those mid-60's are coming for us tomorrow, but yeah, today is in the shitter.

Less than 2 inches of rain in 16 days in late April/Early May is closer to average than being wet.
