We did…but that set the stage for the next two winters(92-93, and 93-94) which started the big run. And then we had a shit year, and then 95-96 broke 93-94! Before all that started everybody thought the big winters were a thing of the past. That’s why I laugh at the pessimists now…I lived through the horror, and we came back stronger than ever. And we will AGAIN!

'91-'92 was a strong El Nino and we had Bob and the perfect storm leading into that winter. Unfortunately, snowfall around here was paltry. I wouldn't mind some anomalous storms again this fall but would hope the winter is better than back then.

This week back in ‘23 was very warm here… 70’s to 80’s to mid 90’s in the same week. It happens. Maybe the Pope can ride a wheelie to that shit..yet saying he’s never seen anything like this benign run of the mill garbage? What a dam JOKE!

Yeah, sure

For some reason I think it was ‘92..? But in April of ‘02 we had a banger heatwave where daytime highs were 90’s…cuz I had my Fatboy out all evening having a blast riding all over this area…was like a July/August night in April!!! Awesome!

73.4 here - mowed the yard for the first time, it was actually enjoyable.

Dodge City, Kansas experienced its worst dust storm of record, with dense dust reported from the morning of the 9th until after sunset on the 11th. The sky was almost as dark as night at times during the daylight hours. The thick dust suspended traffic on highways and railroads and also suspended most business in town. 1965 - Severe thunderstorms in the Upper Midwest spawned fifty-one tornadoes killing 256 persons and causing more than 200 million dollars damage. Indiana, Ohio and Michigan were hardest hit in the "Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak". (David Ludlum) 1979: This day was known as "Terrible Tuesday" to the residents of Wichita Falls, Texas as a tornado rated F4 on the Fujita scale ripped through the city. A massive F4 tornado smashed into Wichita Falls killing 43 persons and causing 300 million dollars in damage. Another tornado struck Vernon, Texas killing eleven persons. 1987 - Ten days of flooding in the northeastern U.S. finally came to an end. Damage from flooding due to rain and snow melt ran into the billions of dollars. The collapse of the New York State Thruway Bridge over Schoharie Creek claimed ten lives. (Storm Data) 1988 - Sixteen cities in the western U.S., nine in California, reported new record high temperatures for the date. Afternoon highs of 95 degrees at Sacramento CA and 96 degrees at Bakersfield CA were the warmest of record for so early in the season. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Forty-four cities in the south central and eastern U.S. reported new record low temperatures for the date. Lows of 25 degrees at Conway AR, 29 degrees at Dallas/Fort Worth TX, and 22 degrees at Ozark AR, were April records. Lows of 26 degrees at Hot Springs AR and 31 degrees at Shreveport LA equalled April records. (The National Weather Summary) 1990 - While showers produced heavy rain over much of the northeastern U.S., heavy snow blanketed northern Maine, with 13 inches reported at Telos Lake. Strong southwesterly winds accompanying the rain and snow gusted to 68 mph at the Blue Hill Observatory in Massachusetts. Rainfall totals of 1.04 inch at Pittsburgh PA and 1.52 inch at Buffalo NY on the 10th were records for the date. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

Up to 67 today. Pollen palooza

Okay correction. It has just been brought to my attention that 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 percent of the forcing in Texas will be 400 miles north of Buda. We Always Get Missed. Therefore I will see five minutes of drizzle. One thing I really CRAVE for, is a super El Nino with rain amounts about 99 decillion percent above normal for Fall and Winter 2026-2027. I want so damn much rain in south central Texas that the river that runs thru Austin ends up putting Buda under 150 feet of water. You know, I am so fracking crazy about humanitarian-disaster-level rains, that I actually wish the Cabal was still in power and they set out to destroy Texas with Biblical rains. They had the power. Now, that will never happen. I'd have adored that! Being in the news about a Harvey-like tropical storm that somehow had so much moisture and swirled over Buda for 9 months with meters of rainwaters. I'd have been out on a monumental historic jebwalk checking out water levels! I have always craved for a severe flood. I have been around for 62 years and I have NEVER been in a real flood. I am NOT thankful to g-d. The only thing that I will ever express gratitude for, is a devastating flood with many meters of water that I am in. I want a 9 billion, 999 decillion milennial El Nino in Texas this autumn. We need 70 percent of the people out of here anyway. I want severe floods like in The Bible. Too damn BAD I missed that. FUCK SNOW. I want Waterworld-like rain amounts.

He may have reason looking long term. I'm thinking a 4569 character multi paragraph mind explosion post....always welcomed of course. 53F

Fire warnings are going to go up soon, due to the dry conditions, if we don't get some rain soon.

Severe season didn’t even wave as she went by .

Looks like a pretty special week coming up in NYC.. High temperatures from Tuesday into Thursday will average 15 to 25 degrees above normal. NBM box and whisker plots are generally around the 25th percentile for the max temperature forecast. The median (50th percentile), is right skewed, toward the warmer side of the guidance. The experimental NBM 5.0 is also a couple of degrees warmer than the operational. The warmer scenario seems plausible, and even has metro NE NJ Wednesday and Thursday around 90. This would be close to 30 degrees above normal and record breaking for a few of the climate sites (see climate section below). The records going into this timeframe are quite high, getting into the heat wave of 2002. Several climate sites from April 16-18, 2002, reached 90 or higher for 3 consecutive days. Don`t see thathappening at this time. Additionally, there is the potential for an even longer period of days with record high minimum temperatures. CLIMATE... Record High Temperatures that could be reached: April 15: KEWR: 88/1960 KBDR: 81/1960 KNYC: 87/1941 KLGA: 86/1941 KJFK: 80/2006 KISP: 78/2024

This is likely the biggest western US trough ever experienced since records began! The same incredible Pacific trough that is bringing catastrophic snows to California ski resorts for the next three days, is the very same brobdingnagian trough that is bringing badly needed rains to the severely desertified regions of south central Texas tonight through Wednesday! There is a brobdingnagian blob of rain in W TX heading eastbound to Austin and will hammer most of central and eastern Texas.

There was an April in the early 90s, I think 91 where we had 90s at the beginning of April. I had just bought a bass boat and was thrilled to be able to take it out so early in the year.

For the NNE thread… We’ve had steady snow cover at 1500ft since mid-November. Snow depth reached 45” max a couple times, and spent over 3 months above 24”. This morning it was down to 3” and I expect it will be gone by Monday. Still 53” at 3,000ft and 61” at 3,700ft.

country roads, take me home

If you're in the mood the nerdout, I’ve been drifting into the "ghost math" of how we actually capture the sky. It turns out our rain gauges are essentially professional liars, especially when the wind is busy whisking our snow away or the radar beams are overshooting the action entirely. I’ve pulled together a little guide on the invisible physics behind it all, from the way a breeze "deflects" a snowflake right past the collector to why our local airport totals might be missing a good 15% of the real story. It’s dive into fluid dynamics and PA weather quirks, perfect for anyone who wants to see the logic that turns raw data into the actual ground truth. https://jns182wx.github.io/Gauge_Bias_Correction/ I have a couple of calculators for anyone to try figure out their own biases Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Remember when we used to bitch about a cold wet April. I’d take one of them bad boys about now. Lol

Im anti hype. El nino coming nearly for sure. But to predict super so far out....totally skeptical.

It’s not a blocking signal. Weak signal at all actually but enjoy the delusion.

@nw baltimore wx How's the DFH event going?

Yep next week

Dead on 70.0 for the high at my house.

There is a truly Brobdingnagian blob of oceanic moisture inbound to the Cordillera. A goodly yuge chunk of the Pacific is inbound to dump world-ending amounts of heavy snow tonight! It's gonnabe a world of hurt out there as 2-4 inch per hour snow rates overtake all the Sierran ski resorts tonight. Stay tuned, I will keep y'all updated! Palisades Tahoe is already getting demolished! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams Alpine Tahoe is getting hammered, too! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=alpine
