All Activity

mine was gone by late yesterday afternoon.. still got piles from shoveling though and I made sure to put it all in one spot as high as I could..

Strong Nino we can work with, a record or near record Nino is a blast furnace of wet Pacific hangover breath all winter.

Worst time of year for the coast. Morch- June

Glad we in and not on the water

Humidity is crazy low today. I'm hoping to put my humidifier away for good starting tomorrow.

Not too often you have a cold winter in Alaska and the eastern lower 48.

ASOUT

Yeah up to 45F and it’s only left in shaded spots.

This is a great write-up on the record cold March 2026 in much of Alaska. Coldest March on record in Fairbanks, with an average temp of -9.0F. That's 19.6F below normal, the most negative departure of any month since February 1990. 2025-26 was also a very cold winter in Fairbanks; the first time in history where the temp didn't get above 32F during the entire Nov-Mar period. https://ak-wx.blogspot.com/2026/04/march-record-cold.html https://alaskaclimate.substack.com/p/record-setting-cold-march-in-alaska

High 46.8°. Most of the snow is gone outside of shaded spots and piles.

It's nice out in the sun when the wind stops blowing. I just looked at next week's temps. WHY?

Another beautiful day

50 here isn't terrible with the bright sun.

WEEKS AHEAD OF LAST SPRING!!

that is infuriating. i have more oak leaves on my lawn today than i had last fall. the trees are naked, but the stupid wind keeps blowing them out of the woods

Good stuff! Park City Mall usually has massive piles but can't say I've thought to look any of the times I've been by there.

Looked at the final rankings of 2025-26 for Detroit: SNOWFALL- 39.5” 74 snowier, 71 less snowy SNOWCOVER (1”+)- 63 days 27 had more, 1 had same, 86 had less TEMP- 25.3F 43 colder, 2 same, 107 warmer ****** I notice theres been so much concentration on the west and the small cold pool, that I didnt really see any rankings for nyc. I have to say, they are impressive considering some recent thoughts theyd never get winter again. SNOWFALL- 43.4” 29 snowier, 128 less snowy SNOWCOVER (1”+)- 43 days 16 had more, 97 had less TEMP- 31.9F 42 colder, 2 same, 113 warmer (since note- this is the 1st time NYC had more snowfall than Detroit since 2015 and just the 2nd time in 20 years. While its not fair to rank two different climates, the snowcover at Detroit would be 4th highest on record for NYC and the temp coldest on record).

Illinois and warm fronts this year

50s with non stop 40 70 rainy nor’easters all winter. That was 97/98. Perfect storm track with tons of miller A’…… But ZERO cold. When you have an all time ice storm up on the Canadian border you know it’s bad. .

2025-26 winter rankings at Detroit: SNOWFALL- 39.5” 74 snowier, 71 less snowy (since 1881) SNOWCOVER (1”+)- 63 days 27 had more, 1 had same, 86 had less (since 1913) TEMP- 25.3F 43 colder, 2 same, 107 warmer (since 1874)

Has the Pope's early summer call held up? Seems a bit chilly

Had 0.1" of slushy wet snow that melted quickly Monday. Then a low at DTW of 22F yesterday and 26F today. Likely winters last hurrah til November (or maybe October ;)).

Oof

26 here. I already added 10 gallons of diesel to avoid the higher cost of a 100 or 150 gallon minimum for heating oil. I might actually go do that again today. I'm only using 5-6 gallons a week now.
