Enjoy before the mosquitoes are out in droves.

That’s the coldest March for Canada, overall, since 2002, which is below:

If they have have the Triple Decadence WWS on draft I would recommend that. Incredible. Try the new 120 too.. curious what you think. I wouldn't do both in one sitting though lol. Nap time!

I’m on 404 now heading down for a Dogfish brew and food event tomorrow. Looking forward to it! By the way, as a passenger, I read your post aloud to my friends and they were impressed by your review!

We 70 Had an afternoon bite at Dovah’s new rivah front. Noice.

For a late evening gone by late morning? Who cares.

I’ve went into my full July irrigation schedule here. Even with it, this is probably the worst the lawn has looked in April in years. I have Texas Bluegrass that spreads with rhizomes like Bermuda and its repairing ability has completely stalled out these past few weeks.

Back from Rehoboth just before all the Running Festival folks flood the town. Tried the new DFH 120 on draft. If you like massive hops start to finish this is the one for you. I was a bit disappointed overall, and especially coming off last years edition, which had the complexity associated with the huge/sweet malty backbone this beer is known for, plus the dry hopping for the first time that gave it a nice finish. The intense hoppiness in the new edition overwhelms the characteristic malty backbone too much imo. That said give it a try- true hopheads might love it. What I have always loved about it though, is the complexity and the balance.

I imagine summer in the east will be on the milder, wetter, and more humid side

57.6° - Not bad if we can approach 60 That extra 5-7 degrees in this sun makes a difference

Big signal for a strong +IOD development this summer, which will constructively interfere with El Niño

Also, there is much more to it than what the charts show. Structure/placement of the anomalies are more important than the raw value itself. A -NAO/-AO doesn't always equate to blocking. In that graphic, the NAO is largely forecast to be more of a weak signal with larger spread towards the end of guidance (typical), albeit the AO is forecast to be a bit more in the way of negative. Based on an evolution of the 500 pattern (at least on 12z GFS) one could argue the greatest potential for cooler temperatures associated with any negative AO would be northern Plains.

SST's in Cape Cod bay are still in the low 40's. Going to be a while before anyone is safe along the coast.

I don't want to even entertain snow for 6 months.. After Halloween it's welcome back

Yup. They’re straight trash . Indicies mean Jack dick once out of Winter

Beautiful afternoon. Looking forward to a firepit and a beer later on.

Look at those d10 and d14 graphs...they've been verifying on the upper end of the model spread for awhile now.

Looks like good, sound records to me. The snowfall and liquid equivalents make sense.

it is the accuracy of the record keeping from back then. It isn't a lie, but most likely not accurate. It could have even been more snow, but I'd question it no matter what.

2020's here, like 30 miles away from Newark, is 29.2. 2010s I was 35.9, so Newark did better. They have had some bad luck this decade with snow cutoffs. 1840s-60s is mostly nonsense.

Hi michael

What motive would they have to lie about how much snow fell? Newark is not the same climate as Detroit. It could have been colder and drier in Detroit than present.

Heh... we can't look at it this way. We can't categorize and package these up as go or no, based on seasons. If there is blocking in the right place, it will be cold in July. Nothing more or less. People have ( likely ) made conjecture like this in the past, but honestly ...we have to take it case by case. There may be more blocking in winter then summer. Okay, but if the blocking is over eastern Canada... not sure summer protects us from cooler anomalies.

65 here.
