Air temp of 1. Heat Island kept us above zero, but still very cold for the second half of March.

Obligatory cabin pic this morning from the upper terrain of the Tioga/Potter line.

Probably to let us know maybe, but they saw we already knew? Just guessing

A lot of coworkers mentioning how surprised they were to find their cars encrusted in sleet and snow thi smorning. I told them I stayed up to watch it haha.

That's what I'm thinking...

This was the 9th warmest March 1st through the 16th with numerous top 20s during the 2020s including the warmest back in 2024.

I'm pretty much wiped. You can rest easy.

Maybe someone in his family?

Roger was a good one, definitely one of us snow weenies. Loved seeing his thoughts pop in before every event. RIP brother.

Still 5” of snow pack out in the field although it’s finally pulling away from the house and trees.

This is the Hotel California. You can check out but you can never leave. Y'all be back before March ends. Lock that up.

It’s possible they had an observer doing measurements outside of the airport to represent BDL…just like how CON and PWM aren’t actually at the airports anymore.

5 degrees with a wind chill of -9. Now looks like lower 80s just 4 days from now on Saturday.

That's fine, except the rest of the world is generally in a different situation than the US. And the switch to renewables has been painful in many places. Germany has been the poster child, but their electricity prices have been skyrocketing, and their economy is struggling as a result. But even with that - most of their energy use is still fossil - well over 70%: So again - what is the scale of those charts you posted? It's not there, for a reason. All they show is "up", but they don't show how *much* up, relative to actual fossil usage. China has indeed been going full-bore to renewables, but they're still mostly fossil: They're at about 10% wind and solar. Again - low-hanging fruit; not baseline power. And they generally have zero respect for the environment; doing big projects that just aren't feasible in the US. With regards to EV sales - apples to oranges situation-wise. They're still heavily subsidized in most places. If they're a slam-dunk - then why are they so heavily subsidized? China's EV sales have been doing great - and that's great - but Chinese workers are paid about 1/3 the salary of the US; they can afford to do everything cheaper. Low hanging fruit, as they try to catch up with the developed work economy-wise. If they had our level of prosperity they would not be able to do this. China is also building tons of new coal power plants BTW, along with their renewables growth.

Looks like I added an inch after the wind layed down overnight. About 3 inches so far. Light flurries and 19.

High for yesterday was 65 degrees. This morning 25 degrees and snow.

I'm fully immersed in fantasy baseball, so it's going to have to take a strong consensus for a major event to pull me back in, and a day 7 OP EURO won't do it.

Watching this

Almost had my day ruined with downed trees in the njt catenary wires.

Thankfully my power’s OK. Hope I don’t drive by lots of downed trees on the way to Hewlett this afternoon.

Have about an inch of snow here that is very crusty.

Yeah we likely done

Yea, probably the latitude at which that foot will verify.

Was decently windy last night. Kept me up for a bit. Bunch of dead limbs and the occasional dead tree down around the neighborhood.

Wind woke me up. Should have issued a high wind warning region wide. Close to 2 inches of rain here for the storm. Drought denter
