Enhanced risk introduced

I have a 9yo golden, turning 10 in April. Starting to groan a lot and getting arthritic. It sucks

NAH NOW LOL

Should spin you guys right out of it lol! One of the wilder forecasted temp swings here as well, projected high of 74° with a low of 34° and snow

Prisoner of the moment. One season does not mean everything.

Yes we 1000% will be, but probably not until later in the summer. My girlfriend will begin bar prep in about a month and is taking the exam the end of July and I will be doing two classes over the summer ( I debated taking the summer off but if I do two classes fall/spring/summer I will have my masters end of summer 2027) and they are only 10 week courses so we both are going to be super swamped. We both absolutely want to though. She adopted the dog when she lived in Florida, found him at the shelter when he was only 6 months old and she said he was badly abused. The first time I met my girlfriend and came to her house the dog and I got along right away. This dog was absolutely the most best, loving, sweet, and caring dog ever and he had such an amazing life and we want to provide that option to another dog too. We still have a cat so we're not totally pet-less.

We did have two in the 1960s, as well (1965-1966 and 1968-1969) my mistake....but 1968-1969 was weak.

Pet loss can be more difficult than a human family member. My sister just lost her Frenchie out in San Fran during the heat wave. They live on the third floor with no AC, never needed it in the past, 99% of the time the temps are comfortable. Dog passed away from heat stroke, only 3. Goldens unfortunately don’t have the best life span due to overbreeding. But man, what a great dog to have.

Thinking of adopting another one? I didn't want to after I lost mine last year but my wife found one and I love her and so happy she's around.

That's terrible

Good breakdown by Trey on the Kankakee supercell

Interesting that we have had two consecutive episodes of El Nino that were accompanied by -PDO (2018-2019 and 2023-2024) for the first time since the 1950s (1951-1952 and 1953-1954). The third of warm ENSO of the 1950s was a strong/border line super event. Sound familiar? 1957-1958 did not follow that trend. I can't wait to delve into the stratosphere and solar analogs this summer....this is not the slam-dunk that many are portraying it to be.

My brother just lost one of his Golden’s suddenly this morning. Diagnosed with heart swelling yesterday gone today. Only 9 years old.

Shoot I'd HAPPILY take that one for my sub, lol

This storm has been officially rated as a Category 5 on the RSI scale for the Upper Midwest. It is the first Cat 5 for any region since Jan 2016, the first for the Midwest since GHD 2011, and it is the highest value on the RSI achieved for any region since the Jan 1996 Nor'easter.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. So sick of this cloudy cold breezy boring weather. And it's Wednesday. We are stuck between failing at winter and failing at spring.

2002-03 like would definitely be an interesting outcome!

Average last freeze in Smithtown for the past 30 years is April 12. It really hasn't changed much over that time, despite 1996 being an outlier.

We're done dude, hasn't snowed the whole month. More rain Thursday night and next week could turn wet. Might as well get our water supply built up and the reservoirs full now. Hopefully by May we turn full spring mode. April is always a toss up.

2.7" for me with that one, don't recall how @snywxdid with that one.

It’s great to see these additional METAR sites coming online, especially for areas like Belmont, Forsyth, and Jamestown. The link shared gives a clear list of all seven new sites along with coordinates, which is helpful for pilots and weather enthusiasts tracking local conditions. This expansion really improves coverage across the U.S.

seasonal slowdown as all the winter guys go into hibernation

Yikes 11 hours since a response in this forum, 12pm on weekday. Tenn valley is the only forum that has a longer posting drought. They are saying I'll get up to 74 degrees tomorrow. Not bad for March, huh?
