Just saw this. Devastating. So glad to hear about the good news for May!

That’s exciting!!! Time to tap your optimistic side-your baby needs it!

What's with the ice? Had to yank the crap out of the car door to get it open.

Speaking of Palms. Bridgeport has the most northern east coast palm tree with this sabal palmetto that's been growing since 2009..

Not a major wind event, it still will have it's impacts- probably as the third wind event in the past three weeks. While many model gust tools do not forecast wind gusts above 45 MPH Sunday afternoon, the ECMWF gust tool does (seen on Pivotal) as do the soundings of the 00z/15 ECMWF and 06z/15 HRRR. Presuming these scattered gusts in excess of 45 MPH occur, there would be isolated power outages in our NYC subforum from a few broken tree branches or wind knocking down a few dead trees. Plan on air travel impact-delays Sunday afternoon, and possibly needing a little extra time to arrive at destinations (isolated detours?). Afternoon football games in NYS/NJ may be impacted by wind gusts? 535A/15

Yes, China is a good news, bad news story. China has gone from undeveloped under Chairman Mao to the dominant manufacturing country in the world. That takes energy and the main local fossil-fuel energy source is coal. In part, the developed world has outsourced their emissions to China through the import of manufactured goods. On the flip side, China has rapidly scaled non-fossil clean-energy technology. Driving costs below fossil fuels in many applications and thereby providing a clear path forward to a non-fossil future. It was a gamble on their part and it paid off big time. Now China exports of clean energy equipment provide a large boost to their economy and are reducing emissions around the world. For better or worse we have largely ceded our climate future to China. https://x.com/JessePeltan/status/1989006026520080519 https://bsky.app/profile/laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social/post/3m2jgeqa4es2z

05-06 and 20-21 are la nina years that had a colder/snowier February than January.

Jan/Feb weren't bad at all. Both months were colder and snowier than normal for DEN.

What a postgasm from ineedsnow

Regardless of the maps, the signal is there for the 1500ft+ elevations from Stowe to Jay to get appreciable snow following the messy/rain before that. Also that same elevation at Bretton Woods in Alex’s zone looks just as good. Moist W/NW flow behind the Saturday night system looks to be productive from Sunday PM to Tuesday AM.

Speaking of palm trees, I took this nice little shot about a week ago during my visit to Wilmington. It was surreal seeing that and temps in the upper 70s after days of coolness and clouds in New England. I miss it already!

UHI was definitely in full force here in the city - low of 37F this morning.

Heartbreaking. Sorry to hear

Chin clip lol. Let's just say the girls we were with weren't the best skiers and were not happy when we led them to an icy Chin Clip. They made it unscathed

I may not have mentioned it. Been a tough year. We got married in a small thing in September. She was pregnant earlier this year but we unfortunately lost the baby at 22 weeks to a rare genetic disorder. Obviously kind of turned our whole lives upside down

All my homies hate the wind.

Big m************ snow drifts.

Congrats man. Did I miss that you got remarried?

Around a half inch here tonight. Unexpected

Yep, I'm sick of it too. And it's only just the beginning. What happens if we get a few 12in. Plus snowstorms and then wind days on end.

It’s phenomenal and worth a pick up.

That is a crazy snow cycle... and wild melt afterwards. But 43" on 4.9" of liquid is a big cycle. Wow. Honestly, it's probably about the current cycle ratios we've seen, 10:1 or under... but with twice the QPF.

Days like today make me miss summer, can’t wait for it to return. Wife due in May, so hopefully have the whole summer off to enjoy the baby and the weather
