Wait until April 2027 for conceiving. Next winter is shot.

Tracking the blizzard while feeding my kid and staying up all night was awesome. I showed him all the models .

Meh, the blocking patterns weren't great in either 2015-16 or 2023-24. That's why temperatures, outside for maybe a few week window, torched during those winters. 2009-10 was the strong el nino winter this century with the great blocking pattern (of course, until late February).

It’s actually 2/3 of your pay, up to a cap. A great benefit for new parents, my wife took advantage of it, but I only took a week off for each kid

You’ll get some rain…probably 1/4” type amounts for most.

My wife already asked me if I want to have summer or winter off next year lol I used FMLA and used PTO. I had a choice though. FMLA for men was just created a few years ago.

45 degrees with .69” of rain so far. Fired the coal stove up again for the next couple days.

New York State has Family Medical Leave Act where you can take up to 12 weeks for males bonding with kid and females who gave birth along with other medical reasons. Just have to fill out paperwork and I had to mail them my son's birth certificate. I had 750 hours of PTO so im using at least 500. You have a choice of using that to get paid or just that 12 weeks of unpaid leave . My wife is already thinking about another kid so I have to start doing overtime again. There is another leave caller Family Leave Act where you can take up to 12 weeks and don't have to use time and get paid half your pay check.

No. New York has paid family leave, it’s fully paid. FMLA is unpaid. Good for him to live in a state with such generous benefits for new parents.

I don’t know whether or not this was posted and figured this is as good place as any to post it. There’s a major GFS upgrade (v17) coming in Oct, which includes among many other things upgrades to its MJO forecasting:The Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) is proposing to upgrade the NWS operational Global Forecast System (GFS) and Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) from v16 to v17 in October 2026. This upgrade will transition the system to a fully coupled Earth-system modeling framework for global weather prediction, improved model forecast performance, and expanded, enhanced products that cover all components of the Earth system. The NWS is seeking comments on the proposed changes to GFSv17 through May 15, 2026. GFSv17 introduces a coupled Earth-system model with components of the atmosphere, land, ocean, sea ice, and waves. https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2026/pns26-29_Science_for_GFSv17.pdf

A much chillier day underway with showers across the area. We have already picked up 0.12" here in East Nantmeal with a little more on the way with shower chances continuing till about noon. Today’s temperatures will run about 20 degrees colder than normal with highs struggling to escape the 40's. Unseasonable cold tomorrow with highs again in the 40's. A freeze watch starts tomorrow night at midnight with lows by Tuesday morning in the low to mid 20's in the colder valley locations. We start a slow warming trend that lasts through the week with temperatures by Thursday near 70 degrees.

almost no rain here-most of it looks to miss NW

Spent the day in Houghton yesterday then drove the spine of the Keweenaw down to Ontonagon County to check out Victoria Dam Falls. Never seen anything quite like it. The falls created their own rain. My bad on the audio, I had my finger over the microphone by mistake.

Temp down to 44 here. Raw. I kind of love it.

3k tried to spin something up too albeit weaker

FMLA 12 weeks

.42" here. The soil moisture levels needed this Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

We've had such an above normal april that when comparing to other years like it when stands out is that may tends to be below normal in almost every case. Also the kinda of rain we need, slow soaking, long duration, usually comes with cut of lows, east winds and temperatures in the 60's during June and 50's during May Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

It is moving so fast nobody is going to see more than a few hundredths out of it.

.56 rain from the event.

This is gonna just miss me. Dang

Rain has changed to snow here in the Poconos. Temp is slowly dropping and down to 34 here this am.

5” of snow unrealistic for Weymouth?
