Thankfully you already installed back in early March so you’re well prepared.

About time we turn the heat off.

Sometimes we just have to do the best we can with the options we have at any given time. Natural gas is much better for air pollution than coal is. I used to live a few miles from the Natural gas generating electricity station in Island Park. It was much better for the air quality than having a coal plant would have been.

Soon as my potato plants popped up the rain stopped. It's a swamp for 6 months of the year, now we drought.

There's definitely warm days ahead but with cold ssts in the northwest Atlantic and residual blocking, wouldn't be surprised to see backdooring well into May.

Me too. I remember hearing about a channel that was about to be launched that was all weather all the time. I could hardly contain myself! I literally knew the lineup and when to tune in-5 day planner at .20, tropical update at .50 etc.

Summer and dews and installs !! All next week !

Just in case

90 watch for Monday??

I ran the sprinkler yesterday evening. Maybe a tenth of an inch over the last 20 days.

Get well soon.

TWC was my childhood. I was a kid in its heyday. Honestly I probably credit it partially with my intense passion for earth science.

Another paper summarizing 2023 ocean warming with a comparison to other methods of estimating global heat imbalance. Ocean warming is accelerating. Reasonably good agreement among the methods considering the measurement uncertainty. Global heating rates are running above the worst case scenario (bottom graph). Why? - aerosols are coming down faster than projected due to air pollution control. This warming boost will last another decade or two unless CO2 emissions start to fall as well. https://www.mercator-ocean.eu/en/news/new-paper-co-authored-by-moi-oceanographers-reports-record-breaking-ocean-heat-content-levels-in-2023/

Leaf out will explode quicker than Kevin’s crotch in the UConn men’s locker room.

After tomorrow’s cool shot, what a stretch coming up especially for next week. One below normal day won’t hurt us.

At least Holliday got a hit.

Woof, that didn’t go the glorious way I imagined after seeing that lineup

Just in time for tomorrow's boat pick-up.

" As advertised, the overnight hours will be rather cold. Clouds clear quickly as the cold front races off shore and PWATs fall. The wind direction shifts, west to north, advecting an unseasonably cold air mass over southern New England" Torch!

46° quite a change from the Frost of yesterday. Birds are going nuts.

Not really, but thanks. No damage reports, so it was a weak EF0 at best (doubt it gets any confirmation). The hail, well that definitely over-performed. The sun wasn’t even out most of the day so I wasn’t even expecting to hear thunder. It’s impressive to get severe hail with dewpoints in the 40s. It’s more common at high altitudes, like Colorado.
