CAPE

Gotta love the "Danger" cap that goes on all the DFH high gravity beers. Most people probably don't even get it lol.

I will. Btw "Imperial" today just means BIG- dark fruit/chocolate, roasty and esp. high gravity (typically 10% and up). The DFH WWS is actually bigger than the Eclipse, at 16-18% depending on the batch. Imperial stout used to mean(or strongly imply) Russian Imperial Stout, which is also big but is very hoppy too.

Very early Spring, yes. These beers age well, but they will die young.

One of my students got me a $50 gift card from Wishing Well in Easton. I spent it on 5 beers lol.

Or this lol

Is this like a weather duel? Its all good, until the MA default sets in for 4-5 months.

0.92" for the event so far. Not much more to come but should break an inch. 42 currently.

Hopefully a -NAO becomes more prevalent again in the coming years, and when it will do some good. We also need a legit Nino to go with it, if that is even possible anymore.

Looking blocky for a bit.

I thought the same about the ICON. It is almost boring with its lack of being prone to advertising extremes- a good thing at range.

0.82" so far. Looks like the first round should be ending shortly. Hopefully the next batch later tonight wont be as heavy.

up to 0.50" now.

I have a 120 in the fridge so I'll go with that. If it survives tonight.

Founders Breakfast Stout for HH. Tried and true.

Deluge. Only a tenth of an inch up until now.

I have some dead standing oaks on my land. Luckily far enough away from the house. They might be reds, although I have white, black, and pin as well.

The moss has become prolific. I don't mind it though, because its ground cover. Problem is the relatively small area where I try to keep the grass gets full sun during the day in Summer, and it bakes. Cant keep the soil wet enough there when it is hot and sunny mid to late summer.

Cold chasing rain. Could see it with the synoptic setup 4-5 days ago. Plus it's Spring. Easy.

Looks line some possible convection this afternoon with the initial batch of prefrontal rain, then heavy rain overnight with the developing low along the front. As usual, eastern areas are favored for heavier rains.

Hope the CMC is correct. Would be nice to see N central MD get a 2"+ soaking rain. Hate to see them get into early pre-drought concerns after all the dryness last summer/Fall. As for here, would love to underperform for a second straight event. A half to 1 inch would be perfect.

So it's NAM vs GFS/EURO/ICON/CMC? Looks like the 6z 12km NAM has moved much closer to the Globals too as it approaches its useful range. Good luck though! Hopefully you see a few flakes flying at the end.

^Headed to Tug Hill?

Those who are jonesing for Spring snow should take a drive. The places that typically get it are going to, and maybe a good amount in some cases. Per WPC- As the low lifts northeast, it will be accompanied by moist and warm advection from the Gulf of Mexico with widespread and ample precipitation spreading northward. Initially, the column will be too warm for any wintry precipitation. However, a cold front sinking southeastward will lead to CAA and full-column cooling, aided by what is likely to be an intense deformation axis on the NW side of the low, into which robust WAA will drive strong omega through the DGZ. This suggests that a period of heavy snow is likely as precip changes over from rain to snow, and model-cross sections indicate a chance for CSI banding across upstate New York Thursday morning. While the heaviest snow is likely in the terrain where temperatures will be colder and cool more quickly, WPC probabilities for moderate to heavy snow have expanded slightly to encompass some lower terrain as well where the dynamic cooling will overcome the marginal low-level thermal structure. WPC probabilities have increased, and are now high for 6 inches on days 2.5-3 in the Finger Lakes region, the Tug Hill Plateau, and Adirondacks of New York. In the Adirondacks, locally more than 10" is likely where some upslope enhancement will occur as NW flow develops behind the low. WPC probabilities for 4 inches are moderate for much of upstate New York outside of the Hudson River Valley, and parts of VT. Lighter snows adding up to a few inches are likely as the low pulls away in the favored upslope regions of WV, and downwind of Lake Erie and Ontario.

Looks familiar.

Bugs are prolific. A late season freeze or 2 will have zero impact.
