winterwx21

The main event was over, but yeah added .23 more here from the late night showers. Heard some pinging on the window when I was trying to get to sleep, so we had a little sleet mixed in with the rain. Was quite an event with a t-storm and a little wintry precip at the end. 3.08" was the 3 day rain total here.

Looks like that's about it. 1.78" here today after 0.95" yesterday, so 2.73" for this very wet 2 day period. About what was expected. Boy do we need a drying out period now. Thankfully the next week looks dry, and I'm looking forward to the warmup next week. We should hit 70 here on Tuesday. It'll be nice to get back to weather that's good for outdoor activities.

Didn't last long, but it was nice to get the first t-storm of the season. A nice highlight in this otherwise lousy week.

Hearing quite a bit of thunder right now. Wild to get this much thunder when it's 40 degrees.

We knew for a long time that Tuesday and Wednesday were gonna be washouts. Very unlikely that would last for 3 days ... Thursday was always supposed to be just a few lingering showers, unless people believed the ridiculous CMC snow solutions.

Thank goodness they're doing the right thing today after yesterday's debacle. I still can't believe they made fans wait 2 hours last night and then postponed the game just as the rain was ending around 9pm.

41 degrees with moderate rain .... this is as miserable as it gets. 1.03" here so far today after getting 0.95" yesterday.

Yeah they should have postponed before the game, but what I found ridiculous was they made people wait 2 hours and then called the game just as the rain was ending around 9pm. If you make people wait that long, then why call it just as you were getting into a dry window? The way the whole thing was handled was a disgrace.

We should see some 70 degree weather by around the 9th or 10th of the month ... really looking forward to that. Miserable week this week, but at least the cool season vegetables in the garden will like this kind of weather.

Obviously what the 12z Euro showed wouldn't cut it for the NYC area. A 10:1 map showing barely a half inch would mean zero for this area this time of year. It wouldn't be surprising if areas well to the north get a little though.

I think even most snow lovers in this area don't want to get lucky this time of year. Snow in April would be pretty bad since the growing season has started. Thankfully the CMC is very likely to be wrong with the snow solution for our area. Hopefully CMC is also overdoing it with the really big 3 inch plus rain amounts. Euro gives us half that amount of rain, but even if that's correct it's gonna be a miserable few days.

40s and rain, talk about a horrendous weather week. Looking forward to the 2nd week of April when we'll see a big warmup to the 70s. Anyway I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.

Yeah as you pointed out yesterday, next week looks miserable. Rainy early to mid week and then chilly and windy mid to late week. I'm hoping we can break out of this pattern and get back to nice weather for the 2nd week of April.

Only .38 here so far. Looks like just light rain the rest of the afternoon, so we'll probably end up with only around a half inch here. As others pointed out, the eastern solutions ended up being right with this. Still a miserable rainy day though.

Yeah I was outside planting lettuce and broccoli this afternoon, and it got nasty with the light rain and temp drop to 47 degrees. I wish we could go back to the 70s that we had earlier in the month.

Yep no surprise that the models were wrong with that east trend that they had for a little while. Another super soaker tomorrow, ugh. I assume opening day for the Mets will be moved to Friday.

Yep. HRRR tonight is pretty far west for Thursday too. We can hope all we want for the east trend, but that goes against what usually happens.

NAM now east on the 18z run as well. Dry Thursday afternoon for the Mets opener. Let's hope this trend continues!

12z Euro is east with Thursday's rain. It would be great if the east trend wins for a change instead of the usual NW/wetter winning. Would be nice if Thursday is mostly dry and the Mets can play their home opener, but I definitely wouldn't bet on that yet.

Yeah 53 degrees here today felt great with the strong late march sunshine. I went outside with a sweatshirt on, but quickly took it off and worked with just a t-shirt on. Tomorrow won't be as comfortable since it will be cloudy.

Time to get the gardening season started! Today I'm planting seeds (peas and radishes), and later in the week I'll plant lettuce and broccoli plants. I was hoping it would be a bit warmer today, but it's still a beautiful day. We've been spoiled by all the warm weather, so near normal early spring temps in the 50s feels chilly to us now. We have to get used to it since there's no sign of warm weather coming back for awhile. Looks like lots of high temps in the 50s ahead. Too bad it's looking like another super soaker for Thursday. Bad timing for the Mets home opener. I assume it'll be postponed until Friday.

Me too. Right now I'm sick and tired of these big soaking rainstorms, but during the summer I'll be right here you you and Stormlover rooting hard for our area to be hit by thunderstorms.

Low temp of 24 here. Horrible that we're looking at another big soaker on Saturday. I'm looking forward to Monday. Starting the vegetable garden that day and it looks like nice weather. Forecast is mid 50s, but with lots of sunshine I wouldn't be surprised if it's an overperformer with temps getting close to 60.

Too bad the idea of Tuesday being just a brief cool shot and then a quick warmup failed. Now it looks cool through the weekend, but thankfully next week looks warmer. Not a huge warmup like we had last week, but a decent one. We'll probably get back to 60s. I'm starting the garden with the cool season vegetables next week, so the warmer temps will be nice for the spring planting.

Impressive to be at 72 degrees here with the mostly cloudy skies.
