Thank goodness that this current radar is happening in late April. If it was January, it would be congrats OCMD & Richmond, while we were stuck with just clouds up here.

They are now 1-0 after today!

The best part is that my daughter’s team name is the “Blizzards”! Remarkably, I had nothing to do with it. The team suggested a few names & they voted & Blizzards won!

Beautiful spring day for Marysville softball Opening Day!

Great Sixers win!

Dubois is getting crushed by that line.

Lol, 1 week in Florida is more than enough for me, until maybe next Spring Training! My snowblower actually had a decent workout this year after getting used 5 times.

Nope, the snowblower remains ready for action (only because I haven’t had the time to move it to its offseason storage spot yet). Yes, already mowing in Marysville… I think that we are now up to 3 mows & counting…

Lol, that’s more like it, let’s go!

Come on, even fake fantasy storms will trend north according to my handbook…Lol!

Fringed…

I can’t believe that there is no Warning here in Perry county with the combination of wind & lightning.

Lots of lightning just to my north & getting closer. Quite the show.

Yes indeed, very dark skies in Marysville with lightning in the distance to my north.

They performed absolutely horrifically this Winter at even 2 weeks out. Most Winters they were somewhat reliable or at least got the general theme of the pattern right out to week 3 or 4, but they were completely wrong this year. They have always been pretty unreliable at week 5 or 6 from what I’ve seen over the years.

It’s snowing in Bradford currently!

MDT is at 16” YTD…see my post from CTP. Over 5” ABOVE normal YTD….

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Thoughts & prayers for you & your family.

MDT is WELL ABOVE Normal year to date…. No drought maps needed anytime soon please!

33 in Marysville this morning.

.15 of precip today in Marysville. This gave me a nice clean total of 4.00 inches of rain since Sunday.

Mrs. Blizz reported some graupel a few hours ago in Marysville. Put me down for a “T” of snow today!
