  1. Was just thinking about this. And it's not just April, look how bad last fall was. If this keeps up I'm going to map out some areas.
  2. It dried out the top layer maybe, but water tables still high and definitely concerned about rivers tomorrow. We need a dry pattern that lasts for several months, and when it does rain it's not big soakers.
  3. Shouldn't surprise anyone. No matter the kind of winter we have spring tends to be terrible around here lately.
  4. And yet next week my forecast highs are in the 40's with lows in the 20's. I see all these t-shirt people and wonder if they think it's summer from here on out.
  5. Just about 2" here and still raining. Had some heavy pockets where it really came down. Stuck in the upper 30's most of the day. Doesn't get much worse.
  6. It's really part of the up and down pattern we've been in for awhile. Warm up, cool down on repeat, although the former tends to last longer.
  7. Good data. Definitely not surprised to see we're in the wetter area. Really ever since June it's felt like we've been in an excessively grey and wet period. Almost never had to add water to the pool, and look how many weekends we lost in the Fall.
  8. If you add up all the "new snow accumulation" that's like 14 feet??
  9. Pretty decent wind gusts. Half an inch of rain here since midnight. 42 now down from 57.
  10. That's why I've been doing periodic clean-ups the past few years. A couple weeks ago for instance, before the snow came, I filled up a whole bag with branches, stray leaves, and some other yard debris. Now when spring arrives there won't be much to do.
  11. 2.5" here today makes it an even 20" for the season. Not bad actually considering December was a disaster. Cold night ahead.
  12. Not bad here at all. Had some heavy rates that added up pretty quicky, and it was kind of nice seeing that again. Storm total was right around 9.0". We'll see what the next few days bring.
  13. Right but it doesn't matter how much moisture there is when no cold air is available. You'd have to have everything come together perfectly for storms to work out as we keep getting warmer winters.
  14. Yeah I mean at this point you got 2 weeks of February to work with. March is never a month to count on snow when you're already in the hole and BN. It does tend to be snowier than December (not that it would be a hard thing to achieve this year) but it could also go the opposite way and be mild.
  15. Absolutely. I've said it several times but all summer and fall has been very wet and gloomy. We need a pattern shift this spring.
  16. We've been in an excessively cloudy period since about June.
  17. I'd be interested in seeing a graph that shows how many cloudy days we've had relative to normal. It seems like ever since the June wildfire smoke that getting a dry sunny stretch has been next to impossible. Sure hope we can start a new trend with less precip, since snow seems non existent anyway.
  18. Well who knows what Febraury, especially mid-month on, may hold. Maybe even the first week or two of March we can score something. I know it's not ideal, but a lot of years in the last 10 or so have been really dependent upon relatively short but incredible stretches like March 18 or Feb 21. The stuff like 13-14 just doesn't happen anymore.
  19. This is a really impressive arctic shot funneling in from Canada. Even as it moderates by the time it gets to us, highs below freezing and nights in the teens will be a huge turnaround from this time last year. Any snow we get will have some staying power.
  20. Hoping for a huge bust here considering how bad the river flooding situation was last week. Regardless, looks like a pretty grey and damp few days until the weekend.
  21. I'm curious how this winter will play out as compared to 15-16. At this point back then, I still hadn't recorded any snow (like this year), and would only get a half inch until the middle of January. Then came the big storm, and a cold snap in February with some smaller storms. Then came 17-18 with that crazy March and 20-21 with the February blitz. A lot of our better years were backloaded since 2015 and featured a mega storm (March 8, 2018 and Feb. 1, 2021 were both just under 2 feet IMBY).
  22. Exactly...x10 Making it barely tolerable in here. Such a shame how things have changed since I joined 9 years ago. So much to learn back then.
