Itstrainingtime

I took an extra day off today to recover from our trip and I was reading reports of graupel and even snow down in the DMV. Shortly thereafter a little shower rolled through here. It couldn't have lasted 2 minutes but it came down heavy for about a minute.

Going to record a T of snowfall today as a heavy graupel shower rolled through earlier.

Still a couple things to resolve - cloud cover and wind. We need those to work out to really drop.

St. John. We visited back in 2012 while we were in St. Thomas and vowed to return. We have cruised to St. Croix and loved it as well. Honestly, St. Thomas is our least favorite of the USVI. Too touristy. The other islands are much more laid back.

Thank you! It was truly amazing. Problem is, every time we go somewhere new we end up loving it and now we have a list of new places and ones we want to return to. Did you post your winter grade? I'm curious what your thoughts are.

Just got home from 11 days in the Virgin Islands. After all of the tropical humidity of the past week and a half, I am already loving this weather!

As of noon on 4/8, snow pile along the river in Columbia is down to approximately 8" or so. This is the remnants from the January storm. In the weeks that followed it was piled over 20' high. That is the only snow that I know of in my general driving area. LCBC Church in Manheim used to have enormous piles years ago but I haven't been by there in a long time. Gotta give a shoutout to Camelback Ski Resort in Tannersville. Not only are they still open, they actually made snow last night! They've already announced that they're extending their ski season into May this year. Should be interesting next week with the onset of VERY warm weather. Here's a look - the base looks really good for this time of year: https://www.camelbackresort.com/resort-information/live-cameras

Frosty low of 26 this morning. Looks like you'll be enjoying a lot of relatively dry weather here at home while I deal with the onset of the rainy season in the Caribbean.

If you want hot weather in April, well then, here you go - MU Weather Center REAL spring is about to arrive.. and in a big way.. across the eastern U.S. next week. I might be on "90 watch" next Tues and/or Wed!

I'm heading to the Virgin Islands for 11 days starting on Thursday. Perfect timing, I need a break from here.

But that's just not always true - just go back to last week. On Thursday afternoon temps in eastern PA were mostly in the 40s. 24 hours later we were in the low 70s. At least at my house, it was 25 degrees warmer on Friday PM than it was Thursday PM.

Finished with .60" of welcomed rainfall. I hope everyone is enjoying your Easter Sunday.

I'm still waiting for all of the snow you said was coming back in early March.

Quite a few 90s in the greater DC area.

Sad fact - most Memorial Days aren't this warm.
