You know what I hate? I hate it when you get a cold snap for 1-2 weeks and then you only get a few days of more average weather until you're hit with extreme heat. Those temps are looking godawful next week

 

Well the past week or two hasn't been a cold snap but definitely 5-10 degrees below average. And then boom we go 10-18 above average with no inbetween

Agree 100% on that!

An overachieving 76 already.

Lol...Hopefully it’s a good heavy shower to save us from the pending drought!

 

I really hope it rains tomorrow but I'm not enthused. If it doesn't, we're looking at another week of dry weather ahead. Not good.

Agreed. Phillies will be 100% capacity in June. I think it is time now, in my mind. I have followed the rules that definitely were in place over the past year but normalcy would be definitely nice. It will be good to walk in to a grocery store for the first time mask free. And if people who are fully vaccinated still want to wear one, fine no issue with me. I am just happy the CDC made the ruling today. Let's get concerts back and 100% capacity stadiums back. Now back to the weather, had some drops of rain a little while ago. Another great autumn like day. 68 degrees here.   

That - I could not say better. I completely stand beside every word you just wrote. I'm fully vaccinated and I'm ready to ditch the restrictions. 

My Orioles can go to 100% capacity and still have plenty of room for social distancing. Even with capacity capped at 11,000, they've attracted that many fans so far this year exactly...

Never.

One reason the Euro lowered temps across the board for next week is this sweet, sweet qpf map through next Thursday.  Punt's the drought talk for a fairly large area of Southern PA.  At least for 12 hours.  

 

Fringed again. 

:(

Why do you both still have your masks on?  CDC said take them off and be free again. 

Yep, now it's up to the state, counties, etc., right? 

Interestingly enough, Philadelphia and Allegheny counties are currently amongst the lowest in the state for rolling 7 day confirmed cases. Is that due to higher vaccination rates in those areas? I mean...Philly is running REALLY low on cases right now, which is excellent to see. Some of the highest spots in the state are in more rural areas...

I'll take it for one week while I'm at the beach. Otherwise, yeah - leave the room please.

GFS has no frosty mornings through out.  Still not overly warm though.  Some low 70's a few days next week (Tue-Fri) then back into a more marine like 50's and 60's for highs and 40's for lows.  It seems that this season each time the GFS suggest the heat is here for good, it backs down.  Eventually the heat will be here for good....I guess?

 

CMC is MUCH hotter.  90's next weekend. 

 

 

I want no part of 90s, but it's going to come eventually. I'd love to keep those 70s around for a while longer.

32 at dawn with some frost, hope this is the last morning with temperatures this low with frost till fall. I'm ready for sustained warmth.

As long as it's not hot - I agree with you. The only thing good about cold these days is that it's not hot. I'll sign up for 70s gladly. 

Actually, according to ESPN, all 7 that tested positive were fully vaccinated. At least they're asymptomatic to this point.

Wow, we only got to 60 today and its already down to 48 with a DP of 34.   Still think we avoid frost with those DP's though.  Temp differences have been fairly extreme this spring.  We have elevation but a 10-15 degree difference is pretty big. 

I'm radiating pretty efficiently this evening, already down to 54.

So 7 Yankees have Covid and 6 were fully vaccinated with the JNJ vaccine.  That is pretty big news. 

I just saw that, and it is big news. Sigh. I just don't know what to think...

After math of the rain.

River JUST crested here less than 1.5' below the action stage - pretty remarkable considering that down here, we haven't had much rain. Everything that you've received over the past week or so, just came downstream through here.  

Got up to 71 today. It's a delightful 67 here just past 7pm.

Not quite yet... 

67.3 here - feels even warmer in the sun. I'm very comfortable to almost a little warm.

Training Time! 

Well...one issue is the clothing. WAY overdressed for a day like today. It's a t shirt and shorts day out here.   

63.1 and spectacular at 1pm. Perfect day to work outside.

Bottomed out at 38 here last night.  Just a beautiful stretch of weather incoming.

Beautiful indeed - not much rain in sight though. For those of us that didn't get much last week, I'll be spending a lot of time watering my flowers and veggies.

True. But you have to admit this is the first spring where we didn't go into Summer Heat in a long time. I know you would want that but it actually feels like Spring Weather for a change. Hope we can get back to 4 seasons again. 

As a father who just spent years watching his kids in spring high school sports, I can tell you that we've had many very cold and windy Aprils lately. Maybe May has turned hot, but we watched a lot of very cold April baseball games...

What a beautiful morning! Sunny, 51 and the sky is a blue. Going to be a great day to get outside. 

Last year I had gas but no toilet paper to deal with the problem - now I have toilet paper sitting around because of a lack of gas...

February 2014 was pretty snowy.

You are correct, and I completely forgot a big storm on the 12th that dropped over a 1' here. Thanks for bringing that up, without looking at my records, I had forgotten about that.

We will be only a couple months from being back to normal at that point (per Fauci) 

So...yeah. Some things are better left alone.  

I was grumbling a little over the weekend about rain, or the lack thereof, and my wife reminded me of what happened last year when we went to the Outer Banks in early June. (we're returning once again this year) 10" of rain over the first 4 days of our week's vacation. 

I'm totally satisfied with all of the rain we received this past week. It was more than enough...

I think so as well but I hear it a lot on the boards in general.  Not this one as much as others.  It usually starts when the LR models do not show a great January...the "February is when we score big anyway" talk starts. 

I know that every winter Horst talks about February being Lancaster's snowiest month on average...and we had snow this past February. The last big ones that I remember in February were the 2 in 2010 - and that's all I remember since 2003 or 2004.

FWIW,  MDT normal at this point would dictate ~13.85" so you are about 1.5" behind normal at MDT.   Not too bad.

Also an interesting tidbit.  It's a common theme that our "big snows" are always in February.  February is by far the driest month of the year, on average, at  MDT, by almost 1/2" vs. the second driest which is December. 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder if the long-term averages will change over time on that - most big snows over the past decade or so have all seemed to fall in March, January, and December by my memory. February has been a poor snow month (at least big snows) for some time now.

What's your YTD precip total?  I'm at 12.32".

I'll check when I get home...I think I'm higher than that, though.
