LibertyBell

lol the pattern of stars actually looks like the liberty bell.

It definitely feels like winter today and everyone is going below freezing tonight.

Looks like the game tonight has been pushed back to during the day. It feels like winter today lol.

Did you notice this record-- higher than the hurricane of 1938!! and in 2010 they set a new heat record on this date (we all did lol). 1988 - High winds in the Middle Atlantic Coast Region gusted to 172 mph atop Grandfather Mountain NC. Twenty-nine cities in the southwest and north central U.S. reported record high temperatures for the date, including Yankton SD with a reading of 91 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 2010 - A temperature of 80 degrees is measured on Grandfather Mountain, NC, the warmest ever measured in April and three degrees short of the all-time record high for any month.

snow down to Houston is pretty amazing, perhaps Florida had it too?

wow in 1857 we had snow in every state on this date?? thats pretty amazing!!

Yes, esthetics aside playing in Pittsburgh and Detroit wasn't a good move lol.

1982 and 2010 were both such great years, good to see them decorate the top spots on the leaderboard!!

The sun comes back tomorrow, YAY enough of this stupid rain.

Unless they play opening day in a removable dome. But this year opening day was March 27th, this is ridiculous! Opening Day should be in the second week of April at the earliest. After April 10th! Look, it's often warmer in November than it is in March or early April, why are they so opposed to having the playoffs cover the first half of November at least?

I wonder if this is an early sign of an el nino for next winter? Any connection there?

Early April is too early for baseball let alone late March which is when baseball begins now.

I noticed the change in timing! Are the other two games going to have snow too (or was that forecast to happen at night?)

I was just going to post this! Why can't we get that here? If it's going to be cold it might as well snow!

anyone who wants to see snow just needs to watch the Yankees at Tigers game!!

shades of April 2003 (minus the snow of course).

Very interesting, I was just looking at the Providence data going back to December 1831. I wonder if we can use it as a proxy of NYC's snowiest winters since Central Park data only begins in 1869 and there are notations in the Pennsylvania Weather Book that both NYC and PHL received over 100 inches of snow in a season prior to that a few times. Ideally I would like to find records that go back all the way to 1780 since those were probably our snowiest and coldest seasons with a major volcanic eruption in Iceland in that time frame. George Washington's journals indicate there were more than a dozen blizzards of multiple feet snowfall in 1782-83 for example.

why do la ninas happen more frequently than el ninos and why do they last longer?

at least this winter was pretty dry (it would have been better with snow, we definitely were cold enough for snow.)

Yeah this year is way worse than the last 2 years have been.

Yes this year is bad, also there's no drought lol.

Thanks, I usually go by middle of month normals as a rough guide-- it's an easy way to remember what the normal temperature should be for the majority of the month-- here's how I remember it: January 30s February 40s March 50s April 60s May 70s June 80s July 90s August 80s September 70s October 60s November 50s December 40s

aren't the highs supposed to be in the 60s now though?

Yeah we don't have mud season here, at least I don't where I am.

most of us don't really like that lock lol, we've had more than enough wetness. more wetness = more bugs I've noticed far fewer bugs and mosquitos especially with nice dry heat
