Big in terms of 25% of life currently on the planet expecting to go extinct by 2100. The wet market trade and ridiculous usage of animals for religious purposes also needs to come to an end as well as deforestation.

frustrating thing is central NJ got a lot more too April 1996 was a lot better for us

Don why is it that Atlanta will make it down to freezing and we cant get down to at least the mid 20s?

on long island, right now?

Yeah I feel that March and April both used to be warmer, that's also a product of having better weather and less rain. That's average temps though, as for extremes, it seems that cold lows happened later and warm highs happened earlier.

David Attenborough showing how lack of biodiversity and deforestation is an even bigger problem than climate change https://www.pbs.org/show/extinction-facts/ Watched it on PBS last night. https://www.mindfood.com/article/david-attenboroughs-7-actions-to-save-the-world/

I wonder how well my Poconos location will do at 2200 ft I am halfway between Mt Pocono and Allentown.

In the not too distant past our last freezes used to be after April 10th Our last freezes are actually moving more quickly to earlier than our first freezes are moving to later.

Glad the rain for Sunday is gone

Had it in October too

Is it as extreme as January to February in 2006 and February to March in 2010?

What was the reason in August 2003?

only problem is the former seem to be happening more and more frequently. Based on the SST patterns, we could get hit by the tropics again this year. Depends on how strong the SE Ridge is, if it's really strong than the SST wont matter because it still steer TC to our SW. Looking at 11 yr patterns 1944, 1955, and 1999 all had east coast major hits. Based on a really strong SE Ridge this summer, I'd look for late season hits September and maybe even later, rather than the early season ones we saw last summer. The above 11 yr patterns were like that.

I see that 5.5 very close to my other house in the Poconos. I can watch the Yankees home opener there and snow falling at the same time lol

not that different from 2009-10

Don, that previous last April freeze was a week after the snowstorm we had that April?

It looks like the coastal storm track is the reason it wont snow to the coast.....hugger track, Don? If it was 150 miles farther east, the situation would be different.

We'll all be below freezing April 1-2.

how does that area of SW NJ always seem to get snow late in the season when no one else does?

Do you think we can beat that in April?

I do remember a trace of snow in October 2002, it must have happened with temps in the mid 30s. And wow that is a long interval with temps of freezing or lower in October! That includes the October snowstorm in 2011! I wonder if that was the most snow NYC has ever seen in a storm in which the temperature never got to freezing or below?

might be a prelude to April Fools Day

strange it did not happen in 2002-03

I must've slept through that I found the rains in the evening much heavier and then the high winds kicked in. I found the morning rains just light- what time were the heaviest rains in the morning? I woke up around 11.

How did this event last so long, I was shocked at the heavy rain last night, I thought this was basically a frontal passage and would end during the day. The super high winds this morning shocked me too
