snowing right now near and north of Allentown!

Surprised we didn't say below 40 for a high that day in April 2018 when we had 6" of snow! I remember April 1995 very well for some reason, that was a sunny and very cold day and it was weird to see it so cold in April without any snow lol. Made up for it the following April and almost had back to back Aprils of below 40. 2003 had the all day snowstorm in April of course, one of my favorite snow seasons of all time.

1967 was legendary for late season cold. How does this compare with what happened in April 2014? I remember we had some very late season snow and cold then too.

it stayed in the 30s! How often does that happen in April?

it formed some random patterns lol

Having less humans on the planet would also certainly help. No one regulates the destruction on the planet better than nature does. So humans will also be one of the species that will be culled to reduce their negative impacts on the environment. Climate change is also mentioned, it's all part of the same capitalist evil that humanity is addicted to.

But they are being penalized for the illegal animal trade with this pandemic (which was also mentioned in the documentary as the primary cause for it) and so have started to shut down those animal markets. Humans expanding into regions they dont belong in was also explained as another reason for both this and the AIDS pandemic.

we need to embargo the hell out of them until they stop the illegal animal trade and shut down their coal factories. They are far more dangerous to the planet than Iran is, for example. Shut down all trade with these nations and isolate them from the rest of the planet.

It's also mentioned that overconsumption tendencies of modern society need to be curbed so they agree with you. African nations are doing their part by giving poachers life sentences in jail, the main problem right now is China and Indochina.

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?
