Oh yeah the wind is back!  So excited for another windy run- joy oh joy.  Otherwise perfect.

Clearing line has reached here, sun's out, big big Spring coming!

calming down now, no hail nor any wind to speak of.  good drink for the yard.  there may be another round in a couple of minutes.

close lightning here.

It really just boggles my mind...is the art of weather forecasting becoming just lazy now? I understand using a specific graphic to illustrate a point...but that should be it...too illustrate, not make a claim. For example, these UD helicity maps are getting tossed around left and right and the tone of it is "tornado potential exists here" "watch for tornadoes"...sure, yeah that may be true...but there is alot more it then that. I mean when it comes to today I've seen/heard people referencing 5/15/18...b/c it's the same date...that's just irresponsible. 

55/26.  If the dews hit 30 I may have to break down and install

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?

Less so then saying screw it and staying home.  Plus it conditions my legs for doing long downhills which are inevitable for me if I go on long runs.

I need to plan my run for today so the wind is at my back most of the way.  I think I will run from the house and arrange to get picked up in an hour.  Going downhill with the wind feels like the way to go today.

Just because it was 9F with 75 mph sustained at 6am today doesn't mean it wasn't pleasant to walk around up there.

What came through to drop snow? I didn’t see anything. 

EWALL radar loop is behind and still showing it

Yeah, so it is snowing lightly here.  39f and windy.

I am kind of hoping the NYS squalls here because if it going to be like this it may as well be crazy.  I think it may squeek by to my south however.

Were they ok?

Good to hear they were okay.

I am just shocked that there are trees left in Tolland to fall down.  I would have thought they all would have come down the past 5 years based on the number of downed trees and power lines we have seen over the years.

Meltwater is pouring off the roof now.  I'll be out working in the yard soon this afternoon at this rate.

Another picture:

Sun is coming out more frequently and we are up to 34 now so the melting has begun.  Last measurement gives us 2.6".

2 inches on the outside table, clumpy on the ground depending on where there is grass, wet ground, etc.

That poor birch above the wheelbarrow has been bent over since a storm in January? when we had snow then ice then snow and it then didn't melt off the trees for over a week.

30f and light snow at the moment.

I see some wind funneling potential there too on NW flow. 

They should put some wind turbines up there to take advantage of that.

Deep rolling thunder here this evening.  Dog forgot what it was, freaked out a bit. 

Within 5 seconds of me reading this post just now, I heard thunder in the distance.
