All the early bulbs are blooming well, last year very little...Even the grass has a deep green look to it, even for mid April. Probably has something to do with all of the rain too...I feel like we were in a 4 year year drought up until last July. Definitely going to be a muggy Spring/Summer if things dont dry out quickly.

Amazing the difference from last year, if I recall maples didnt really start until May. Right now many are ready to leaf out...

Second round of thunder and lightning, rainfall rates 1.86" right now....42.4°

Just had a few cracks of thunder here...now it is pouring, what is this summer!?!? Other than the fact that the temp is only 42.8°

15 minute drive from here to Danbury, 53 here, 70+ in Danbury...guess where that front is?

I hope so, but reality says central Jersey to NYC....

Lol, I mean the sleet has been a bit large from time to time....More and more more flakes have been mixing in as the temperature drops, It was almost 44° not too long ago, we are still dropping 38.1°/23° atm

Snow/sleet mix here for the past 45 minutes, 39.1°/21°

We all knew this was coming....Horrible winter followed by a dreadful spring.

sure is, I lived in central Delaware for 6 years, this year would have been a B+, maybe even pushing an A with 35 inches of snow and cold that we had here.. and to think it is only a 4 hour drive from here...

I mean, just taking the snowfall (35ish inches), plus it seemed relatively cold for the most. It would probably be around a C. However, when the details are added in, it definitely pushes things to the D range, even lower D end. A cold, snow-less winter would be the ultimate F winter....This winter was a tease and if it wasn't for the March "storm", it would have been an F...

When grading a winter, determing a terrible/ratter of a winter should take into account more things than just snowfall. There should be a heating bill to snowfall ratio added in there. I dont mind paying to heat my house, but there better be some snow to enjoy as well. Maybe a rainfall to snowfall ratio factored in there as well. Plus a missed opportunity number? Someone with some crazy math abilities could probably create some fun equation for it....

Almost all snow now, temp down to 36.2°/35°

Parachutes mixing in now, temperature is now 37.6/36 down from 40 a couple hours ago...

I will certainly sell those 3-4 inch totals here...however, we should be in the low 40s right now, but have been dropping all morning, along with the dewpoint. Currently sitting at 38.9°/37°
