I just want to plant my tomatoes May 15th for God sake, is that too much to ask for!?! Lol

The orioles never hang around, take some food from the feeders, play around in the flowering pear trees and the apple tree (if it is flowering, which it isn't yet) and move on...

Probably couldn't pick her out from the other 50 brown birds that come along, lol...it has been quite the 24 hrs for bird watching at the house. Had a Pileated Woodpecker, a Spotted Towhee, and now this guy...

This guy actually ventured up to my window feeder this morning....no fear

25.5 out there right now....heat has been been running off and on all night.

From hail to a rain/sleet/snow shower, what an April so far....

I do not not heat my greenhouse, by this time I typically wouldn't need to anyway. The past 2 weeks have been close to killing off some of my plants in there, my strawberries started flowering a week ago. It has been consistently 80s and 90s during the day, 30s at night...

I will take the snow without the power problems....my stocked freezer + no generator is not a great combination

lol, 4-6 inches here...Would be the biggest storm of the season for me, go figure

Flakes have been flying for the past 30 minutes, a good coating on elevated surfaces..nice surprise here 34.0 degrees atm

My sugar peas finally broke ground and are an inch tall, so why not...could be the latest snowfall I have ever experienced, so let's do this.

Just dumped the stratus, 3.57" of rain and a giant branch from the white pine that snapped and is dangling right over my garden...

A couple of big gusts earlier, the rain has been quite impressive though....Davis has over 2.50 inches so far, so probably pushing 3 on the stratus

I would prefer not to have power issues during the whole pandemic...at least there isn't any leaves on the trees yet, hopefully that will prevent some power outages. So what are the social distancing rules during high wind warnings?

I had almost an inch in the morning that melted for the most part, followed by another 2 inches with the second round. Probably ended up with around 3 inches here in Newtown....

Giant flakes mixed with sleet 32.6° and about 2" on the snowboard, even the roadways are starting to cave.....

not sure what the individuals looked like at 0z or even 6z, but there were some good looking "snow weenie" numbers on that 12z run for SNE....Better than this entire year, so who knows..

This picture just popped up on FB from 5 years ago....to think I saw less than 0.5" this entire February.

I would assume that cluster just east of Long Island would work pretty well for us around here, maybe even those just to the south?

This season has had a bunch of those, even a handul of rain to Mainers which models had shown CT the actually getting snow 5-8 days out. In other words, give it 3 days from now...

Might be where we want it right now? No way it verifies in that exact location, 5.5 days out. Tug that thing west another 200 miles and we are golden back here...

Can't wait for someone in NC (not in the mountains) to get more snow this week in one storm than I have had all winter long.....that will feel pretty good

With the way this winter has gone, if this somehow finds a way to be correct the whole SNE portion of this forum might just quit until next March....lol

I am fine with a snowy March, as long as I get a super torch for April and May....

The climate is clearly doing some weird things, besides just warming up and has been evident for quite some time. The planet's "natural" defense against warming might be to try and refreeze the poles which might be what we are seeing from time to time (clearly bad for those who like snow here in New England), but obviously that has been trumped by crazy amount of warming that is happening. I see it as the planet releasing antibodies to help fight an infection that it has and helping to return it back to its natural state. In this case it is trying to fight something that it most likely won't be able to defeat. Just my 2 cents... Long story short, winter seasons like this year and last, and 2011/2012 may become a more common occurrence as we go along. Not that blockbusters won't occur, they will probably occur more often than not (extremes will become more normal on both ends of the spectrum), until the snow just disappears completely around these areas and we all look like great plains during the dust bowl era...
