Giant graupel mixed with cat paws here at 175 ft....temp dropped to 42⁰ Ahhh, "Spring" in New England

Miserable here, clouds, wind, drizzle...44⁰ Had to start a fire, house was down to 59⁰ this morning

So sorry to hear this, my condolences to you and your family. Hoping you have a quick and simple recovery from covid....

Have my kids out cleaning up the yard, thinking there is up to a foot of snow coming tonight. "Broke" the wifi so they can't jump on the computer to research the computer models....Ah April fools day, lol

I was out splitting some kindling at dusk last night, it felt like the middle of winter with the wind and not a single "peep" out of those critters that had been so loud for the past week

Temp plummeted to 23.4⁰...lol It has been snowing off and on since yesterday at this time

Yup....where was this when it counted?

another band of snow has developed, temp briefly hit 26, back down to 24....11:40 am on March 28th, Lol

Early March had a similar streamer, must be the perfect trajectory for this area. Otherwise the hills seem to eat up the precip.... I should note, the image on the left was this morning, the one on the right from early March

It was snowing so hard it set off one of my security cameras around 3:30, it was impressive. I was just west of that band, but still managed 1.5"

Doesn't look like March 28th...my fruit trees are screaming from under their covers

Only 1.5" here, Congrats!!!

Finished up with an inch, wasn't expecting that....looks and feels like winter, in Spring

I am ready for real Spring, but reality says half the days will end up crappy until June....Monday is really just ridiculous, it would be different if it were snowing. My pool needs a new liner, which won't happen until early June, so I am fully expecting 90s most of May and a crappy June

Definitely greening up here....maples popping too, lows in the teens next week probably won't be very friendly

yup, 23.2° here for the low....teens next week? My peach trees were budding pretty good, glad I covered them last night

I actually heard a few on our hike Friday at our local Audubon....definitely out, just not terribly vocal yet

2.0" in Southbury....impressive squall around midnight helped. 33.3" for the season....

Did you happen to look outside in the past 15 minutes? Might be the best snow Squall I have seen...

wind swept snow....10 minutes of sleet straight to heavy snow, even here at 175 ft....everything coated already, temp from 43 to 33

3.1" here, going to take a run up the hill and see what they had has to be pushing 5"

42 with showers, where are the 60s? Lol

The only reason they loved him was he made them rich....now his decision to invade Ukraine has led to their financial collapse. They will turn on him pretty quick, their children already have. China expected a quick affair with a few sanctions tossed around, 2014 all over again. Clearly that hasn't happened, the last thing China wants is a long drawn out battle with the risk of nuclear weapons. They may end up being the ones that help put an end to this situation..

We ended up with a Regency insert, would have preferred something freestanding, but with kids running around thought an insert would be safer. I am surprised how well it distributes the heat. Solar is great, especially if the roof faces the right direction. We produced 62 kWh today with our 10.08 kW system!

Just had my wood stove installed last fall....perfect timing it seems. I filled my 275 gallon oil tank in October. I have used roughly half the tank so far and about 3 cords of wood. I have supplemented heat in my upstairs with a space heater before bed, especially on the cold days when the sun doesn't really heat up the house. The only electricity that I use is what I have banked from my solar production. I have not had an electric bill since my September bill. I paid $200 per cord, 4 cords total at the beginning of the season, paid $2.42 per gallon for the oil, early in the season....
