Let’s do this instead lol

We really need a warm and dry April after next week’’s NNE KU. Pray.

What a shitty month. There were 4-5 days of bright sunny warmth. The rest were full of clouds, wind, and rain. Regardless of the AN numbers, it sucked.

GFS continues to be reasonable.  NAM is doing NAM things.  Seems like the rain is more east though which is good, well for us western New England folks. 

The Trend east is evident. Good sign for less rains WOR. 

Congrats NH/ME on a 3 day snower.

why the fuck would terrorists take out a bridge in the middle of the night when there are so few vehicles on it? usually their goal is to terrorize-meaning kill lots of people. this isn't that

Because, qAnon…

It’s a container vessel. The captain is in trouble.

Tupper Lake, NY it is. Just hope we can pull off a clear day.

Are you heading up the night before? I’m looking for a spot for us but have not decided if we just travel the morning of and camp out somewhere random or travel the night before and go to an official viewing/party kinda thing. 
 

I’m not feeling the pattern being conducive for clear skies…as of now.

This weekend had me cleaning out all mulch beds and access leaves/crap on lawn. So far ahead of the game. This early start has at least shown me where the weeds are that I need to terminate. 

I dethatched and aerated but nervous about putting down step 1 of JG given several below freezing nights are still on the horizon.

Last shot of cold for the season? Full speed ahead on yard cleanup?

when is best time to top dress and seed?

I’d wait until late summer/early fall.

Yup, at least I never forecasted warmth just wishcasted (which didn’t work).  Can’t wait to freeze my ass off the next 3 weeks with 3 travel baseball tournaments! 
 

This cold snap is fitting with last years, hopefully we go very warm by mid April again! 

I hope so. We’re just Delaying the inevitable after another brutal winter…

We warned, we tried.

Just flipped to snow, 3" of sleet is ridiculous.

Fun storm. All snow is great but when you sandwich in several inches of sleet, makes it look and feel unique.

Hadn't heard. Happy it's not health related.

He posted during the winter that he and the wife were splitting up so I’d imagine he’s busy reshuffling his life.

That’s gotta be an ez 3-4”/hr stuff…

I’ve just never seen so much water . 2.65” with light rain . I need the new lawn planted in a few weeks after tree guys ruined much of it . Just never ending rains 

I said that last summer and it just continued through winter into 2024. Nuts.

As NNE continues to get feet.. we in SNE are developing new waterways as the wettest first 3 months of a year continue to break records

Heat and wet records being broken year after year. @moneypitmike’s new boat will come in handy to make grocery and beer runs in a few years. 

Congrats up north. 2.50” of rain should do it. Just drizzle now. 
 

Is @The 4 Seasonslandscaping creating a rain map?

Man you wasted 

4-6”

In the old days it would try to make the snow hang around but in this new climate, it’s the rains.

Damn 3.11 here.. just verified with two other stations on my street all exactly the same 

I’ll verify with @Spanks45 

2.26”, heavy stuff is done with back edge approaching.

Looks like rains continue thru 8-9 PM in CT before moving out 

Yea 6pm west so 8/9pm east.

Actually it isn't - As I said, we might have to deal with a -NAO as an option, too.  It's weird the model summarily prints that out. Geez.

 

I missed your -nao counter argument my bad so yes spring is far away. Euro doubles down too. 

1.62” so far. Luckily the back edge is flying so maybe another 2-3hrs left of this BS.

Can you imagine being a lone astronaut traveling at sub-relativistic speeds in the year 2450 ... The Earth is no more after the Quantum Computing Core came into nexus with AI ... and those seemingly lone survivors who were cut ties, they are now technological relics counting down their resources, praying that a habitable world, uncharted, might materialized out of the fog of infinite distances - probably around some uncatalogued red dwarf.  2 or 3 years light time beyond our solar system, maybe just for sanity's sake alone ... they still log their reports.  When the reality is there's no one left to receive the message. 

That's what posting in this thread is like right now. LOL

The models alone and in blend, look like this system is occurring on the gateway into milder regime flushing over mid latitude continent.  Milder and more spring-like.  The 850 mb may still have pockets of cool, or even cool (less like frigid) incursions from the N. But they are no longer back built off a -EPO loaded, -850 mb temperature anomaly mass ...

The teleconnectors actually compliment this notion well.  With said -EPO gonzo by even early this week.  Neutralized and modestly positive from all three ens systems, ECM/GEF/GEP for the foreseeable future out to the end of the runs.   The PNA is neutral-negative.  This would ( and may in fact) be a foundation for actually driving positive temperature anomalies over the eastern continental mid latitudes.  However, we may have to deal with a west based -NAO - less certain.  The upshot for spring enthusiasts is that the cold over the Canadian shield by then has lost entirely to a modest +anomaly baseline. I.e., won't be as bad.  

Considering also the calendar, this may in fact be the last winter event of this season that doesn't require a fluke/bowler event.

Gfs is computing differently so we’ll see.
