    Looks like once the westerly wind kicked up this evening, you guys rocketed up. Parts of eastern NJ are still in the low 80s at this hour, in early May.

    Balmy early May evening. I'm still at 73. Feels like summer. I'm not looking forward to the return to raw and cold. It's the month when both the AC and heat will run, sometimes within 48 hours of one another.
  3. Picard
    I have our AC going for a trial run. Feels like it's working good. High temp says 89, probably a bit overdone as my heat shield isn't the best, but it was hot.

    An inch here. Temp 33. I took a ride up Sparta Mountain which gets up to about 1300' via the roads. Surprisingly, I did not see any ice, but man what a brutally cold rain.
  5. Picard
    I'm only at 33, currently pouring. What's it like up by High Point? Gotta be an ice wonderland. I might take a ride up Sparta Mountain shortly.

    I'm hoping most of the bulbs will survive. The crocus bloomed so early it had already flowered and withered before this cold snap. Our dafodills and tulips are up but not bloomed yet. I did notice the tulip leaves had turned a darker green this morning but I think that's normal on colder mornings. Pansies I don't know about. It's the first year they went in this early, so we'll see. I'm told they're pretty cold hardy. Damn March!
  7. Picard
    This is the earliest in my recent memory for things to start blooming Our crocus has been in full bloom since the weekend, and the neighbors daffodils are all open. There were already a couple of bees pollinating the flowers too.

    Washout to sub-20% humidity in some places this afternoon. Loving the deep blue skies. It would be a perfect early spring day if not for the gusty winds.
  9. Picard
    We have a nice coating here that still hasn't melted. I'd say S+ for a good 15 minutes earlier, whitened everything.
  10. Picard
    I like!
  11. Picard
    Keep it coming!

    11" OTG. Still moderate snow, but should be winding down shortly.
  13. Picard
    Just last evening, this had nothing burger potential written on it, especially up your way.
  14. Picard
    8" here. Nice little bump back north with heavier snows. It's been real to watch my forecast go from 12+, down to 6, and back to 12+ within about 18 hours.

    School is called off for tomorrow. I think they should've gone with a delay to start, and cancelled in the morning if it all panned out, but I'll take it as a mental health day.
  16. Picard
    They're still hanging on to the higher amounts up here. Interesting.
  17. Picard
    TWC just showed 8-13" in both the warning statement and total accumulated snow which is bat$hiT for up this way given current trends. I'm with you. 3-4" is looking more likely now. It could change again, but the trend is not our friend.
  18. Picard
    I get a little worried for up here. Another 50 mile nudge south, and we're 2-4" as opposed to jackpot. And with marginal temps. As I read comments, the storm is nudging south. Hopefully not far enough to cut back our amounts. We'll see.

    Between too many kids on "smart" phones, and an out of touch, ill informed, top down bureaucracy, public education is getting to the point of being trashed beyond any salvation. Give the kids the day off if the weather warrants and enjoy it! Speaking of, I'm getting a little worried about the southerly trends. Much more, and I go from the bullseye to the screw zone. Those cutoffs are pretty sharp once you head into the Poconos and the upstate of NY.
  20. Picard
    Damn, I'm looking at a potential foot+ up here if the best of these scenarios plays out.
  21. Picard
    February could end up well below normal precipitation, which isn't necessarily a bad thing coming off of a saturated December and early January. Still, I'm always careful what I wish for since it's seems either feast or famine with precipitation anymore. Remember how dry last spring was, burned up lawns by June, and the wildfire smoke, and then the faucet opened up in July.
  22. Picard
    Feb 4th - I've got my first of the spring bulbs popping up already. Our garden out front gets full sun this time of year, and with the lack of snow cover and milder temps, well, let it begin, albeit way too early.
  23. Picard
    We got about 1.15". News 12 showed a segment claiming our area got 3.9" of rainfall per radar estimates, which was wildly inaccurate. On top of a 1" snowfall forecast which we didn't see a flake of either.
  24. Picard
    Anyone been up top of High Point mountain today? There's got to be some noticeable snow/ice accumulations. I don't think it made it above freezing.
  25. Picard
    The entire color spectrum is represented in the current radar. Temp here is 35.6, with a cold, moderate rain. Elevation 800'
