stormy

22.8 at 7 am.................. Up to 27.2 at 8am. Probably more than 80% of the fruit is frozen.

sprinkles began 8:15. It has sprinkled its way to .01" at 9:15.

After the fruit sets, it hardier. Bloom stage is fragile.

More freezes next week for my blooming fruit trees

You know the Cansips is always right

The NAM 3k sees the current rain........................ The NAM 12 K is blind to the rain.

RIP Roger. I will miss your occasional realism.

.55" yesterday. 29 this morning, another freeze.

.30" of wonderful rain at 4:30. 48 degrees

We have had many. 5-10-83 27 degrees, 5-16-83 29 degrees, 5-16-84 30 degrees, 5-30-84 32 degrees, 5-25-88 33 degrees, 5-31-96 33 degrees, 5-30-96- 33 degrees, 5-27-91 31 degrees, 5-20-93 33 degrees....

16 yesterday morning will probably be the last teens for this spring but freezes will probably extend into early May.

Most of us just love the GFS, though we won't admit it, or realize it. A dull day is spiked with fleeting outrageous denial of expectation. Palm Sunday, 8 inches of snow!!! April 7, 1971, I had 9 inches at 1325 ft and Afton Mt. at 1850 ft. had 17 inches.....................................................

1.25 inches, moderate snow, 32 degrees.

Heavy snow and 33 degrees at 10:45.

80 degrees this afternoon to 32 with snow at midday Thursday??? At 10:1, GFS gives me 6 inches! WOW!! Not likely, but, snow can certainly fall.

75 degrees with sw wind 20 - 30 mph!!!

During the past 50 years those values have resulted in heavy snowfall winters............................

You must have looked at AIFS. I agree that we still have a few weeks, elevation adjusted. I don't consider my region out of the snow season until April 15. BUT, the tide is going out...................

The latest GEFS and Euro says generally warmer than normal the next 30 days with a brief cold snap mid- month. Snow chances are very limited other than western areas above 1000 ft.

Snow is beginning in this area................ The Blue Ridges from 2000- 3000 ft. are disappearing.

I did not say categorically over. I said "mostly" over.

We have been playing this stuff for years. How about, MARCH is HERE Below 1000 ft., it is mostly over.

Do you really believe that?

This is a piece of cake....................... South of 66 1-3 on Monday ...... South of 64 2-4 on Monday

Yeah, you and I both like to round off, but, that 37 ft. can be the difference between 6 inches and 15 inches........ Just joshing!!!! Yes, I rounded off Wintergreen to 3000 when actuality says 2512 - 3515. Holly River in central W.Va. that reported 22.5 inches Sunday is only 2211 ft. Have you ever hiked to the top of Elliot? That's quite a climb from 688. Not quite so much from Hite Hollow. Well, I gotta run and start brainstorming Mondays threat. I go to press at 4 pm. Gotta chase that 90% from 4 days out.
