What a revolting development this is. The Acurite stopped working

Someone was pruning the azaleas, and...

she cut the wire. Didn't take long to figure it out.

As if life isn't tough enough.

Kinda like NWS issuing a warning for hail..." take shelter. There is currently no chance of hail"

eh, whatever.

Another cloudy damp morning. I don't remember ever going this long without a sunny day. It's been sunny twice this month. Does anyone know when this damp shitty pattern is going to break?

Was just noticing last evening at obs time, that I only have 4 days this month without at least a T of rain listed.  (Admittedly, mostly small amounts). Up to about 3" total.

My April solar power production was the lowest I’ve ever had for April, although not so far off the previous minimum. But May so far is just shockingly low. It’s been really cloudy for the last 45-50 days.

Do tell;  what was the previous lowest year? I'm working on my winter analog already. (Well not really) 

56f with blue, sunny sky

Not much of a report, but it's been so long since we've had a beautiful fair weather morning, that I had to say something.

0.25" on the day

0.33" for today

Hi temp 62f. But when the sun was out it was strong

0.08" this evening 

0.51" today (still dzl)

Peepers here too. Summer has struck.

0.80" for today

Temp 52f most of the day. Crummy.

Burned 1 batch of mostly oak with a little poplar. Scraping the bottom of the woodpile.

April total rainfall 2.59"

Lowest temp 33f,  highest 89.

It was spicy out there for this time of year, but pretty tolerable.  We're capable of higher dews here...looks like tomorrow might be more humid, though with that might bring a chance of storms (tbd).

Starting today with DP 56 -vs- 58 for yesterday,  so hoping for slightly cooler, but probably about the same. 

Low might be 62f . DP was 58.

Seems a little warm, but a generally pleasant morning.

Only .03" here.

High of 58f

Low of 38

Only managed a high of 58 yesterday, despite the sunshine.

Low of 33, with frost

0.02" of rain. High temp 55f. 

Probably not a great picture,  but I noticed the cherry reached blossom last year on April 6, (when I took the same photo), so blooms are running 1 week later this spring than 2023.

It's been so windy the tree is hard to photograph. 

This morning; tide height on the South River is highest I've seen in a few years. (Wish I could give a more numerical description)

Cherry trees just budding at my location. Walked the dog up the hill last night, and same buds have opened. A little sun and I could have some flowers by next week.

So the older Ms. J is in a scriptwriting class this semester. The next assignment is to write 3 pitches for PSA's. She was going to do Spay and Neuter your pets, but changed to Weather PSA's. We got into the discussion about how the NWS has changed up their wording recently so that the public takes it seriously. Will be interesting to see what she comes up with. 

I hope you showed her some of @Jebman 's posts.

I will gladly take a spot on the podium in 2nd. 

I would've gladly given up my spot on the podium for a HECS. 

But never mind that water over the dam. Congratulations to the @Kmlwx and thanks to @RodneyS and everyone for making a fun and interesting contest.

2.54 " March total rainfall. This is only 72% of normal.

A rather remarkable statistic:   8 of the past 8 Marches have been drier than normal in my area. 100% dry in March during the past 8 years!!

7 of the past 8 winters have had below normal snowfall.

87% of the time during the past 8 years, low winter snowfall precedes a dry March west of the Blue Ridge.

The last wet March was 2015. During the winter of 14/15 I had above normal snowfall.

Before that, March of 2014 was wet. I also had above normal snowfall for the 13/14 winter!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your study seems to give you the ability to predict March precipitation based on DJF snowfall. But...

.... If you can find a way to make March (accurately) predict the following year DJF snowfall; well, that would certainly get attention.

March total here 5.52" (including a Trace of snow)

Highest temp 79f, lowest 24.
