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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
