Per satellite visible satellite loop low clouds eroding west to east pretty quickly.  Should warm up nicely once the sun breaks out.

Sun out here now and the muck is gone

you felt it? I don't feel anything below 3, 2.6 wasn't enough to do anything to me.

 I was walking up my steps after my kids were leaving to school and didn't feel it, but then saw a ton of posts on the local FB page saying they felt it.

Pretty sure there was another decent earthquake just a few minutes ago.   Yup, 2.6

75 on mine, very nice. Yesterday was too hot before my pool is open.

74 for me now.

Yeah, just can’t shake the clouds to get higher 

Made it to 72 so far here. Feels pretty nice

Yes, please 

Getting there.  See some blue skies here, temps inching up

Glad we figured next winter out early, that's that.

86 here as well.  More clouds than sun now.

That rain in PA going to fizzle?  Looks like it's holding together pretty well so far

30.8.  

Trenton tied a record low of 33 that was from 1919.

Gfs is chilly next Friday. Similar to this morning but euro isn't nearly as cold. Family is coming in for the Yankee game Friday night. I expect to need a hoodie or light jacket

Fossil fuels won't provide the same economic benefits in the future that they did in the past, not even close. The best resources are increasingly depleted and climate costs are ramping. Gasoline doesn't cost of $3.50/gal because demand is exploding. We would need alternative energy sources without a climate crisis. An increasing number of countries, the US included, have declining CO2 emissions with a growing economy. 

All I'm saying is that it is going to take many decades or even more to change.  Every single thing in our lives depends on fossil fuels in some way.  Even things that are "green", at some point in the process fossil fuels play a big role in that so called "green" product.  Good luck trying to change it any time soon.  

Even if you think of one of your hobbies, fishing.  The pole, line, hook, lures; fossil fuels were used somewhere in the process in order to make all of that, ship it, etc.  That is one tiny thing that would need wholesale changes.  

31 with frost again this morning.

There's also the case of modern medicines.  But we can also question if longevity better health and I'm not sure it does.  Asthma and air pollution are much higher than they were before the industrial revolution and air pollution is listed as the number one shortener of  life ahead of tobacco smoking.

Guess what was used in getting access to those medicines/lab equipment/people getting to those labs to do the work..something that has to do with the fossil fuel industry.  There is nothing in your eyesight right now that the industry hasn't touched in one way, shape or form.   It is going to take probably centuries until that changes and you're not going to be able to convince anyone to change that right now.

I don't understand why more people aren't honest about it being a climate emergency.  When your house is burning do you debate about your next steps or do you take immediate action to stop the fire?

 

Want to know why, because people are living longer than ever, mainly because of fossil fuels.  Ever realize the temp hockey stick you can lay on top of the average age hockey stick and they match?  It's going to be hard to convince the world to give up on fossil fuels since that industry is one of the top reasons we now don't die at age 40. 

31 this morning, lots of frost

No, thats not it.  It's the endless days of cool rainy cloudy weather that sucks.  I love it when it's sunny for 7 days in a row and then it can be cool and rainy for a couple of days.  It's nice to see when it doesn't happen too often.

 

I'm hoping this May is a repeat of last May.  I think we only had 1 total rainout.  Looking at my solar system, last May had its highest kWh output since the system was installed in 2012.

Low of 40 now to a partly sunny 51.Breaksin the clouds as onshore pushes west and main cloud deck slowly comes east.  Goes mostly cloudy later this morning in the areas where the sun is out now.  Mid - upper 50s. Cloudy this Saturday with drizzle as the front clear through. Nice Sunday - partly cloudy and 60s. Cooler week 4/22 - Fri 4/26, with just light rain.   Chilly Wed - Fri.   Next 70s and warmer with the warmup by next weekend 4/27 to close the month.  Watch for cut off / onshore into next month.  No sustained warmth beyond 3 days yet on the longer out there forecasts.

It was nice to see the sun for an hour or so.  Now back to clouds.

I really think that deep down, no one actually enjoys this 40 something degrees and damp weather for days on end.  I mean could understand the flip side, not liking 90 degree heat with humidity in summer, but it just seems some like to "troll" that we aren't seeing much nice weather.

I don't know.  I know in winter I love cloudy days with snow showers with the sun setting at 4:30.  If I can like that, I can see people liking cool damp days in Spring.

And if you aren't sick of these yet, here is another composite. I did edit some totality shots to approximate the diamond ring phases as I had the filter on for those to protect my scope's optics:

Great shots.  Thanks for posting them.

Did this happen a few years ago when we all saw snow showers in early May with low temps near freezing?

It was mid-May.  I was getting my pool opened, midday, and snow flakes were falling.

80!!!

Thursday is going to feel like an icebox after this.  GFS, CMC and Euro in the 40s.
