And now it's flurrying.
-
For now I'll just keep the brassicas inside where they seem to be pretty happy. I've been waiting until I see steady warmth from 14 days out to even start some of the other stuff so maybe things will dry out and the soil will actually warm up and I can plant by early May for mid May replant outside. For now it's just regrowth from last year and some peas and beans that I put out already.

An inch and a half of rain, it's windy, misty and 40°. It sure feels like the second half of April
-
I thought I heard some pingers right at the start but really, all I've gotten is a lot of rain. 1.42" so far.
-
That's ok, the garden is doing so well snow might be a problem. The berries are jamming right along and the garlic is doing incredibly well.

What do we think about Jay on Wednesday? I still have my Indy passes for there.

Blue skies, bright sun with snowflakes falling. Good stuff
-
Ha. I have a couple of old milk cans that are used exactly the same way yours is

Dude... Some thoughts are better when you keep them to yourself.

I never expect full leaf out here until the third week of April but, as usual, "green up" has started. The buds are filling out on almost everything and some things like berries and rhododendrons are bursting today. There's a very noticeable difference in the ground moisture as every plant around started sucking the ground dry last week to make it happen so even with the recent rain it's not as soggy as you'd expect. It's almost here, pretty much right on time.
-
Yup. I had two heavy white rain bursts today.
-
Nice. I just had a white rain shower
-
I was just looking at some of the ski cams from around the state and it's snowing in a lot of the hilly areas. This broad circulation has been great to watch for a bunch of days now.
-
Popcorn shower cells keeping everything wet. Yuck

And to think, I used to enjoy springtime

It was an interesting drive north on 22 yesterday morning. The Croton River was raging and barely within it's banks in a few spots then on the north side of The Great Swamp the flooding was up onto the road in Wingdale. It was easily 10" deep in 2 spots. I went up to the Slate Valley area and it was soaked all the way up with high water problems in a few spots. ...and it's raining again
-
Passed 2" a little while ago. Soggy...
-
I don't remember the spring of 83 being terribly wet on the South Shore but I do remember the ski season wrapping up early and then the surfing sucked until about mid June.

The garbage can is sinking into the ground by the street.

This follows my thoughts developed over the last 40 years that tropical and subtropical storms are heat pumps. The storms pull heat out of the tropics and bring it poleward so with the higher number of storms over the last 20 years there needs to be more deep, southerly reaching troughs to bring the cool air down to balance things out. (How far off are my thoughts?)
-
I don't even bother looking at new shoes that aren't waterproof because it's wet more often than not anymore.
-
Snow on the sides of the road started west of Middletown this morning and above 1500, all the way to Binghamton and then above about 800 up to Syracuse had fresh accumulations from yesterday. It wasn't much but made for a nice ride with greenery doing its best in the face of our stupid new spring weather pattern, the contrast between fresh white and green was nice. Tuesday night should be just wet right? I'll be driving in late, won't be leaving Buffalo until about 3 then making a beeline for home.

So because we are all annoyed by the refusal to multi quote we get called lazy and stupid. Someone needs to find a new sandbox to play in...
-
Yup. Other than just a bit of additional spillover right along the spine of the divide almost all of the big snows are east of the western river basins and will give no benefit at all.

What impressed me most is it's not a local or even regional thing, it was the whole quarter of the country for a while
