Dumping here and the train is setting up over us this time

I think your paws are going to get plenty of water. Meanwhile, the sun has come out and we continue to get better than forecast reality. Very good for the garden going to water but then the sun and the wind dry things out a bit.

This is a good thing. With the chance of showers and thunderstorms and heavy downpours every day for a week, I think we really want to try to stay on the low end. So far I feel very lucky in that I’m getting enough rain to keep everything wet, but no flooding so far. As always, my concern is for the tomatoes.

Yet another day, that seems to me like an over performer in these last few weeks. We’ve ended up with more sun and warmth than the forecast would have predicted, and that is continuing. Tomorrow will suck, but maybe we get some sun on Sunday. As long as it’s not cold and damp the tomatoes will do just fine with the temperature not getting below 60 at night as long as the sun comes out a bit

My cousin there right now is snowboarding and says there’s 15 feet as of last week at the top of the mountain and 11 at the bottom

Hopefully we get periods of sun over the next few days. I realize that will just cause heavier storms later but I think the tomatoes would like the sun. At least it’s not cold and wet.

I actually thought that though the pattern looks and is at times horrible, the ground truth is it 4 of the last six days have had significant amounts of sunshine and temperatures somewhere between the low 70s to the low 80s. Actually pretty good for the garden and the trees I have to say. It’s just distressing to look at a 10 day forecast and see showers every day and eyes in the 60s. That doesn’t seem to be verifying most of the time.

No change.

God I hope so. This is getting old.

perfectly screws over Ray and Anthony while Kevin sculpts piles and Dendrite breaks 100

My zone has 100% chance of snow Saturday night. Very confident so far out. But no matter...I'll be on my way to Vegas.

the norther the better we melt! (please)

I think more is coming for up here, and probably 3 events. As someone said yesterday, they are lined up, and this kind of setup is ripe for this time of year. I bet one gets a good part of SNE.

You are newly married. I'm certain you can think of something that is romantic, that speaks to new growth, sunshine, etc. Come on Ant!

Patches opening up under the pines and near stone walls and boulders. But the pack is still mostly 6-18" in the fields and 18-24 in the woods. Everyday it softens and at night it refreezes but not as a glaze, instead as a sort of granular, freeze-dried surface that is awesome to walk on. I love walking on top of 1-2' of snow. I want it to melt out, but in the meantime....

Pretty good setup Saturday Probs getting into interior SNE

This is Saturday. Hmmmm. and then Sunday look what’s behind it

Kind of an awesome morning. Cold enough last night so that the 6 to 18 formed a hard crust that we could walk on instead of constantly sinking into it and hurting my knee lol. Won’t be much melting for the next 36 hours, so want to enjoy the white snow fields and hope that it just melts out and there’s no more on top.

For when and for where if you don’t mind

CPC warm for the next 14 days! I am hopeful spinach planted 1st week April?

Oh its good to know because I had assumed it was the caterpillars or the squirrel's nuts.

So they’re starting to look like we don’t dip back into winter, at least, in terms of any more significant snows? That would be so awesome. I’m ready to melt out fast.

That’s a tremendous forecast discussion. In Philly what I most remember is that it wasn’t that cold as a storm started but the temperature dropped and we got up to about a foot of snow before sleet started mixing in. In Center City, I literally couldn’t walk in any direction facing the wind, because the sleep was slamming into my face so hard. I think we ended up with a little more than a foot but then it got very cold for a couple of days. You were probably in Hooksett then, but what were the snow totals up here? Anybody get 3 feet?
