ughhhh next Wednesday would offer some severe potential but we're lacking one thing...

Forcing being in a geographic region that has severe events 

FYP

50 degrees, with a DP of 47. If you close your eyes (and tune out any sense of reality), it feels almost like the 80's that we were promised.

cheap midnite high of 53 yesterday. daytime high temp was 50-at 6pm. 1/2" of rain with a couple thunder booms. 

just lovely Napril weather. 

sat outside for a couple hours after work. Was nice in the sun, but once it went below the trees it got chilly in a hurry.

I know it's all mostly said in good fun but it's mostly using backyard obs to justify the overall picture. 

For example, poster A could live in a location where it is 87 and say its hot and and summer is here. Poster B may live in a location (higher elevation, coastal, woods) where it is only 71 and say its cool, where is summer?

So who is correct? They're each correct per their location, but the overall picture, its more than likely a warmer pattern in place but where poster B lives there is local influences going on. 

welcome to the forum!!

birds are crying for their mommas down here. I hear desperate cries out loud. What type of sociopath would want such a thing?

that type of sociopath looks to be you!

You knew he was coming. He’s been wet too long. They redid half my lawn and will need daily water maintenance now. Thanks a lot Stein 

all that stuff you do around your yard, and now you don't do all the stuff?

Jealous.  This is miserable.  Like 30+ degrees colder than yesterday afternoon.

Windows and doors open yesterday, wet snow falling outside today.

very, very, very, very glad we don't live there

He here 

he brought me rain. I was beginning to think things were going to dry out. 

sure glad I got my truck detailed and waxed yesterday

I’m so glad that it’s pouring out. was worried that things might dry out for a day or 2

March showers bring Napril flowers. Love this new climate regime!

I am surprised that you are enjoying the new climate regime that brought you snow in late march and early April.

My solar rad graph

mine looks pretty similar, came with an 8 degree temp drop

93N has been backed up MHT through CON since before 7am. it is going to be a bloodbath southbound later on, considering that most of the people going north are going to be heading south at about the same time. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near 93S or 89S after like 4pm.

Yeah, but I think those are made with remote sensing using water content to estimate the pack. So if it’s expecting 8:1 in an area on d1 and in d2 it’s a sobbing 3:1 it may think there’s more snow than there actually is. 

that map isn't even close to reality. most of it melted saturday, sunday took care of all but the piles and shady spots

good luck to those of you heading up I-93. traffic is already a clusterfuck between MHT and CON

I just heard from a friend that just came up that RT 93 traffic is very heavy northbound.  Over a 3 mile backup at the split of Rt 89 and Rt 93.

yup. currently looks like a summer Friday afternoon based on the google map

initial lawn cleanup completed today. picked up approximately 1,000 sticks and branches, then towed the lawn sweeper around to pick up the pine cones and smaller sticks. Will likely need to repeat the sweeping in a couple weeks. first mow still won’t be needed for another few weeks 

looks like I will be cleaning up another 1,000 sticks and branches once this crap melts away

Nice to see the sun this morning

1) where was this long duration storm last winter? Or last several winters?

2) it can stop snowing now. enough damage been give

And one more thing: I friggin hate these late season stat padders. this winter sucked donkey balls. But with these late season events, it makes it look more respectable. Do Not Want. 
I was at like 38” 3 weeks ago, all of a sudden I’m in the 50’s. This is bullshit

Wife is saying 3-5" at home now, but I will have to verify later this PM...was only 1.75" at 6am. I doubt we tacked on that much.
