37.4F RN with MAYngled flakes mixed in and breezy.  1.12" since yesterday.  Even the wild turkeys look angry this am 

The transition of scenery between mid April and mid May is the inverse of mid-October to mid-November.  Sticks / brown to leaves and green grass, and vice versa.

Won't mind the snowy scenery going on hiatus until late Nov or early Dec

32.2F with mod occasionally hvy snow, close to 4" grassy areas, 1.5" on pavement.  At least it's good for a little nitrogen fix for the soils.

ya valleys will be tough unless we get a good burst.. but anyone above 500 or so will whiten

Would be more excited if this were late September or early October but at this time of year I just find myself thinking of that meme, "It's time to go home, April - you're drunk." 

Hasn't been big accums like some other April snows recently but it's been persistent day after day so far.  Just another way for me to dread this cruel month 

Cold 23.5 and windy this morning but at least the sun's out for a change and getting stronger -  time to start the tomato seeds indoors.

Had a light coating on grassy areas early this am with on/off -sn.  Melted off as precip got more spotty but coating up again now with steadier snow falling.  Temp back down to 33.4 

April is the cruelest month

This week was supposed to be a nasty asshole weather week now since 2 week's worth of every indicator there is that exists to the soon to be defunct NOAA, anyway.  Get over it.

Better yet ... let's do this:  decree that CC doesn't exist and have the NOAA sign it.  Yeah yeah.  that way, president Dump and his surrounding minion sociopaths and mouth breather enabler trust fund sycophants will then let everyone back in to work and play - because that's apparently all it takes to eliminate the problem, put our collective heads in a proverbial paper bag like that other brilliant warm blooded animal, cats!  

The pattern is mode appears to rapidly exit next weekend...  It's a week.  It's just a couple of more losses fucking up everyone's brackets even further, then it's over.

Huh?  Where in this thread was the discussion about causation?  Honestly, maybe I missed it.

Coastalwx literally just said "But that goes to show you how warm we have gotten."  And it was off from there.

Even a casual reader knows the context whenever warming is discussed, relates to AGW.  Unless I missed all the posts (wolf notwithstanding) attributing warming to non-human factors, in which case I'll stand corrected

I honestly have never seen someone so triggered by this.  To the point you can’t even joke about it.

No one mentioned causes for it. Just that it’s warmer.  

This isn't a serious post, is it? 

Perfect maple sugaring weather

Big winds, peak gust 34mph but the mount pole wobbles so actual likely over 40.  Power out and multiple trees across wires around town, went by a pine snapped 2/3 of way up and hanging over the travel lane on Spaulding.  Windiest 6 months I can remember, just relentless. Pack down from 16" to 6".

Dude you need new windows

Haha Sounds like it but I redid the windows in summer of 2023, they used to pass wind like a grandpa after a bean supper... the sound on the video was coming from the door just off-camera, which is on the list of fixes.  No end to the fun with a c1790 farmhouse!  

The wind raked us all day, easily 50+ at times.  Another angle shows the speed pretty well:

It's been a 'wintry' day with these winds, to say the least.  Relentless... even got photobombed by a renegade plastic bag tumbleweed from somewhere upwind... <with sound>

Legit CAA winds here, blowing snow & cold.  Deep deep winter

Had about 3" in that last pulse of heavy snow after I cleaned up last night.  Another cleanout today, including pushing back the banks which are now super-sized.  Gray forecast was a good one after all, ended up with 8.5" total in three separate phases:  3" overnight saturday; 2.5" from light snow and occasional heavier sleet showers during the day Sunday; and 3" from the "backlash" band between 9-midnite (thanks Schwoegler...)

20" OTG.  Too bad the coastal is a whiff later this week, would have been fun to get a foot+ to top off the deep winter vibes...

LOL no sooner finished cleanup, put tractor in the barn, and it started snowing again.  3/4" new and heaviest snow of the day right now

Sometimes I forget how special GC is.

What a weird evolution in this one so far.  Light snows overnight with temp at 19F, then a heavier band after sunrise, morphed to big aggregates temp up to 22F, then a shutoff, a couple rounds of heavy sleet but only a few minutes worth, most of the day has been windblown pixie dust and lower vis yielding another inch down, now back down to 19F.  

With 3" down and accums about done, looks like the Gray fcst of 6-9" busts here

20.1° very light snow/sleet mix.  3" new.

Went to quarter-sized flakes for 10 mins right before abrupt shutoff, vis rose from 1/4m to 2+m instantly as precip went to very light.  Now dropping again as some fatties mix back in.  Crazy how fast it's changing, must be some interesting dynamics AGL

There are a bunch of phasers here, no?

 

23.1F with tiny snow grains, 1.3" down

We just don’t know!

All it takes is a cursory review of the 'pattern recognition' / 'emsemble mean' / 'why this time it's different' and resulting realities yielding melts, to know that the quoted statement is more true than not.  Lol

Can we ban the term KU? How many KU’s have we had over the last years? 

More like FUs methinks ..

18.5° and light snow now.  9" new, 16.5" on the pack stake in the field but super high fluff factor.  Currier and Ives

4th time I've experienced a quake in NH, this was a strong rumbling & rattling
