27.1/26.9, calm wind, -SN and fresh coating

26.6/26.4 few tiny flakes in the air

7 in as of 6pm today, not bad for this winter, cold air/better ratios seem hard to come by - keeps the slate of near-32 degree snow events intact for this winter, this one was between 28F and 31F throughout. Right on the modeled line here for good snows this upcoming week.

36.5/28.7 Anticipating 6 - 8 but secretly hoping for a 9 or 10 surprise... used to feeling a bit cooler in advance of a decent SWFE so we'll see

36.7/28.9 Sky has that SWFE look but usually feels a bit cooler in advance of the good ones

At least 4x, once in Feb, twice in March, and once in April. This year will be one of those, "as the days grow longer, the cold gets stronger". April will be the cruelest month this year.

...from your kbd to God's ears (papal destructive intercession notwithstanding)...

You're a MEAN one, Mr. Grinch...

Here's a confession if he's taking 'em...

Yup, sad. Wonder how much (if any) will be left Sat morning...

I'll ante your 25mph, and raise my peak gust O/U here to 30mph ; ) Might grab a 35 post-fropa but selling anything over 40 here...

Subtle but squinty-eyed hints in recent guidance of the bolded paradigm - we'll see if they continue on to a different scenario (elongated/weaker or double-barrel) or hold to a single stemwinder boring it's way into central Quebec per current consensus.

I think this is more to the point. To be accurate, the CFS did shift the primary from it's 12z run yesterday from over Ottawa, to Jackman ME... and if the consensus modeling began shifting similarly, eyebrows would be raised.... That said, on 12/15 the consensus guidance was a great-look setup for a major coastal and in just one day the consensus morphed to a GL special with only the GFS still in denial... I suppose that's why its called 'guidance' and why wx is so fascinating albeit frustrating.

One thing I've learned from reading what the mets on here have said over the years (among many learnings I might add) is this: The Atlantic may be a big ocean, but it's no Pacific. It was said well earlier: Want to avoid cutters? Get a ridge over the Pac coast/Rockies. We didn't have the +pna where and when it was needed. The Pacific is a force.

Is it too soon to be waxing nostalgic about the original title?

31.8 / 31.6 with SN- a dusting down and ENE breeze. Temp down 2F in last 90 minutes https://ambientweather.net/dashboard/e322ab5442671ef2886834c44ad4bf59/tiles

Yup. If assistance is needed, a few H2O croutons nicely dress this kind of summer salad:

lol Fish on! Keep a tight line... don't give it any slack! Bring it in slowly, let it tire out... play it... play it...

The carnival barker is back, "Step right up, see if YOU can be the first to win whack-a-mole! Take on the challenge of whacking at 'a bunch of lies...' and win a goldfish or a box of chiclets, your choice!... Pay no mind that the previous innumerable attempts have failed to make it see even a single error in its ways, YOU could be a WINNER! Step right up, who's NEXT?..."

...aaaand there it is, step right up folks: the self-appointed arbiter of intelligence and truth has opened its booth. Take your turn, one booth multiple games: strawman knockdown; whack-a-mole deflection; link-me-up; and dodge-the-hive attack... step right up, who's next?...

Ash trees are just starting, they're behind everything else here except the two 130+ yr old Mulberries that are always last to leaf out (may be why they've endured)... they otherwise look healthy and are well-established, it could be an early sign of EAB damage

Generation has nothing to do with it. Ideas and statements do. Taking responsibility for one's own views and statements, rather than attributing critique to a false generalization, is liberating and highly beneficial to learning.

Faced the same situation in a new suburban subdivision. Decided against the variance route, and the permit - it was a 12x16 I built myself. Put it on cinder block supports. Never had an issue, town re-appraised on a routine schedule and just added the shed to the property tax. Sold the house and never had an issue. I got advice from a neighboring town building inspector who I knew personally: if the shed isn't permanently anchored to a foundation, it could always be moved (dragged) to comply if there was a forced issue. Went with that and worked out great.

May 9, 2020 daytime snow led to one of the funnier memes in that awful time period:

About 1 foot, tough to measure due to late drifting. Just a pasting for the first 3/4 of the storm, snowed hard with temp at 32.2 most of that time. Power went out at 10:30pm and still out.
