My neighbor is spring flinging it....riding a lawnmower in a leather winter jacket and winter hat.   (Not to interpret the important updates which are indeed more pressing than this spring fling news.)

I'll be sneaking in a mow today for sure.  Low of 34 here.  Looks like MDT only dropped to 40.  Speaking of MDT, looking into my crystal ball, I have the month ending with a mean temp of 55.2, which would by +2.1 AN and good for 17th place all-time.  Book it.

Thought I would throw up the numbers as April is not a month that has been dominated by this century...like so many other data points and charts. Only 7 of the top 20.   Still a decent chunk but used to seeing closer to 12-15 of the top 20. 

Mesos's except the Rgem have a wet highs in the 40's day tomorrow. Get the mowers out today.   #noshortssaturday.  MDT's AN departures is down to 1.6 with more to drop before bouncing back up again the last 3 days of the month. 

37 here.

Do I have to come in here and do Blizz’s dirty work?

How much snow does that show for Marysville...that MAY be a hint. 

A feeble .01 of rain so far.

1. I'll gladly take rain, especially at this time of the year (flower/plant/veggie season)

2. I'm ready for the grass to slow down. I'm working tonight but mow #8 needs to happen in the next day or two. 

3. #1 and #2 sort of contradict each other. LOL

It has only rained a little over 1" at MDT over the last 3 weeks.   Not D word but not wet either. 

WGAL going out on the limb with temps dropping near or below normal again mid to late next week.

...ELEVATED RISK OF WILDFIRE SPREAD THIS AFTERNOON...

A combination of dry fuels, low relative humidity and windy
conditions this afternoon will create an elevated risk of wildfire
spread across much of Central Pennsylvania.

Minimum relative humidity values will range from 20 to 30 percent
accompanied by wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph from the south-
southwest.

 

It is very dry out especially with the wind and DP's.    If we miss out on rain tonight/tomorrow and Sat, the mowings will slow down real fast.

Minimum relative humidity values will range from 20 to 30 percent accompanied by wind gusts between 20 and 30 mph from the south- southwest.

Residents are urged to exercise caution if handling any potential ignition sources, such as machinery, cigarettes, or matches. If dry grasses and tree litter begin to burn, the fire will have the potential to spread rapidly.

It only takes a few sunny, low humidity days to dry out the top layers of soil.    Let's hope for rain tomorrow. 

Actually, I just read this so there is some difference.    What they are doing is more lie Grandpa Simpson yellow at the clouds,

I didn't even know you could protest in the Association? Obviously it used to happen in MLB but i wasn't aware of it ever happening outside of baseball. 

Has a protest ever been successful?

Edit: There was a successful protest in the NBA in 2007. That is the only one in more than 40 years. 

There have been a few this year, all unsuccessful.   The word I read was grievance but I think that is the same as protest. 

I just read the Sixers may protest the second game based on the Nurse not getting the timeout.

Reminds me of this one Open Lines Art Bell did back in, I want to say 2013? He had a call-in related to aliens and Art asked the caller how he would feel about aliens if they came down and said they too were Christians. The caller said he would be okay with it, but then Art asked him how he would feel if the aliens came down saying there is no god, and the caller said he wouldn't be ok with that.

The very end where Caleb and the little girl are dropped off into the new world with a rabbit always made me think they were trying to establish the new earth, specifically with the "Go forth and multiply," which made me think that maybe the writer decided the solar explosion was rapturous and only the littles move on, cutting out an entire series of middle-men and a mass judgment.

I think the writer was definitely trying to make the audience come up with these questions and indeed the solar flare was the rapture.   Note that the "angel" told Caleb that the little girl's mother was now safe after she died.  A sort of heaven reference.
