AM Blizz Weather may be full steam ahead tomorrow AM.

Looking at it as a whole spring, we have had snow 10-11 days now.

We have had some daffodils. Just no grass, weeds, leaves budding off trees, etc. It still looks like mid winter though the ground had greened little now. Looks good for you.

Rain + and 49 here now. Cancelled my mulch delivery thank goodness. Wet Mulch is terrible. The only weeding I could be doing would require a medicinal prescript. Weeds require warmth.

We have had a flake filled spring so far. Snowiest Spring in quite some time. Not much accums except the one big banger in early March but lots of snow in the air.

Zones have the S word this weekend :-)

Light rain and 48 in the no Dandelion capital of PA.

I have no seed a dandelion since last October except down in Central MD. Not even over in Adams county where I was yesterday. I know they are coming though.

I changed plans this evening due to the rain so almost hope it happens and I do not feel remorse. HRRR gets it going around 4PM.

That is pretty amazing that a simple hour away the grass is growing that quickly in early April. I would blame it on my well know grass issues but no one here is mowing. We are almost half way through Spring and have yet to experience it on ground truth.

Your grass is going to need two mowings next week! I jsut looked at mine and its not going to need a cut this week. Maybe next week. Definitely greened up a bit.

A glistening and sunny 36 here this AM. Some frost of the roofs and grass.

I expect a virtual "rinse and repeat" of this sequence on both Saturday and Sunday, except that highs will only be in the low-to-mid 50s Saturday and around 50 on Sunday. The core of the coldest air will settle over the mid-Atlantic from Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon, so don't be surprised to see some graupel or wet snowflakes mix in with the rain showers. We've already seen this happen a few times under similar conditions during the past 2 weeks, so there's plenty of reason to believe it will happen again this weekend. When disturbances combine with temperatures that rapidly decrease with increasing height above the ground, graupel (or "soft hail") is actually quite common. Graupel is simply a form of precipitation that occurs when supercooled water droplets accumulate and freeze on falling snowflakes. Add in gusty, west-to-northwesterly winds of 10-20 mph on Saturday and 20-30 mph on Sunday, and we'll have the "full course meal" of miserable weather conditions for the entire weekend (yet again ☹️). Low temperatures on Saturday night will drop into the 30s, and I'm growing more concerned about a widespread frost or freeze early Monday morning. The large-scale trough will gradually lift into northern New England and the Canadian Maritimes Sunday night into Monday, allowing an area of high pressure to build into the central Appalachians and southern mid-Atlantic region. Clearing skies and diminishing winds will create the ideal setting for radiational cooling Sunday night -- hence my concern for lows around freezing (32 degrees F) Monday morning.

Maybe after 48 hours. It truly looks like two weekends ago.

18Z HRRR with a great graphic portrayal of the possibility for sun induced/rounding energy supported popcorn rain and snow showers starting to fire Saturday afternoon as the base of the trough passes WAY to our south. Included 10-1 accums as of 2PM Saturday. Probably well over b lown but a graphic of where it could lay some.

I did not know his name, cool. He was good at not allowing the moment to ruin his Mojo. He is a true glass half full guy! The Phil's could be down 7 and he still sounded like he was announcing the start of an SNL episode as the Phil's came to bat. Contrast with some NBA announcers who sometimes whisper when their team scores but is down 20 in the 4th. LOL.

I always loved the feel when the Phillies came to bat in the bottom of the first. It started off with a crescendoing Organ sound then "Center fielder, Lenny Dykstra"

Second only to Tony Gwynn, the Padres next best hitter wore shorts for most of his career.

I have to bring up Jeltz every time I can. I guess I forgot we talked about this last year. Ha.

This sports fan discussion is an interesting one. As a child, I remember sitting second row behind the goalie at the Capital Centre, in 1976, and some Isles fan's yelling expletive's at Caps goalie Bernie Wolfe...and my dad asking them to stop due to my presence. Many people will say that fans are worse today but they were no treat back then either.

Being one (but not from Balllllston) I would throw out the guess that it is more the attitude of the people vs. the team itself. The same people are intolerable at work.

People like to buy cars from sports players. LOL Another piece of Trivia and Jeltz that day...he hit the two HR's from opposites sides of the plate.

Yep, cut off lows and dreary.

Min 43 to watch the second Jeltz HR LOL. Harry Kalas had a great call of this but cnanot find it right now. I was behind home plate, fairly high up for this game. Used to be a huge Phillies fan but just occasional now. @TimBmust not be monitoring our thread right now.
