45-46F here still. We couldn’t get this type of chill in Feb!

Happy May 1st!  I just turned the heat on. 

My work computer thinks dew season has arrived!  TP stuck all over.   

We misery today. Wet and U40s right now.

Yeah some of the ground growth is starting to green up with very small leaves opening, probably the shallow root stuff?  A lot of buds though.  When it happens, it should happen fast as it usually does.  One day sticks, the next day that bright, light green color.

Nice. Just 5.5 or so short months we start tracking those same (to be) leaves turn to their fall colors. 

53F. 

Dang. 61F here and cloudy. 

Dare I say…we could use a little rain. 

The grass seed I put down is loving the stein and 32 degree mornings no doubt.

That makes me just think of all the phone calls, endless forms, and waiting for repairs to be done in the aftermath.

Just what we don't need here!

Glad I put grass seed down Sunday. The spigots turned off right at the same time.

Look at this incredible warm up on the 12z Euro ..

Somebody better tell PF to keep the lifts open!

It’s SNE’s tear nuclei. Lots of tears just to your south after another non winter.

Ditto... was in that same exact traffic jam as you and Weathafella on 112 "Lost River Road" to get onto 93

North Woodstock NH 10:30pm... you Jerry and I'm sure others were in this:

Backed out of our parking spot in Newport 4pm

Finally exited Newport 5:30pm

Arrived in Boston 2am, (non-stop... empty bottles in car)

I don't remember hearing a single honk the entire drive.

As Powderfreak and others said, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

I think compounding things was that Google / Apple Maps really struggled to update anything and gave some ridiculous suggestions even with cell phone service (I had downloaded offline maps before trip).

Some media attention to this:

I was just ahead of you by about 45 mins! Note the timestamp and dash showing 112.  We were all out there together in the celestial KU. No snow KUs this season, so we made do. 

My camera roll shows this was taken at 9:48pm in North Woodstock, NH. We were about 6 hours in at that point with 4 to go. 

Anyone else feel like they’re in a post KU hangover?  Back to work tomorrow too…

Before and during totality. 

Pictures don’t do it justice. Surreal.

+0.8”

11.9” on the season. 
 

**0.6” left to beat last season. 

+0.5” (4/4/24)

12.4” will do it. 
 

*Last season beat this one by 0.1”. Threepeat next season?

9 hr drive back from Colebrook, NH. Still worth it. 

Thoughts on packing a shovel in case we need to shovel out a spot on the side of the road?

April sucks 

Winters are warming. Summers are torching. Falls are shortening. Yet, April suck of yore remains just as sucky as I can ever remember.

Last time I remember the ground shaking like this was in 2011 before Irene

My friend read about this. He said earthquakes usually happens before Solar Eclipses.

I highly doubt it’s directly related, but perhaps there is increased gravitational pull on the Earth’s surface during a new moon??  No idea.
