Logan11 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Another pleasantly chilly morning here with a low of 23. We are getting a good amount of cirrus now...I guess from the disturbance passing south of here. http://capitalregion...ather_stations/ Snow just about gone, ice hanging tough.

Logan11 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Nice. You must be really shaded also.... Here on my full sun lawn it has been but a memory for a couple weeks...excepting the minor snows of a week ago, etc. I have a few remaining patches scattered in the very shaded woods way back..... It is annoying to be in the full sun, but in the summer I notice much less in the way of bugs, mosquitos, etc., and the freshening breeze is common. So take your pick I guess..... quote name='West Mtn NY' timestamp='1302305345' post='618801'] Snow still hanging in there................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNYLakeEffect Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Only a low of 69F last night! If the COOP obs period didn't include yesterday morning, that would be the previous record high low in April by 11F! We don't even see this in the summer very often.

Logan11 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 9:40 AM and still waiting for the warm air to break through here. 51F and very overcast. Every forecaster says mid 70's today so I assume something has to give soon. Only a low of 69F last night!

Catskills Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 77.7F here right now. The first day to break 70 and not far from the 81 record from 1945. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roady Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 High of 68* yesterday really caused the snowpack here to take a hit. Kinda weird with a foot of snow in the swamp and hearing the peapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Same here...first peepers on Sunday.... The back lawn finally greened up in patches, but still no real growth. I sneezed so some early trees (maybe willows) are starting. Down around Albany budding is more prolific. I heard the peepers, too, yesterday, for the first time this season. Spring is here.

skimore Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 There was still a good 4-5ft above 3000 in the high peaks this weekend. Looks like there was a combination of a slide and substantial water that carved out a 5ft deep section maybe a couple weeks prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like there was a combination of a slide and substantial water that carved out a 5ft deep section maybe a couple weeks prior Beautiful pics. Peepers out here also, but most of our snow is gone save the higher elevations north faces. Lawns are really greening up, but no signs of growth yet. I saw daffidils in bloom in Delhi but mine are not quite ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom12309 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I was up in Vermont at the farm last weekend, two ridges south of Woodstock at approximately 1000 feet, there was a good one and a half feet of snow on the ground in the fields. I suspect they pretty much melted out by now but it was like when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Nice pics. The one below looks almost like a slide area I was on -- in the Dix Range like 20 years ago.... It's probably a different mountain though.... There was still a good 4-5ft above 3000 in the high peaks this weekend.

Logan11 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 I drove down to Saugerties yesterday and en route I was looking at the north facing sides of Windham, the Blackheads, etc. There was still a lot of snow up there...most likely anywhere over 2K feet on that north/east slope still had some.

I sneezed so some early trees (maybe willows) are starting. Down around Albany budding is more prolific. I was over around Rhinebeck on monday and the maples were really pushing buds there. I got back from a bike ride last night around 7 it was 48* and sleeting??? Once again weird. Still too much snow in the shaded areas to ride bike on the seasonal roads here but boy it took a hit on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaT13 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I could probably cut my grass next week. It's green as anything. dont remember doing it this early in the past. I think I had already cut mine by this point last year after we had that crazy weather in the end of march and early april with high 80's. That definitely set the benchmark. This year, my yard is still hurting pretty bad... It has greened up a ton in the past week, but still looking busted relative to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 A windy rain shower dropped it from the high of 49 to the current 39..... But no snow, however maybe if the next batch of echoes make it here in a bit. Half dollar sized flakes here for about 35-40mins... The top of my garage shows the slightest hint of white...
