Typhoon Tip Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Actually to be fair and honest, I noticed looking out the kitchen window when waiting on the tea kettle this morning that the lawn suddenly has green patches that were not there last week. I don't qualify it as "growing" just yet, but the uniform beige is now more a patchwork of vaguely greener and dormancy. I don't think that is early in and of itself. My recollection is that grass will tinge green at lesser environmental excuse - few mild days in February passing out the solar nadir into Ray's favorite - warm bum car seat season - and that patchwork look will flash over fields. That seems more like where we are at here in the Nashoba Valley. Which is interesting ...because what part of an icing event just last week flicked the turn green trigger ?

40/70 Benchmark Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 By "good" I mean above average snowfall....I agree legit "cold" winters are probably like a 1/10 occurrence at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 0.71” so far with maybe another quarter inch or so to go. The NAM is on one of its bad runs the last 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 oH man ... I hope that 00z GFS is right about the 7th - 10th ... madly deserved. 552 + dm hydrostats everywhere S of 50 N for three days of sun working on the landscape. The funny thing is, the 6th has the last of the -NAO driven coastal system still whirling in 38 F cat paws, and two days later it may be in the upper 60s or even 70 given that synopsis. Plus it has the upshot of less impeded eclipse viewing. It'd be nice but can't be confident about that unfortunately at this range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way ahead of what is normal. I was on the Cape yesterday in Barnstable and some lawns needed to be mowed Glad we don’t live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot of standing water, but I have it diverted enough from the run to keep it from coming in. We were riding the line when I left this morning, but the bulk staying east helped. Maybe the vegetation is starting to take some water in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting the Headlines out of the official offices but it seems by and large we're in a kind of "hydrostatic balance" (sloppy usage) where the outflow and inflow into the geography are in equilibrium; above climo, but below flood gauges. Playin' with fire? It's like sustaining a primed wick and never getting a match event April 2023 thru March 2024 is currently (thru 7 AM) at 63.52". 2005 had 66.67", hopefully out of reach, but #2, 63.73" will be left in the mud (no dust here). However, Feb 24 failed to get the message - its 0.95" is the driest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
