Down to 40 here, sign of things to come, at least had a nice morning.

Suns OUT!  Just hit 50.   I am seasoning my new webber frying insert for my grill.   Doing smash burgers in a bit...

Skys have cleared again. Nice little warm pocket around me.

You are the pack leader in CT for sure. My pack is down to 4-8” .. 54 degrees here. The shore up to 84 will be wiped out this coming week.

We had a good run. I have full sun in my yard so its going to melt fast.

 

So grateful we did not have a repeat of the last couple winters.

Interesting to see this chart. I am in the agriculture business and we have farms in FL (in the Lakeland area). Per my coworkers (I just joined in late 2025), we've deployed more anti-freeze measures this winter (i.e. running water at night-14 nights so far) than any year since we've owned these assets (late 90's).

Yea, been a very cold winter.

The snow crystals crushed reflect nicely

The snow on my roof was a foot above that vent on Monday

Spring is in the air.  The yard stick was at 36" after the storm, and we are down to 14".  Lots of sun and melting last few days...

It’s going quick, grass halos under every south facing tree. What a run though, was pretty awesome. Zero complaints

Today would have been near or over 70 if we hadn’t had snowpack like this

Your high there was what?  50ish?

No way that snowpack lopped off 20 degrees.

Well, stand in the middle of a cleared walmart parking lot vs a snow covered open field.

Maybe not 20 degrees.

So much beer.

today was great being outside with temp at 50 in the sun. -15 up north Monday morning is going to be a slap in my wiener when we get ready for snowmobiling.

925 mb temps are about 40-45 degrees, so doubtful.

I’m not saying it wouldn’t be warmer, but there’s a reason we don’t take readings in Wal-Mart parking lots too.

Put a sensor in an open field with snow, vs an open field without snow… maybe 5F more?

51. Would have easily hit 70 in torch slots like BDL, TAN etc

BDL hit 48-49F?

I guess we’ll agree to disagree based on 925mb and 850mb temps.

Maybe low-60s with fully mixed boundary layer at max heating for BDL, I’ll give you that.
