March Madness

Actually its not really the timing that screws us, the trough sort of de-amplifies a bit and all the dynamics lift to our northwest

Technically as we are a continental climate type, our summers are defined as being warm and humid, so yes it will be a warm and humid summer

Which I've felt for years is a lazy broad brushed grouping and is false.

If climate science needs to create a new definition, then they need to create a new definition ... but don't call this veritable peninsula that sticks out in the west Atlantic, and suffers weeks-worth of total days out of the year, tainted if not saturated by marine contamination, purely a continental distinction.  Bull fuggin' shit.   Calling SNE that, when it's 80 in ALB, yet 41 in Metro West population density enjoying slate gray sky and micro droplets on their faces whilst tinged aromas of like low-tide ... is an insult. 

This is a quasi marine/continental mash up here.  I dunno what you call that but enough days are claimed perennially to acknowledge it's something other than purely continental.

SNE…where severe goes to die…more times than not.  There are exceptions obviously, but this is true.

We'd probably see a marginal risk if not for the crappy geography

hey the classification system isn't perfect  

but aren't there like micro-designations anyways? 

[Sey-Mour Snow]

2 storms .. totals .. What 

[Ginx snewx]

Congrats Dendrite 

[WinterWolf]

Let’s wash everything up on Monday…And keep any frozen shit away now.  And slide quietly into April/spring with decent weather and temps(doesn’t have to be 65-70), and  more sun than clouds. If it won’t snow significantly…then can we have that..please.  
 

Almost time to sign off the board for the season… a couple more weeks should do it-or maybe sooner. 

[weatherwiz]

That is some serious early season heat building into the West. Bet we see some big wildfires get going

What is that?

I’ll take the under.

10 day Kuchera Euro and of course you will 

[Typhoon Tip]

It's that time of the year when unadulterated sunshine like what's gong on out there this morning, appeals like it must be fantastically warm and soothing outside... yet, you go out there and well... we're still perpetually cursed. 

Modern technology - think ghost detection at a haunted house - has exposed the demon   haha

Oh ok…thought that was through tomorrow. Only expecting 1-2” here.

I think there is... 'micro climates' etc

mind you, part of my post is tongue in cheek, but there is subtle truth to drool humor.  But to me, there are plenty of days ... too many in fact, whence there is a "continental air mass" and we are not a part of it anywhere E of a NYC-PWM line... to fairly group us in the former.

I will say there’s a lot of fruit growers well SW of here that have flowers in bloom that are going to lose most of their crops…especially peaches. I suppose that’s one benefit up here of tempering all of the warm airmasses until May. The long pack and mud season keeps the soils cooler and trees dormant too.

Yeah I wasn't taking your post at 100% face value...figured there was some humor in there. I do agree though that the climate classification system could use some tweaking and maybe even introduce some micro-climate classifications (though I am positive there are...but they could probably use some tweaking too).

How much snow left?

nothing left here except the larger parking lot piles and even those will slowly shrink over the next week with sun and temps well above freezing during the day (and 2 inches of rain with temps 55+ Monday)

Dry af up here. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but hopefully we get drenched this spring. This little bit of water from snow melt won’t last long.

What we have for water content in this pack won't even make a dent in the drought.

Would be ironic to have one of the least snowiest March on record. 

Let's go for it and jump directly to May!

Mine are very happy, Going to be another 10 weeks or so before they get outdoors.

[dryslot]

This sucks after earlier in the week but its early march still.

That'll happen everywhere in the continent except for this specific region right here

We're starting a bigger garden this spring up here, we have a good spot that gets plenty of sun, not sure if I'll use totes like you nor not yet.

 Will be up there at SR March non skiing 23 to 25th looks cold and snowy .

It’s been all locked up in the pack for months too…so deeper soil has been drying out and is ready to quickly absorb what we have back in. Once everything starts greening up it’s going to get sucked up quickly

Yes it does.
