We pray. But I want to see it inside d5 again before I believe it. Seeing BN heights in New Foundland is giving me PTSD.

Ya…that isn’t to promising.  But we can hope.

Finished with 6.7" and 0.65" LE, moist but not sloppy.

This.

Yes, which is The Best way to remember things…by association.

Any chance of April snow?

Always a chance..except it’s like 1%.  Or Maybe .5% there. Enjoy the milder weather when it comes Ant…it’s not all bad.

Kidding aside. For the last decade plus, almost every met in here has called out ASOS/AWOS sites when they are starting to run out of line. We overanalyze temps and dews in here daily so we notice when a site starts to report data that is out of place with the norm. I think we have personally contributed to some of these sites getting fixed earlier than they would’ve otherwise been.

I have mentioned many times about how ASOS is very responsive and that they had to go with 5 min running means to better mimic the slower response of liquid thermometers. We’ve all mentioned how it’s difficult to thread all of the site’s records with changes in instrumentation, shielding, and siting. It is what it is.

But this was just about throwing “UHI” out there because of heat records when every site out there in tumbleweedville is breaking records by 10°F.

There's been a BN pattern that's been pretty specifically attacking N/E of the Mason Dixie line latitude.  One that is unrelenting.  It's really just a variation of the same aspects that brought folks cold and snows through much of the winter. 

However, the last three weeks lost much of the high latitude blocking - as we move through March toward April it is more and more required that there be a direct cold air feeding into a snowing scenario.  Blocking was a means to supply that direct source. What's left is a  BN but not BN enough without that sourcing.

What he said was perfect, and spot on. Sorry if you don’t like it. Get your mouth off of the warminista weenies.  
 

And all kidding aside as well, that’s cool that you’ve contributed to getting the ASOS fixed…I honestly think that’s great.

I’m certainly not all cold all the time…but that’s not relevant in this thread.

My jaw almost hit the floor when I read that. The irony about rejecting information that doesn’t fit a narrative. 
 

it’s apparently easier to bury head in sand than actually assess what is really happening. Wild.

Is March 15 - April 15 the worst month of the year?

But there's at least anticipation of the upcoming winter.   March it's 39 and cloudy with not much hope for snow

First 10 days or so I'm balls-deep in the outlook, anyway...then the last 20 days or so I'm just happy to be done and coasting to the holiday season.

Can extend it a couple more weeks some years. I remember golfing at the end of April and when I got home, I'd light my wood stove to warm up.

You sir are a follower, and you of all people…Mr NEGATIVITY incarnate.  Pathetic!    
 

You believed the nonsense of no more coastals…then got two in a months time that left you with 4 ft!!  Comical.

You may get c-1” if you can get a squall for a time, but tried to tell you about this morning.

Dude... It's done! Just wipe that thought from your brain ( especially where you are ). It's rare by that point to get Snows.... And even if we do, it would be a surprise. Better to look forward to next year at this point.

Central Park has had only 3 Aprils this century and 2 with 1"+ (4.0", 2003; 5.5", 2018).  That would be 12% measurable, 8%.  Extended to the most recent 50 years, it's 7 meas., 4 with 1"+ including the 1982 blizzard.  The site's first 100 years (1869-70 thru 1968-69) had lots more - 32 meas., 23 with 1"+.

Ok, so his odds are better than I gave it…that should make him happier.
