Don’t see the Pope’s tropical forecast for NNE.

3° at Estcourt Station.

Hopefully everyone is out enjoying it this morning.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Our daffodils and tulips are frozen

[dendrite]

Even 28° for Ditty.

Hopefully all of his leaves froze off.

6z GFS was so close day 9

I thought the BOS record of 21° for today was a joke until I saw 16° at CON. What the hell was that airmass in 1875.

Gotta love the northeast trough… while the rest of the country bakes.   Being in the 70s would be awesome.

It's fallen right back into that "targeted" cold anomaly that festered the entire winter ... enabling straw men deniers two sheets away from being as smart as flat Earthers.

To be fair this airmass affected most of the rest of the country too. 

[Typhoon Tip]

It seems about hours 72 to 96 removes the -NAO ridging in the ensemble means... but, maintains the behavior of the flow across the eastern mid latitude continent - as though it is still there.  The models are "sensing" some non-linear mechanics for -NAO, powerful enough to shape the linear ( observable wave distribution ) handling whether the block is there or not.

One consequence, the Euro and CMC 00z solutions. Hopefully they are wrong. Because they're attempting the dreaded rock-bottom pattern lock in using that. Particularly the CMC .. long about 156 hrs it takes tiny meso-beta scaled S/W and uses it to carve out a 3 contoured close low and when you loop it almost seems like a spontaneous manifestation with no real input.  Black hole just opens up in the perfect position to impose fantastic torture.  Hyperbole aside, that's that non-linearity being exposed.  But it doesn't have to be right because it's beyond 120 hours. 

Otherwise, move to 2nd residence and don't come back until some time deep into May

Not as long;  not as deep - or will be.  So it appears

the GFS and a couple other models are trying to whiten things up a bit tomorrow night 

 

Just stop. Lol

[BrianW]

No frost here on the shoreline the last 2 nights. BDRs low was 35 yesterday and 33 this morning. 

[OrangeCTWX]

Got down to 29 last night. Fingers crossed this is the last time we hit the 20s until the fall

That's frost.   Open fields and car tops typically begin frosting at 36, particularly on nights with high radiative proficiency.

Not so warm after all.  Climate being climate is all.

….Certainly slowed everything right down that’s for sure.
