Sunny 60s here with the trout lilies beginning to bloom.

Snow total for 25-26 (barring something very unusual) is 6.8".  That's 1.8" BN, currently the closest to my average in 28 snow seasons, with only 2012-13 (90.4", 2.0" AN) being close.

6.8” on the season there?  I think you left out a number Tom?  
 

So going by your numbers of 90.4” being 2” above normal(in 12-13), then your normal is 88.4”/season. If this season is 1.8” below normal, then that would mean you had 88.4”-1.8” which would equal 86.6” this season/year.  Right?

WOW! 

Been some monster hailers these past few days. I wonder if we can pull off a 4.50-5.00" in Texas today.

I'm going to assume you meant 86.8

This is the best we can muster in full sun today.  The bane of the bay...

See my edited post just above…going by his numbers from ‘12-‘13.

It's neat to watch this...  That low in the ocean is clearly attempting to retrograde W at the same time this axis of schmutz is attempting to move E.

If you use his numbers… 86.6” is 1.8” below normal. Normal being 88.4”.

Oak buds are starting to swell here. Things will probably slow down through the weekend. There's still a couple of freeze chances here Sun-Mon.

Since you noted the errors first (a triple play), I'm responding your way.  

Average:   88.4"
2025-26:  86.8"
Deficit:        1.6"

I won't trigger your OCD with a picture of my "lawn".  It is, unfortunately, mostly weeds.

Back from Sanibel. Meh to mass lol. 
 

Went to Fort Myers beach before our flight home last evening to kill time. They are definitely slower to recover vs Sanibel. There were a lot of lots that you could tell were wiped clean and not rebuilt. A few dilapidated structures still remaining as well. Sad to see on such a nice beach. Real estate is still really high priced as well which surprised me. I thought it would be a little cheaper, but I guess not. 

I just got back from Sarasota a couple days ago from a family wedding and mini vacation and man this is a tough adjustment. 80 nearly everyday with a gentle breeze in the evening and walking around in shorts everywhere is hard to beat. I did get a bit of a burn on my upper back and shoulders but it’s totally worth it just having that nice change of pace for a while!

It’s shorts weather everyday once mid Morch hits. I’ve had shorts on since then .. other than some cold morning runs .

Kinda chilly out there. Upper 40s.
