Really feel for those in the far north who apparently have missed out. Dare I say it - best climo ever? 

I may not be north enough to be considered far but I'm furious this rainy week will dim my spring jollies. The lack of sun is killing the mood. I don't buy this, but TWN doesn't give me a partly sunny day until Apr 21!!! With the last 3 weeks being mostly dark gloom, many of us near the lakes would go stark raving mad with a wem that bad.

Garden variety wakeup showers

Looks like storms will mostly stay north and east today like yesterday.  We'll give it another shot tomorrow with that next round.

Landscaping should really start popping this week with the breaks of sun

+DR(-RN) under overcast skies with a lake breeze and a 37 temp. ISH! But it is April (mud month). Most of the snow is gone except for some piles, and large drifts here in town. Montreal River over on the WI/UP MI border flooding right now, too, closing roads/bridges.

Turned ours on about 4 hours ago. After the clouds from the morning rain cleared, we shot up to 83 (predicted 77). We've hit the low 80's a couple of times, but without the dews.

quality ~3 inch soaker, remember the drought?

[hawkeye_wx]

The environment is now quite wet.  I got another 0.83" overnight, boosting my April total to nearly 5 inches.

[cyclone77]

Managed to scrounge up 0.54" from the early morning elevated leftovers.  Brings April up to 4.78".

Today/this evening has been looking like our best shot for heavy rains all along, and still looks that way.
