All Activity

Norways are almost full leaf out.

45 for the low and sunny now. But that won’t last. Oaks are so far ahead of normal it seems. Even my friend in Exeter NH is mowing.

Oaks vs Norways though. Apples to oranges.

It’s more pronounced to our SW as they are down more than 10 inches since last summer.

Red and silver maples in full flower, also elms, and long catkins on the aspen. Otherwise, it's stick season still. Another 0.21" overnight, will report multi-day total of 1.10" for 25-27 after 2 days at Pittston Farm (where there were still patches of snow in the woods, not unusual for late April).

40F attm. Had to close windows during the night. Upcoming week looks splendid

Finished with 0.66”. If we could do that every 3-4 days through summer that would be great.

New Haven's like a month ahead of that. From my dash cam on Friday.

Wind whistling through those AC units you installed yesterday?

What a beautiful crisp morning!

Today definitely sucks . Thankfully it’s in and out quicker than that’s what she said and back to summer tomorrow.

He’s been here since last fall but his hands weren’t wrapped tightly around necks .. they’re starting to get stronger and squeezing harder as we gets his webb’s under him

Despite the warm, moist air surging north into Iowa, most models show little, if any, storm activity around here. Are we capped or something?

I still think it’s too early to be discussing any lasting shift in the Pacific. Since the ridge east of Japan and south of the Aleutians returned right after the winter mismatch ended related to what happened in the tropics last October. Remember, the west Pacific has been having more influence than whether the PDO has been in a positive or negative phase. As the 2nd EOF of the PDO has really been more significant in recent years than the old canonical understanding we used to use.

We’ll get some hopefully but he may be settling in. Can feel those webbed hands wrapped around me.

cold enough to wear a winter coat hat hoodie and gloves if i go out early hmm..

Yes especially around 4pm it was very strong.

Here come the wind gusts over 35 mph again to dry things out after the rain. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/?_wait=no&q=140&network=NY_ASOS&station=ISP&syear=1900&sday=0101&eday=0426&varname=avg_wind_gust&w=none&thres=1&year=2025&_r=t&dpi=100&_fmt=png Kennedy Intl PTCLDY 50 33 52 NW26G35

Doesn’t look like much

Well waddaya know.... ...WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 5 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Northwest winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph expected. * WHERE...Schuylkill and Sullivan Counties. * WHEN...Until 5 PM EDT this afternoon.

.73 here and low of 45F; will take it but will be wind dried quickly today.

Heat is back on. Did not know the winds would howl like this.

i was lying in bed listening to cousin brucie weekend rock and roll party which i do every saturday night 6-10 pm great hearing song of yesteryear i must have fallen asleep and missed any thunderstorms...

Cold again at 12:30 am 48F and wind chilly

35+ constant winds like this are really drying out the underbrush big time again. Had only .20 at my house. As tree leaf out continues in huge strides in the next few weeks, no rain means that some streams and surface ponds will be dry by mid-May in our area as any ground water is literally vacuumed out of the soil horizons from no rain and leaf out. Then you will hear the people talk in the media about how this drought never really went away in late March and still exists when their favorite fishing spot goes dry and private wells have to be re-drilled deeper. I see no substantial Gulf moisture influence with 80 degree temps in the next two weeks in our area for heavy rainfall to be forecasted (over an inch). This spells real trouble for us. THIS VERY PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN JUST WILL NOT STOP. Cold fronts continue to stall out in the midwest and mid south every 2-3 days, dumping copious amounts of rain with thunderstorms and then for some stupid reason race across PA in 24 hours with continuing dying t - storms, with moisture availability gone in a stable air mass, no convective issues and the precip becomes sparse with light showers/drizzle. But the real big issue are the winds behind these fronts being absolutely crazy like tonight. I have had nearly 50 mph wind gusts. Guess will have to wait for Memorial Day weekend to be rained out, as we usually get a stalled out storm pattern to develop by this time.
