Mark your calendar and put in for a vacation day now. The astronomical event of a lifetime is coming to New England a year from today. (April 8 2024) A total eclipse of the sun. The path of totality passes through NNE. I saw one in Aruba many years ago and it is something you will always remember. Fingers crossed the weather is as good as today.
If only we can have this weather one year from today! Astronomical event of a lifetime coming. Mark the date and put in for a vacation day now. A total eclipse of the sun is something you will never forget. Trust me.
30.7F here with freezing rain. I'm with you, no ice. I don't need to be out of power tomorrow. I'm looking so much to next week with 50s, then 60s and maybe 70F. It's been 5 months (early Nov) since I have been in the 50s. So ready.
Hey guys (and Diane). I have not really been following the weather too closely but there seems to be the possibility of quite the ice storm in Northern sections. It is April so even with clouds and rain I would guess ice would not accrate very well during daytime hours. Thoughts?
It is that time of year that the South facing slopes are becoming bare but the North and shady areas still have deep snow. Any guess when my piles from the roof will totally melt? Still looking for my first 50F of the year. Don't think today will be it. 38F as of 11am and cloudiness coming in.
After Brian responded I went back and looked and I lied. After fropa I got all the way up to 42.5F. Argghh, I slept through the warmest part of the whole system. Back down to a below freezing, windy day.
36.7F Cloudy with extremely low visibility. Looks like our snow cover is not going anywhere fast. High was 40F
Such a miserable day. I needed sunshine and warmth. I took the drone up late afternoon and quickly found spring lurking 700 feet above me.
I'm at 98". Very impressive since I am only 90 miles from Boston as the crow flies..
38F at 3:20pm. Bright but cloudy. I flew my drone straight up to it's max 1640 feet above me. I broke out of the low clouds at 1500 feet into full sun. Got high wind warning on the drone even though there is no wind here at the surface. Wish the drone had a thermometer attachment. I need to look into that.
Well it's past noon, raining and 32.8F I am not holding out for 50F nor is last nights snow going to melt much. A refreeze to glaciated tonight and tomorrow stays below freezing. Still waiting for my first 50F.
3" of snow last night. Actually there could have been a bit more because it was still snowing when I went to bed and it was raining when I woke up and still almost 3"
Wet snow and 32.2F rain is destroying the birch. Those trees seem to have elastic memories so if the snow melts quickly they will be okay... I think...
By the way this winter we had overwintering Bluebirds. Lots of them. There is one on the apple tree in the picture.
Birch destroyer last night. Rain this morning is making it worse. Wish I could get the warm air up here fast.
3" last night 32.1F light rain now
Dirt roads are very slippery and the town can't plow with the mud. The models saw this . I am surprised there was no WWA.
31.8F light snow. 2.5" if I measure on old snow. 2" if I measure on vars as the first hour didn't really stick much. Now The question will be do I get stuck in the '30s or low 40s tomorrow or does the warm front make it up here for a couple of hours to melt this mess?
Lots of weather today. I hope the tornadoes that form will miss towns and cities.
On the cold side of things the models seem to be more bullish for a period of accumulating snow up here. Gray doesn't even have me in a Hazardous Weather Outlook area. Snow map says less than an inch. I'm 39/14F right now This could be a sneaky event this evening. Just cold rain tomorrow. CAD will win and my string of no 50F this year will continue. So close but so far.
I'm watching this from afar in NH. I can not remember the last "high" risk. 2 questions. The next convective outlook would come out in 6 hours, right? My second questions is do they ever change convective outlooks with any special outlooks? I know the discussions come out more often.
