dendrite

A nice one, but below normal yet again. We’ve lowered our standards, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Speaking of 1975...the 70s are becoming weather of yore. Warm days, frigid nights, big ranges, long dry stretches, low QPF. I’d take the cold mornings if I could get numerous 60s/70 during the day.

MEX has a min of 19° for CON for Thu 4/23. That would break the record of 20° from 1975. When we’re threatening record low mins in this era you know you’re in a cold pattern.

It feels like it’s been March since mid December.

Sounds epic for late April down there. Meanwhile, 44 years ago tomorrow we were in the mid 90s...probably the most brutal Boston Marathon ever.

So here we are on 4/18 and I have yet to hit 60F this month. I had a 60.0F on 3/20 although if you did ASOS 5-min averaging on my data my high would've been below 60F that day. That would push me back to 66.7F on 3/9 as my last day with a high above 60F. Just cheating and glancing at MOS, I could go without 60F for the entire extended period...

A month of April here without 60F would be lol worthy. I'm pretty sure Kevin cursed this spring with his early torch talk.

Maybe snow right into June?

44F and getting some sun now. 50s tomorrow seem like a major win

Almost everything we got has now vaporized. Let’s get some sun now and salvage some of the day. Firepit weekend.

31.9° -SN Getting some light accums, but nothing like down there.

Whitening up here. Huge aggregates...not the wet clumpy kind either. The dendritic ones that clump together from their feathery ends.

Looks like that would be the record latest daily amount for the season then.

Excuses?

-SN has started. Man...you guys have been so shutout this winter that you forgot how to post in an obs thread.

Virga storm here. Dendy happy too.

I missed both storms. #lucky

Still think someone in Mass jacks...Hubby maybe? If he's 1 you're like 1a. Like a Scottie Pippen to Michael Jordan.

I said Pike-north, but I really meant your area-north...didn't know you were that sensitive about it.

Should be a nice high terrain interior Mass jack. Looks a tick warmer/north than 00z, but it only really affects those on the southern fringe. Looks good Pike-north for a hefty thump. Still thankfully a low QPF event up here.

25.7°. Never really radiated here either. The comfrey took a hit.

Probably the high terrain...AFN/Temple/New Ips/Newbury but yeah...another tick or two and I’m getting an unpleasant surprise Sat morning.

Yikes. GFS is getting the 0.50” line well into Merrimack county. Keep that south.

Man...all of you guys getting trees cut down and I can't get a friggin delivery of wood chips up here from Chip Drop going back to last fall.

Winter 2019-20 salvaged?
