  ...no one person in particular mind you ... lol

I just have a cataclysmic sense, like it is pending, global in scale - there are ...unnerving things going on that interestingly enough, no one in here talks about.   interesting.   closed circuit for a social media depot, I'll tell you that.  

sooooo, climate change?

The delusion in this place is amazing. Wonder if we could upload this place into the AI overlords and have them psycho analyze us all. 

we don’t need no stinking’ AI, we got Tip to psycho analyze us on the regular

Yes, but our oaks have zero leaves, and only some maples have the very start of some very small leaves. The flowering trees are flowering.  But Looking at the landscape…it’s 90 plus percent bare still. Another day or two of warmth will help more, but the incoming cool unfortunately will slow things down fast. 

We go through this every spring. DIT thinks leaf out is when there is a hint of green on the trees. the rest of us think of leaf out when there are actual leaves on the trees.

lol at needing/using a/c when highs are in the 70s and drops to the 50s at night. Sounds like some need to drop some excess fattiness.

when he is old and frail, he is going to have to call some local handyman to come install his window ACs.

Kevin: need to install window units, please come this week

Handyman: huh? Hey old man, it’s April 10^th. you don’t need it yet.

Handyman hangs up and says to himself, man, that guy has severe dementia.

Figured soil temps up here would be just about right. But was definitely concerned about Stein 

you want soil temps to be 50+. like DIT said, don't do anything until after the forsythias bloom,

I don't understand why folks can't grasp the fact that a mere "30% chance of showers" in the p&c will trigger the rain icon in the graphics. It's really not complicated at all.

IT'S GOING TO RAIN ALL DAY! WEEKEND RUINED!1!111!!

April oaks dropping leaves all over the lawn

that is infuriating. i have more oak leaves on my lawn today than i had last fall. the trees are naked, but the stupid wind keeps blowing them out of the woods

Euro AI like Tuesday for big warmth and that’s about it.

installs cancel?

lawn is waking up and going green. will be raking out the beds and towing the lawn sweeper around this weekend. Tractor oil change/maintenance done. ready to rock and roll!

I prefer to remain non-confrontational... heh

Having said that, he did say, "March finished +4 "  

I'm not sure where he was looking -

I could see that happening though because a theme I've been playing with in my posts is that we get modestly warmer than normal monthly means out of colder looking synoptic constructs.   It's one of those obfuscating charms of CC.   

It makes sense.  If the d(T) is always positive, that means we're on a slope, so the same synoptic conditions should register at least decimals warmer than the last incarnation.  

It may be a straw man argument at this point, but I do sense that people rely a bit too much on the old adage, "CC doesn't make it warm today"   .... noooo, buuuut, it does mean one should expect it to be warmer than the last time.  It's just another subversion thing people that know better than to deny, but can't stand the truth.

no one is arguing that it wasn't warmer than normal. my post was simply to argue that this early spring so far has NOT been warmer ("better" in his words) based on the March average this year vs last.

I dunno Tip. These doors happen with such regularity because without them our spring climo in the seacoast region would be like Philly otherwise….it really is just that. 

We have a three day BN interlude and then it’s back to solidly AN.

March finished +4

If April matches—which looks doable given the persistence and latest ensemble guidance—  this early spring will much better than last, or any of recent memory…

i dunno man, this March (37.0) was much cooler than last March (38.1). will be interesting to see the temp comparison after April

If you looked hard enough I bet you could actually see the grass growing today.

funny you say that. I was gone most of the day today, when I got home it sure looked like the grass got a lot greener, and even the forsythia are starting to bud and flower

At least we may get a 2am high while we’re in REM sleep. 

my high for yesterday was at midnight. of course that will probably be the high for today as well.

Clear out just in time to radiate tonight ahead of the backdoor tomorrow morning.

Yeah got up to 53 here with very little sun. nice day said no one ever

rocketing all the way up to 49, still socked in the clouds but it is brightening a tad. i am sure it will turn into a "nice day" right around sunset.

33 degrees with occasional snow/sleet/rain.

napril indeed.
