1/2” so far today, after 1/2” yesterday. closing in on 4” MTD.

Saturday was decent here, yesterday rain all day. Lovely weekend, raining pretty good this morning, but it appears to be getting brighter out

filtered sun and 65 degrees. Banged out 4 hours of yard work, got a little sweaty. no complaints here, and it’s now beer-thirty.

Home Davis hit 41 for the low, great temps for working outside in my opinion.

today will be perfect. I’m planning on banging out a whole bunch of yard work. hardest part will be not getting into the beers too early

Boundary is through here. Skies are mostly clear, wind has picked up, and dews are dropping.

it took a while longer, but the front finally rolled through here, dews dropping nicely, although not as quick as DIT's jorts

MHT 95°

can confirm that it is sweltering here

92/69 here. it is gross outside. everyone at work is bitching about it. every. single. person.

i love the magical dewpoint in Tolland, CT. meanwhile here in the real world the DP has not gone above 52

1.2” yesterday, 2.6” MTD

i would love to get 2" of rain, but want no part of 4" (insert  joke here).     too much at one time

  ...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?

Idk what came through here, but dews have absolutely crashed and it feels frigid with the breeze.

dew at my place dropped steadily after 4pm and bottomed out at around 9pm on a N/NE breeze

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!!

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
