  1. It seems like our window for climbing into the 70s is closing. Maybe a brief shot of mugginess just before the fropa.
  2. There was nothing left OTG here by around 8. The cocorahs observer down the road logged 0.7", so I guess I'll use that for my records.
  3. Looking forward to apologies from everyone who rushed to blame "careless city people"... I have no idea if there's any way to prevent a train from doing that or even recognize that it's happening in real-time. It stinks though. Some of my favorite trails will probably be closed for a good long while.
  4. Jeez, this is bonkers (photo by Dave Rocco on facebook)
  5. Wow, looks like it's almost in the same spot as the Sugarloaf fire last fall. Ugh...
  6. 71/28 with a nice SW12 G18 breeze. Good a time as any to burn that big old pile of brush out back, wouldn't you say?
  7. Same here. As far as I'm aware, it was the first frozen precip here since the Feb 12th front end "thump". Agree that the mud is a major issue this year. I'm sure in 12 weeks we'll be talking about stunted lawns and low reservoir levels, but for now the world is our swamp.
  8. People will deny and mock the seriousness of the virus situation until either 1) things get so bad that nobody bothers to hold them accountable, or 2) our counter-measures are effective at averting disaster and they can say they were right all along. Deniers of all ilks have nothing to lose.
  9. 20 SECS? Bold call, hope it verifies.
  10. Rain is moving in way earlier than I expected/hoped. Urgh...
  11. It's been quite blustery up here today, which took the edge off the warm and sunny angle.
  12. Well that's the annoying thing, you just know we'll all get our April 5th 4.8", just to nudge us closer to average. If I have to suffer through a winter like this, I want the stats to back it up.
  13. You know the worst part about winters like this? You can't just put off yardwork until the spring because it's always the spring. There's just no excuse to procrastinate.
  14. I like variety. A significant storm, a few moderate storms, and then several pack fresheners. Maybe like 18" (which is as big a storm as one needs, although I know I'll get tarred and feathered for that), four x 6", nine x 2".
  15. Stockpiling toasters now, just in case we make it three in a row next year.
  16. Not even a flake. I'm starting to get the feeling this winter sucks a little.
  17. For me, this winter sealed it up, wrapped it, and tied it with a bow: snow before December 5th is an inexorable, ineluctable curse. Avoid at all costs.
  18. This is part of the reason why, even as a lifelong fan of science, I'll always advocate for Fahrenheit in the mid-latitudes. 0F and 100F are both nearly perfect benchmarks by which you can compare the sensible perceptions of seasons.
  19. Like Rob, my last such season was 16-17, so not terribly long ago.
  20. It's still pretty breezy here, so temp's dropping at a snail's pace... only 8F currently. The HRRR holds that winds will go dead, or close to it, by 2 am. With sunrise before 7 now, that wouldn't leave a ton of wiggle room in the quest for <0F. It's amazing how some years I need everything to go right for a subzero low, and in others they're a dime a dozen. I think I was pushing 20 nights below zero in 14-15.
  21. Under-reporting will have been a big issue with this event because of the rapid changeover at possibly the most inopportune time of the day... 1-4 am. Most people didn't measure until 6 or 7 am, according to the PNS reports.
  22. You should know me better than that Luckily it changed over by 1:30, which isn't too bad. I've stayed up later than that for Euro runs and election results.
