Damage In Tolland Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 March 14th... snow drops have gone by, crocuses are going full tilt, daffodils coming up, tulips coming up, hostas just starting to emerge, various small shrubs with hints of new growth, bitten by a mosquito on the 13th, Black Bear chillin' in the yard early this morning, robins galore, a few peepers were heard last evening. All this is a little much for March 14th! Some are fighting reality..and calling us liars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Some are fighting reality..and calling us liars This wx is just amazing from a met standpoint. I don't really like it in March (not that it is bad, I would just prefer cold/snow forever) But if you sit back and take a broad, long view of it...it is just "dumb founding". Incredible, jaw dropping, call it what you will. Fire departments are gonna be busy. Oh, and Matt Noyes spoke at my school yesterday. No one thought to tell me about it until today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstorm Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Folks, I'm not sure if there's any other way to describe it. The 10 day period beginning this past Monday and lasting through next Thursday (at least) is without a doubt the longest duration, most impressive string of T Anoms - warm or cold - over a huge area that I have ever witnessed... north of Atlanta clear to the Canadian border and beyond is at least +15 - and in some cases +30+!!! - and this goes all the way west to the Continental Divide. Just an absolute TIZZORCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Lyons is up in Walden at 2,230ft and you'd be surprised how often it snow up there. Down here at 1,100ft its down to 39F and raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I concur! you have integrity. Thanks.the bet is April 15 th, thanks Herb No problem...what is the criteria that you guys are using? Are we talking just the leaf buds being out or are we talking full-sized leaves? I'm also assuming this includes trees, shrubs and other forms of perennial growth. I've attached 3 pictures from the Woodford, VT Webcam from a time lapse project that I'm working on showing bare trees, leaves budding and full leaves. If the bet is for leaves fully out, I would think you're looking for #3, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Honestly the only thing I don't like about this wx in March is my school sucks. LOL, it can go from 60F and freezing in one room to 80F and hot in the next even on dry 60F days like today. It's extremely annoying. But otherwise, its great.

It's nice to see folks slowly coming around to this idea Not sure if I am totally on the "Warm March Forever" bandwagon... I tend to argue the skeptic's perspective when it comes to AGW because it gets to the heart of the science behind the debate - as an aside, I do this even though I wholeheartedly support sustainable energy, less emissions, etc. ... those are sll good for the planet and our sustainability regardless of implications on AGW. However, it is getting harder and harder to hold my ground in the climate debate - even though I know no event or warm spell means jack sh*t either way - it's tough to dismiss it outright. /rant, feel free to move to CC...

Spring in March doesn't preclude a freak snowstorm..just like spring in October doesn't either.as we just witnessed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Spring in March doesn't preclude a freak snowstorm..just like spring in October doesn't either.as we just witnessed So I don't get your point. March is not a month where only freak storms occur. We have had many Nina March where they tend to not be snowy. This started in 2008 when the Nina regime began. In March 2010 we had an El Nino, but because the -NAO was so strong..we were about 0.5C off from getting another Dec 1992. Pretty soon we will have Decembers that are more closer to normal or a bit below..and March will have more winter. Remember this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
