Models had it as an inv trough so I wouldn't rule out a steady band of precip that could be snow for someone in the higher elevations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it looks like convective city with total-totals in the mid-50s...temps in the 40s and low 50s but quickly falling when the precipitation moves in.

ski MRG Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 OK, on the floor of the HV in the shadow of the Catskills and even here there is minimal leafage. Certainly much more spring-like down here but even at this low elevation it is brisk with the wind. Easter like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 sounds like a messenger accumulation drive Yup, just checking up on these posts of mid summer blooms from Blizz and LL. As I thought total exaggerations. Just typical early spring stirrings even here in the torchy HV. Nice to see some snow flying on the way down.

It has been very much warmer than normal for a long period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we're not getting full leaf out like Kev claims but following the heat wave, we were a solid 7 weeks ahead of schedule without a doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah, we're not getting full leaf out like Kev claims but following the heat wave, we were a solid 7 weeks ahead of schedule without a doubt Things have slowed down considerably, but I feel like we are close to where we were in April 2010. Still considerably ahead of normal. If we warm for a couple of days next week...might give it another boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we warm for a couple of days next week...might give it another boost. I was in the Bronx last night for Passover, and there were some maple trees leafed out. All of the trees have their flowers/buds in Westchester and small bushes like Privet hedges are leafed out. Magnolias are also past peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been very much warmer than normal for a long period of time. I don't know...up here I feel like we were greener 2 weeks ago. Absolutely nothing has changed since that heat wave even with 45-day means well above normal. Folks also have to realize that soil moisture has a lot to do with it, and with rivers running near all-time lows, the bone dry ground may actually be retarding green up and negating the warmer temps.

CoastalWx Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 We'll have to watch how much of a push that warmer air will have into the northeast. There's a chance it may only make a brief appearance..or barely make it at all. Then maybe front slows and we actually could get rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Weeklies are actually torch fail. I haven't looked much over the last week, but they have a nice pocket of below normal heights over us..lol.

CoastalWx Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Just ride Don S..He's hot and he's talking torch Depends where in the east. He was a little too aggressive for this area in his update back in mid March so the pattern isn't completely stable right now. All I'm saying is that I don't see the torch signals like we had back in March. I think for our area specifically...it's not concrete. I actually hope we do torch bcause the last thing I want to see are hippies throwing frisbees and playing hacky sack in the MA while it's raw here. It certainly does not look cold to me, but it doesn't look very torchy to me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what you do not want to see at the end of April and early May. Why not? We've had below normal heights the past week or so, and it's been beautiful every day in Westchester. 55-60F highs with dewpoints in the 20s and nights getting into the mid 30s, perfect cool weather for tennis and hiking but not so cold that I can't work in my garden and plant early-season crops. I don't know about anyone else, but I enjoy spring in spring, not July in March, and I'm loving the crisp weather lately. A few days with light rain this week to green up the landscape would be welcome even if temperatures are stubborn and remain in the 40s (high terrain) and low 50s (coastal plain). I don't see what everyone is complaining about...it's seasonable and delightful lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
