RedSky Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Good winter, but short of historic. 78, 96, 02, 10....yeah. I think we have to get well over 50" (more than twice normal) for this area to put it in the historic category. Meh I am 3" shy of 2003 and a much colder winter with longer snow cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 this has got to be a top ten winter for Trenton or close. I'm close to 20 inches above normal despite 6.5" being the largest snowfall. pretty remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm close to 20 inches above normal despite 6.5" being the largest snowfall. pretty remarkable. A cursory glance suggests a rank of 14th, going by the old coop, old NWS office, and Ewing readings.

Harbourton Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 MT Holly has me for a low of 22 on Sunday and Monday nights - not too shabby for this time of year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Right after the first day of Spring, I of course catch a cold/flu-thing with 99-101 fevers. Ugh, I guess this is what I get for only getting sick once this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Cloudy 32, feeling a little raw. Will we see the sun soon? My banter is Spring is my least favorite time of the year, although I could never give up living here. I prefer to experience all 4 seasons. Usually by mid-late April my mind and body has accepted the change. I love summer but hate high dew points and bugs. Getting anxious to plot out the garden and get planting.

The Iceman Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thursday is looking decently interesting for the first thunderstorms of spring. Instability will be an issue but I think there's a decent chance of at least some thunder. Lots of shear associated with the system though, so if there is even a little bit of instability, we could see some severe gusts. Something to watch at least.

RedSky Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Snow still on the front lawn in what seems like eternal winter. Found a few crocus sprouts .5" out of the ground, so crocus blooms will be in APRIL thats nuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Snow still on the front lawn in what seems like eternal winter. Found a few crocus sprouts .5" out of the ground, so crocus blooms will be in APRIL thats nuts! Here in Media my crocuses are in full bloom yellow... my house faces South-southeast. snow cover zero left here in Media Delaware County.. I think our chances of a freeze when things do get green around here are very high with all this dry cold air hanging around and also since the Great Lakes are still frozen. Cold air is only a NW wind away!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Freezes are (or at least, used to be) normal in April. Average last freeze: PHL - April 2nd ILG - April 7th ABE - April 23rd MIV - April 25th ACY - April 25th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmorninglight Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hard to believe a 23 day difference between ACY and PHL. Is it UHI or pine barrens desert effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hard to believe a 23 day difference between ACY and PHL. Is it UHI or pine barrens desert effect? Both, though ABE is pretty close to ACY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks Ray and Wayne. Yes south of the cape may canal is its own climate zone.

Absolute Humidity Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Impressive stat uncle posted that NYC is 1.3" shy of it's snow total after Jan 15th 1978, the other notoriously back loaded winter Not anymore, the being shy part that is. Today Upton officially increased Central Parks seasonal snowfall by 3.3" of which 2.8" fell after January 15th making 2015 the greatest comeback winter of all time for that location. The increase officially brings the park at 50.3" of snowfall for the 2014/2015 season, back to back 50" year snowfalls again, incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"mid-winter scene" with a deep snowpack blanket, occasionally interrupted by a meandering babbling brook... Couldn't have been any more serene!
