It's snowing up in the 'Daks too. Whiteface has posted a couple of great April pow shots and making a point of being the only ski area open in NY to take advantage of the snow falling today.

The text is too small to read on the twitter images, but the forecasts for the following day were printed on the national maps... "For eastern Pennsylvania, partly cloudy, preceded by light rain this afternoon and to-night in extreme south portion; Saturday fair with slowly rising temperature; fresh north wind." Then, "For western Pennsylvania, partly cloudy to-night, heavy frost in south portion if weather clears; Saturday fair with slowing rising temperature." Seems like ye olde mets were bitten by the last-minute north trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April looks like it will be one of the highest ranking cold departure months of the 2010's in the US. It has been running so far in the direction of record warmth that this month was a real outlier. The only other 2010's month to rank in the top 20 coldest was November 2014. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/summary-info/national/201411 During November, the average contiguous U.S. temperature was 39.3°F, which is 2.4°F below the 20th century average. This ranked as the 16th coldest November in the 1895-2014 record, and was the coldest November since 2000. 16th coldest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah today looks like the last cool day until the Fall. After the heat this week, the cooldown will only take us down to near 70 for highs which is beautiful Spring weather. Very glad that today is the end of the chilly weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got an oil delivery right before the power went out for 5 1/2 days in early March that should have been enough to get us through this season and into next November.

We had a very high bill from mid-December into mid-January. Caught some big savings through February. Then a quick pick up in demand for March and April. Welcome to the 2010's.

Latest bloom I can remember in awhile too. Dogwoods have barely produced buds, and overall still a lot of brown considering it's May 1st tomorrow.

I have a 330 gallon tank, got a delivery on 3/10 and have between a 1/2 and 3/4s. Do you use it for hot water too? I have an electric water heater.

After 22 years in the house we generally have a pretty good idea of how much it's going to take but the cold April buggered that all up. 4 hours ago, JerseyWx said: Yeah I hear ya man.

Yeah this extended stick season is frustrating but it has made for some good mtn biking with great, long sight lines in the woods. 3 hours ago, IrishRob17 said: What size is your tank?

It's not about how big the tank is because we never fill it anymore, not really sure how sound it is having been underground for over 30 years now. shhhh No just for heat, electric hot water heater here too. Like I said above, we're usually pretty good at getting it right and if it had warmed up "on schedule" we'd have been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
