gravitylover Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 It looks like tomorrow may get into the mid 50's and so will Friday. As long as it stays dry tomorrow, and it looks like it will, that will feel pretty good. Friday looks like a washout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 What a nice day up here in Julian land. Not much snow left here, pretty surprising considering how much there us in CT. Yup the moths came out at my place a few days ago, so did the spider crickets 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touched 59F but clouds started thickening up before we could manage 60 in my hood. Looks like POU did it anyway. I took the convertible for first topless spin of the year. Roads are still pretty grody though so I think I may have jumped the gun... salt and sand spray on designo leather ftl. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the spray from melting snow was pretty significant, used a bunch of wiper fluid today. Heh, brand new tires on warm pavement on some of your local twisties was a bunch of fun today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 I saw 70 on the dashboard this afternoon, actually I saw 68-69 it was my wife that saw it hit 70, in Danbury. It's awfully nice out there right now, too bad the woods are a total mudpit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 Yeah that was the real deal last night. I had all of the gutters overflowing for a while there. Now the yard is a muck pit. I had to move my car out of the driveway yesterday afternoon and put it out by the street on the front of the lawn where i carved out a parking area a few years ago. As the ground finished thawing during the day and the snowbank melted out it sunk a little bit, with all of that rain it sunk in about 4" and I'm going to have to tow it out this morning. It is completely high centered from one end to the other as it only has 4.5" of clearance. Maybe after another cup of coffee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Looks like today I’ll lose the last of the snow in my yard, a shaded spot along the wood line that is always the last to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I still have a few spots in the deep shade with snow that may last a couple of more days. I officially called an end to my snow cover on the 13th making March 1 through the 12th my longest stretch of continuous snow cover this season. 39.1 inches for the season now and 36 days of snow cover. The biggest snows of the season 10 inches on November 15-16 and 8.1 inches on March 3. Throw in the 1.8 inches on March 1 and the 3.5 on March 2nd and do the math, that's a really bad stretch from November 17th to February 28th. Despite this mornings low of 19.6° the rest of March looks tame and April will usually deliver at least one measurable event but who knows this year, so my early grade is a D-.

I was joking about the F- as compared to some predictions this year which were in hindsight ridiculous. A late season storm that would bring the seasonal near our average of 50 would get it to a D. Only 36 days of snow cover makes a passing grade impossible this year, even if we see an April 6, 1982 repeat this year followed by a May 9-10 1977 replay. So let it be written, so let it be done.

Juliancolton Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Even as we forge ahead into the meat of meteorological spring, the winter pattern of alternating cold and rainstorms appears to continue. Thursday night could be a real deluge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 D-. Too much wasted cold, too much ice and sleet, too much rain, rotten "snowcover" days and only 30" of total frozen precip. I'd give it an F but it was certainly more wintry than 11/12 which was the recent benchmark for dud winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
