I do remember the vet telling me that we need to give the dog the anti-tick medication straight through December and start up again in March. I always thought it seemed excessive but don't believe that anymore for sure. I mean there's still patchy snow/ice cover in the woods around here even in the valley (aside from the now 3-5" that's still left from the last storm). It's 100% snow cover from like 1,200ft and higher too. Last year I got 4 on me and my girlfriend had 3.. there was almost full cover except for a few bare spots.. was also in the upper 20's that day.. so glad they were just crawling and didnt bury themselves in us.. no idea where they all came from must have went through a bunch somewhere on the trail we were on...

ORH_wxman Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 There might be more than one chance in the early April period....that is a beast of a block. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbenedet Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Still thinking early next week is a northern mid Atlantic, extreme southern New England event. I actually favor Long Island on south for best dynamics. Blocking is quite significant around that timeframe. Better than 50% chance it ends up a mostly sunny day up here...

Chipmunks are hard to find lately. Rabbits ebb and flow. I have never seen a bobcat but my wife and daughter saw two in our yard around a year ago. coyotes used to be pretty routine but rare here now it seems. we had a bear rip off a light fixture off the back of our house a week or so ago trying to get to a bird feeder. We get serenaded every year by at least one coyote family - pups singing high-end soprano in May, descending to near the adults' alto by September. Last June they were close enough that we could hear their footsteps rustling the leaves. Looks like things could get interesting here Sunday-Monday. Steve said "fir flattener" but I hope not. Had one of those 19 years ago in late March - 16" paste that left Christmas trees scattered about the ground. Maybe a quarter of the fir - most abundant tree on our woodlot - had their tops snapped off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the pattern may favor something coming up in the next week or 2 ( and I know its a stretch with where we are in the time of year ).

Other than that, you now have climo, a September equivalent sun angle and length of day working overtime against you.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just speaking to the operational Euro's 00z 03/26/2020 solution ... I thought the block looked less... D-7-10 clearly shows that collapsing into the west Atlantic basin perennial ridge...BUT, there is a better homage to a +PNAP and cold loading into SE Canada, too ...so, perhaps either way. The GGEM was also looking rather betrayed with the scale-degree of NAO too... heh. The other thing I'm thinking, even for the Euro ...all these guidance' are going to prove again that they suffer sun-normalization at a hemispheric scale ... can't be avoided given the current state of tech art in modeling and the fact that it's after the Equinox. The modulation in the physics is an 'acceleration' of sort, albeit subtle... it is a stalker to cold solutions. I have seen countless D 9 deep 500 mb solutions at this time of year, that look like an assumption of a deeper surface evolution would be fine. But what ends up happening is strong mid level anomaly with weaker pressure responses underneath... kind of grapple showers in the hills and cool rains showers under pan-cake shallow toppers. What happens is the baroclinicity gets normalized by punishing irradiance in the days leading. Not sure why the models don't seem to handle this kind of "synergistic" reduction in the barclinicity in spring so well, but even here, ...that deep trough the Euro engineers ends up with a broad, but less deep low comparatively... That's sort of a hint some of this is happening- That all said...we've had blizzards in early April... not discounting that climo either ... It's really like everything, it's a processes of dwindling probabilities for returns at this time of year...and if something does happen in early April, it just means that the anomaly was sufficient to offset seasonal forcing - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Nice view of the remaining snow cover right now. We are still covered but it's starting to go quick. That 6" has held on pretty well for time of year all things considered. Probably disappears in the sunny spots today though. It is blindingly bright outside. Hard to even look outside without sunglasses ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 We'll probably be back to the pre-storm 10" by this evening, but that's near-glacier in composition with 5"+ LE. Melting the 0.83" from the early week event was easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
