Visible all the way from coast today, too.  Rare to have this much cloud cover and ull visibility from all directions.

Signs that we break this pattern post day 10

Pattern change is always 10 days away!  I'm done with this winter, err, spring.  We're just chasing fantasy land wx indefinitely. 

Did I do that right?

[radarman]

Good day to have a brush fire before the burn bans start.  Otherwise fairly unpleasant.

Not too bad here.  Raw but so far dry.   The temps kept the black flies at bay walking the course

Yeah dry anyways. That’s funny you guys have black flies. We don’t have that here.

They are so bad in May.  Makes it hard to be outdoors depending on wx.     The we get mosquitoes. Then deer flies. 

[Typhoon Tip]

They're probably just gnats ...

Populous seemed to start referring to general gnat nuisance as black flies some 20 years ago and it's not always the case. There are a lot of black flies, too ... but there are bigger populations of different gnats.  Those swarms that make little personally owned clouds that follow you around behind your head when your walking in spring and early summer are likely other gnat species.  They like sometimes rattle around the orifice of your ear opening?  Could be a black fly, but its just as likely harmless albeit annoying gnats.

What I hate are those dear fly that do blood recons in dive bombing mobius loops

Been wet and cold with probably 5” on rain in the lowland home front. Lawns are green though.

Look at that 1980s standardized ecologically toxic lawn...  lol -

been reading about how bad those are for the environment.  Interesting

We use only organic product, bone meal, etc. I know what you mean though, but in suburbia I’ll take a nice green lawn for four or five months.

44F  Light rain.  As of 4pm it is snowing above 3500 in the Whites.  

[CoastalWx]

Man PWM area is washed away on models. Lava rock gonna be down to bedrock Monday morning.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Why does my weather station update to Wunderground when I set it up, but then hasn’t updated again, but it says it’s online?

These are the rainers where someone is like “Stein here, only 2.18 but models had 4.5.  What happened?”

Tblizz will get 1.6” and claim Stein, while Lavarock claims meh, but then gets 6”.

No mention of thunder from Wiz? Looks like they’ll be some. Good winds too.

Yeah it's not me necessarily either.  As in not my credit. 

I was reading this whole thing about how they create these ecological islands of starvation for a lot of species that are already in trouble because of climate change -related population destabilization. From flowering species to pollenating insects, flora and fauna. 

So I guess the new thing is rock gardens with flowering plant types interspersed ...  

The focus wasn't the fertilization chemistry so much, but fertilizer is a whole nother problem.  Yup.   The era of Roundup is basically archaic and actually just dumb in any generation.  

I suppose it all stands to reason. I mean when we peer over an untouched wilderness scape,  we don't see that look for a reason.  Diversity = health in the ecology.

I was thinking about this some days ago then it seemed like the signal weakened. Just looked at the 18z NAM...good call, NAM has some decent elevated CAPE and even a couple hundred J of MLCAPE move through...could help with drawing down some stronger winds.

Temperatures are going to be well into the 40's 

Models are persistent in showing moderate to
heavy snowfall across the higher terrain of west and north central
U.P. Sunday night through Monday. While the 82 inches of snow the
NAM has forecast over the Porkies over the next 60 hours is clearly
over done, it is worth noting how anomalous and extreme some of the
model solutions are spanning the next couple of days. When all is
said and done, snow totals from Gogebic/Ontonagon counties over to
the high terrain of Baraga and Marquette counties will likely be in
the 1-2 foot range with some locations topping 2 feet

 

 

Nam showing 82 . I think it did that in NEMO lol

Nailed it.

Plus, lawns absorb 0 carbon and mowers emit a relative f-ton.

I wish more people would work towards  grass-free yards. Rock or woodchip-based with native flowering, food-producing, or carbon-storing species throughout.

It’s updating now, but at kind of long intervals, I thought it was supposed to be every few seconds? How do I add everyone?
