Got a bit more graupel/rain. low-altitude CAPE exists. In a recent video by Convective Chronicles (youtube) low-altitude CAPE analysis or short-term forecast is quite effective at identifying areas of tornadoes. And of course, the same exact thing low-altitude CAPE is the reason lake effect snow gets going, that is, adequate updrafts in the winter.

weatherbo Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 A clear and calm 27... beautiful view the moon and venus in the west sky tonight as the northern lights begin to faintly dance around. Smell of wood smoke and the sound of distant coyotes yippin. Doesn't get much better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Incredible light show tonight. Haven't seen pulsating auroras since the early 2000s. Was just about as cool as seeing that total eclipse back in '17. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool one today with a high of 34 forecast but at least the uprising and violence in the coop is under control now that the ladies are able to roam, scratch around, eat worms. Thankfully they'll shit more outside too. winter coop duty- not fun. remaining snowpack Does your ground freeze with all that snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years it’s feet thick. Just depends when the deep snow hits. There are weight and speed restrictions on the county roads now for the deep frost but even that isn’t too deep this year with the mild winter and warmth early.

Chinook Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Alright, I'm complaining. 40 degrees and cloudy is stinking December. You know what else. It's just cloudy, like really cloudy. I heard there were aurora borealis all over the place because of a geomagnetic storm and it's just cloudy. Maybe I'll look on the bright side. Not too many bugs yet.
