The tradition continues that it never snows the last week of February. It's worse than the last week of December.

 

Usually false hope for the spring weenies. Then get smacked in the face several times March and April with some nutty up and down temperatures /precip. Then summer kicks in permanently and we're screwed getting baked temperature-wise till the count down to Autumn begins again. Rinse, repeat...

"Worst hobby ever" per Ji.

With today's rainfall, the drought should be over.

Still some mounds in parking lots and may make it through the weekend w/highs in the 30s. After that, probably on life support/hospice... 

54F/Cloudy

yeah right.  Goading me again LOL. All this rain did is pollute the living hell out of the streams with salt water runoff. The trout are literally dying of thirst the water is so salty. No significant rains or snow events for the next two weeks does not bode well for any type of drought relief.  This is the yellowest I have ever seen the grass at this time of the year- usually is it is greening up real nice. Hell my pussy willow will not evenbloom- the bees are going to die off.

It was on this day in 2025 that we first heard of thirsty trout

The land in the back where all the geese are is where Lansdale Farmers market is held on weekends even during the Winter. I imagine there's leftover food and stuff around on the ground and the geese sure as hell know where to go...

There's hardly any trout in the streams right now, they've been all fished out. However opening day is April 5th so they should be starting to stock shortly...

Cooler today with temperatures closer to normal for the end of February. A few degrees above normal tomorrow before we fall too much below normal temperatures for both Sunday and Monday. Sunday will struggle to freezing across the higher ridges. Some good news in the forecast for next week...we start a slow moderating trend, but some much needed significant rains look increasingly likely for the mid-week period. We are running well below normal in precipitation so any rain would be most welcome.

49F, Partly sunny, slight breeze...nice.

Blood moon coming up:

March 13-14: Total lunar eclipse

The first total lunar eclipse since 2022 will cause the moon to turn red on the night of March 13-14 during one of the top astronomy events of the year. This event, caused when the sun, Earth and moon align, is the first of two in 2025, although it will be the only lunar eclipse visible across the United States and Canada.

Many people will need to lose some sleep to witness the spectacle, as the total eclipse will unfold between 2:26 a.m. EDT and 3:31 a.m. EDT. Even if it is partly to mostly cloudy, just a few breaks in the clouds will be needed over the course of the 65-minute event to catch a glimpse of the eclipsed moon.

This type of eclipse is sometimes referred to as a Blood Moon, as the moon often turns red during the height of the eclipse. The color can be traced back to Earth as light passing through the planet's atmosphere is distorted, shifting to orange or red before being cast on the moon.

Next wednesday rains/t storms  could  place a significant dent into the drought conditions. Highs near 60+ with moderate to heavy rains will help melt the soil horizons frozen conditions quickly and get some much needed water through to the root structures of the trees and plants for budding and leafing out in mid April.  Believe me, this is a multi billion dollar rain event for farmers and landscapers. Lets hope it comes to fruition and we just don't get burned with another .25 in light rain/drizzle event

We should start a thread looks like a 984 mb low in the Ohio Valley wind rain severe thunderstorms 2-3” of rain and 1-2’ of snow in northwest flank.

why not we got nothing to lose at this point.  Love to see the secondary LP form at the BM and smack us with a anafront MIller B storm event of 4-6+ inch of wetsnow if it would stall out.  Just wishful thinking.
