Steiner with just over half inch here. Much more just to my south again like earlier this week. Good for the lawn at least. Will need rain later this week hopefully. 

Doesn’t look like much

We’ll get some hopefully but he may be settling in.  Can feel those webbed hands wrapped around me.

He’s been here since last fall but his hands weren’t wrapped tightly around necks .. they’re starting to get stronger and squeezing harder as we gets his webb’s under him

Wind whistling through those AC units you installed yesterday?

We must be 2-3 weeks ahead of you or so . Full leaf out 

New Haven's like a month ahead of that.  From my dash cam on Friday. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

40F attm.  Had to close windows during the night.  
Upcoming week looks splendid 

[tamarack]

Red and silver maples in full flower, also elms, and long catkins on the aspen.  Otherwise, it's stick season still.

Another 0.21" overnight, will report multi-day total of 1.10" for 25-27 after 2 days at Pittston Farm (where there were still patches of snow in the woods, not unusual for late April).

Oaks vs Norways though. Apples to oranges. 

[CoastalWx]

45 for the low and sunny now. But that won’t last.

 

Oaks are so far ahead of normal it seems. Even my friend in Exeter NH is mowing.

 Norways are almost full leaf out.

My pawpaws are typically mid May and they’re starting to push bud. The tulip poplar is breaking bud as well. Mon-Tue should get everything into high gear. Red maples started flowering a week ago. 

4” soil hit 54° yesterday and 8” 52°. So we’re getting to that mid 50s threshold for the pawpaws. Unfortunately I don’t see many bulging flower buds and I was hoping for a big year from a few trees this season. Maybe the -14° damaged some buds? 

[dendrite]

42° this morn after 1.13” rain.

Ha ha...  c'mon, man - can we give it just a day?    We just got 1.25" yesterday and everything is verdantly lit up with a soaked passion for life out there. 

First thing I see coming here?   STEIN stein stein stein

 

[Typhoon Tip]

Man... see the synoptic metrics for tomorrow ( Monday ) ?       Aprils suck ... so do Mays some years...  but one thing about spring in this region that cannot be denied is that it sometimes features some incredible short duration sensible weather turnarounds.   Tomorrow will be sensational at about 3pm compared to today at that same time, per evaluating the main indicators - all guidance sources.  It's like getting blood work back from a physical with an A1C of 4.8, total lipid spectrum of 150 over good cholesterol =70, and a flawless liver/kidney function.   I had that in 2020 .. but since attempted some dietary experimentation to go with weight lifting and it fucked my numbers up a bit ...  I've since got the A1C way down; we'll see how the cholesterol looks in August ... seein' as it's so relevant  lol  

Looks like Metrowest of Boston out along the Pike backyards, up through southern NH are going to be about 75, with almost unadulterated sun and 3 to 5kt angel zephyrs tomorrow afternoon.

They have. This particular scene is all the better when you find out that it wasn't in the script. He just improvised it.

Stein Stein everywhere Stein

Mucking up the greenery breaking his mind

Grow this, can't grow that

Can't you see the Stein?

About an inch of rain today on the mountain.  Luckily things dried up between 1-4pm for some Saturday afternoon laps.  Then proceeded to rain hard from 4:30 onward.

Two rounds of 3-5 hour “showers”… but did get to enjoy the break in precip a bit.

Closing day tomorrow.  Time to shut ‘em down here.

Stake down to 65”… similar to the above pictured elevation band.

Looks like a banner season there. Well above average all through 

[Damage In Tolland]

Looks like a continuation of the mild to at times warm pattern with lighter showers at times

And then we go beyond.. most models show a crap pattern after that and summer lovers looking for a bridge.

More sun today that thought. Makes it not awful 

[mreaves]

Look at this BS for this afternoon.
