Clouds, NW Winds, Cold aloft, 11am and Binghamton is only 37°F and feels like 29°F.
So just thinking out loud.... that was pretty cool. Weather is about timing all the time right?
Well, if it wasn't for the Ocean storm and the stalled front all week we would of had well above normal temps because there was another storm that went to Canada which returned a southerly flow at the mid and upper levels which meant WARM...but because of the ocean storm and stalled front we had clouds and a Northeast flow at the surface, which kept the surface cool! COOL!
So in a sense we escaped being torched into the 70s up to New England and 80s to Mid Atlantic.
If there wasn't an ocean storm, we wouldn't of stayed in the 40s during the day here. Just perfect timing!
Then the ocean storm left, the front pushed through and now back to a NorthWest cooler/near normal flow. Perfect timing.
Ok. Here's the progress so far. Dark gray is patchy snow, map shows snow cover for me but I don't see any outside (closest station recording snow depth says it melted out a few days before the end of March — very shaded spots may have melted out later). Not that much left in the hills, deep snow is limited mainly well to the north. By the middle of next week, outside of Maine, snow should be gone below 2000 feet or so. There's probably going to somewhere that records upper 60s with snow on the ground. Millinocket went to 61°F on the 3rd, 2°F on the 6th. Still has 15+ inches of snow on the ground.

D*mned stalled front lol. How come the cold fronts always come storming through right on schedule around here, but the warm fronts keep getting suppressed? I know you might like it, but I'm getting sick of these lame sub-60 highs where it takes like two weeks to get anything green to start sprouting from the ground. At this rate of warming, it'll take until May yet again until I can see green in most places
High of 19.0C yesterday, low of 2.8C last night and high of 8.7C today.
That's one of the biggest day-on-day changes I can remember here, extra impressive when you consider the weather station is on a hillside and not in the best place to capture big diurnal ranges.

Is that the warmest of the season so far? Is that rather early for you? We're forecast to reach 19°C tomorrow for the first time this spring.
We had at least 5 tornadoes in Northern Illinois between Rockford and Chicago on Thursday. If that EF4 was just 25 miles east it would have hit a very heavily populated area

Saw that EF-4 rating this morning (or yesterday) Sick. I was going to post but got tired of it. lol You got lucky?

Tulips seem to have given up (the early ones anyway). Soil still cold but watch things bolt once we get some 60s and a 70. Speaking of green, see photo from today.

Love the updates!
I told some people that many areas of Maine haven't seen the ground since November, they were shocked then said "how depressing". That's just nuts. And it's mid April and they still have over half foot snowpack.
I love winter but I do love my seasons (except summer). I would adjust to northern winters but part of me would be itching to see some ground at least after 3 months....I think... maybe not. Maybe I say that cause I'm just so used to seeing it 11 months a year. lol
