March 2024 Observations and Discussion

Such a pretty day today! 47*, no wind and bright sunshine. Too bad it won't last. Looks like the next week we can't string a few days in a row of sunshine.

Started very cold this morning but has warmed up nicely here to 49*. Looks like a cool rain tomorrow but warmer on Sunday. Still looking toward next weekend/early next week to see if we can pull one more rabbit out of the hat in the snow department. If not, I'll gladly start planning along with Janet for baseball season. For that reason after April 1 (or in this case March 28) I prefer the cold to leave us entirely until November.

What a crappy day heavy rain 50° perfect day to be inside and watch movies and stay in bed

LOL, hope it wasn't from the Sushi,Mom.

Gorgeous day today, went for a nice ride in the beautiful Hudson Valley.

54 degrees, cloudy, calm.Rainy week coming after tomorrow.

Peepers!

Dandelions have already popped up in our yard in New Hope, forsythia looking eager to bloom. It's only early March! This Minnesota girl is wondering whether she'll be able to see any wintry weather this year...

Just saw possibility of 3-4 inches of rain this week

A request:  could one of you weather gurus please remind me as to what significant snowstorms have taken place in March?  I have a dim recollection that there was one that kept me from travelling back to Princeton from California during the '80's or '90's...could that have been true?  And have there been others since then that were memorable?  
Thanks, Kalle

Not sure what you consider significant, but 3/14/2017 I think I got 10" plus sleet here in Bergen County.

That's been the theme of this season's pattern.Plenty of moisture since November with below average snow.

March 1993 Superstorm, classic Miller A that gave me 17 inches in Mahwah NJ but out in NE PA was 36 inches.

We live in a cold rainforest now like northern CA

Yup and guess what LR GFS has next 2 sat washed out!! I think my worst nightmare might come true, nice weekdays then soaking weekends, it seems like the pattern locks and onc e every 7 days (that lands on sat/sun) and until something breaks that it sticks.

The next three days are going to be a challenge….way too much rain!

42. High of 45 today. Yesterday was nice. 
March showers bring April flowers. 

Mom, are those pictures of the bay?

Let's put out positive vibes!! It would suck...

Mom, nothing like the smell of the bay this time of year with the sunsets. 

A band of heavy rain now. My perimeter drain has a lot of water coming out

44* and .76 inches of rain so far. What a dreary day it was

Beautiful pictures, but now I'm confused...
What hit 70, the thermometer or the speedometer?
