Bucking the "Drier than average" trend. Wow, John. Almost no new snow all month?

13 inches of new, but very dry, snow, darn it. Good for skiing but not much else.

Dear Steve, X-Air, Blick, and WeatherCat climate watchers,

I'll give my usual plug to Grand:



Alas another month of nothing but bad news on the climate front.

Oh well, . . . . . Edouard

From high on the western edge of the Uintah Mountains in Utah, where we received 24 inches of snow in April, for which we are grateful due to its water content...

Congratulations! I approve.

Dear Blick, Steve, X-Air, and WeatherCat climate watchers,

Here is the report from Canebas weather station:



While little more than average, the rainfall was nonetheless more than all the rain that fell from January to March combined!  It is hardly a surprise but we are now in a stage-2 drought which forced our water utility district to demand mandatory 10% reduction in water use.  The late rains certainly will delay the start of the wildfire season, but by how much?  The winds remains much stronger than in past years.

Such is the climate news in this corner of the USofA .  . . . .

Congratulations! I approve.

P.S. I second the motion!

Well, it is only where the yellow circle is instead of the red circle where it is supposed to be. So lots of wind gets blocked or channeled between trees. It is screwed to a 5' 2X4, bungee-corded to my bird feeders. So not particularly accurate...

I should have posted that April was:

    Weird. 2" of snow two weeks ago today, followed by 84° five days later. Then 20s and 30s this last week, and 70 yesterday.40s and 50s all this week.

So, in other words, a typical Ohio spring...

Thanks for sharing Steve! 

Cheers, Edouard
