After last weekends Snowstorm that dropped 8” of heavy wet Snow, the Temperature immediately took a dive to 3° then slowly rebounded, melting the snow, including all Snow piles in 4 days to a record setting official High of 78° yesterday (thought my station registered 81°). It appears much of the water melt likely soaked into the ground as there were no real noticeable puddles near the ground areas, other than what may have already been in the streets and alleyways. I do believe I was noticing a tinge of green starting to show in the grasses and some vegetation seems to have deeper color. The upcoming week might confirm that. My nearby lake is rotting of Ice with large openings appearing in multiple areas inviting numerous ducks back.
While most of last week was dreary and mostly Cloudy, it was interesting that I happened to be looking out a window at the time of the Spring Equinox at 9:46am, because I heard the time mentioned, and within several minutes, the Sun suddenly burst through the clouds and the Temperature started to rise. It was somewhat surreal.
Forecast: A possible Light Snow Shower today. Mostly Sunny skies with seasonable Temps havering in the mid 40’s to mid 50’s, winds in the low teens.
An additional photo I’m posting this week is of an interesting cloud formation, which included what appears to be a cloud shadow streaking across the underside. It just seems different from normal dark clouds.
