Yesterday town over from me had pea sized hail and graupel mixed with rain and I had ugatz. Had the fireplace past few nights! Looks like may happen again latter part of next week.

Morning thoughts... Today will be partly sunny and a bit milder. High temperatures will likely reach the middle and upper 50s in most of the region. Likely high temperatures around the region include: New York City (Central Park): 55° Newark: 56° Philadelphia: 56° Tomorrow will be sunny and milder. The first half of next week will be noticeably warmer with readings well into the 60s with perhaps a day where they reach or exceed 70°.

The US is in a downward spiral that will get worse before(if) it gets better. By this time next year we will be settled in a different country. We have been working on it for awhile but it’s time. The factionalism you mention is already here - in many different ways. We have large bubble areas of people separated based on political tribe... and separatists within those areas killing others in mass casualty events. This is comparable to Ireland in the 1980’s.

One more thing which is very encouraging with regard to Israel's numbers and Fauci's comment about "going back to normal" if we get below 10K cases per day. My comment above was I thought we'd get there by late June/early July, given our trajectory of vaccinations and looking at Israel's numbers, as they're now at <200 cases per day, which for 9MM people is about 22 cases/1MM. Extrapolate that to our 335MM people and that's 7370 cases/day, which is below the 10,000 cases/day metric. Very achievable, IMO, if we get close to their vaccination penetration of 85% of adults, and if no vaccine-el

Parts of New Hampshire picked up 13.0" snow. Snow will wind down across New England tonight. A slow warming trend will commence during the weekend. The recent model runs have now turned colder for the remaining week of April. That development will bear watching. The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.5°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.5°C for the week centered around April 7. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.15°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.52°C. La Niña conditions will likely give way to neutral-cool ENS

And on vaccines...

This is not good. I may have to get the down jacket out of the closet. WX/PT

Sleeting with rain here at my office in Great Neck.

Testing first today. Vaccination later.

CDC finally released some COVID "breakthrough" data, post full vaccination and the numbers are very, very low, but not zero (which was expected). Out of 77MM people fully vaccinated in the US there have been 5800 who are known to have become infected with COVID and of those, 396 were hospitalized (~5 per 1MM vaccinated) and 74 died (~1 per 1MM). While zero hospitalizations and deaths would have been great, that's an unrealistic expectat

Crazy how a few hundred feet in elevation makes a difference. My daughter works just 4 miles away probably about 200 feet higher elevation and about 4 miles due west from home. She text me a pic at 8:00 AM. All the cars were covered and the ground had a slushy accumulation. The pic is less than a mile from home and about 100 feet higher elevation from home. I leave Walmart go down the hill to home and the snow isn't anywhere near as bad as at Walmart a little less than a mile away. Rain mixed with snow. Go back to Walmart just out of curiosity and crazy hard snowing. Back down the hill home an

Morning thoughts... A slowly departing storm was bringing snow and rain to parts of New England. Today will start with partly sunny skies, but clouds could increase during the afternoon. High temperatures will likely reach the middle 50s in most of the region.

picked up 0.98 yesterday

Snowing up here in Rhode Island. Not where I am but only 5 or 6 miles away an inch on the grass and slush on the roads. Northwest corner of the state a few inches on the ground. This after 74 degrees last Saturday! 1.24 inches of rain so far. Another 1/2 to 3/4 expected. Last 3 rain events up here all around 2 inches or more. no April showers up here!

Picked up 0.32" of rain for the day yesterday. Current temp 44

Spring.

And the GOP’s answer to the eroding support is to just rig the system in their favour even more than it already is. Hopefully Biden actually getting stuff done is enough to keep the Democrats afloat, and they are not torn apart by the left’s notoriety for factionalism.
