frankdp23 1,186 Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Only .52" for the whole weekend, but it being overcast and misty made it gross. Hopefully today is dry enough later on, I want to grill some steaks. Link to post Share on other sites

mshaffer526 2,335 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Spring has sprung. My second favorite time of year. Sun feels warm, everything is blooming and temps are perfect for walking, but you don't have to deal with the hornets and humidity yet. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

I threw down some lawn products early this morning before the "monsoon" of drizzle rolled in. Looks like solid improvement by Thursday. Perhaps not so bad tomorrow. I wouldn't want to be a tomato plant put in the ground in April around here. This is the perfect time to experiment with seeds though indoors. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Criminal to be selling them, one cold morning and the plants are dead. Then they have to go back to Home Depot to buy more.... Yes marine drizzly shank here too. Link to post Share on other sites

The term "upslope drizzle" is interesting. Google only returns 9 results for "upslope drizzle" (in quotes). What led you to call it "upslope drizzle" and when would drizzle not be "upslope drizzle?" Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
chescopawxman 1,157 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hey Icicleman....what I meant in meteorological terms was slight and I do mean slight or very shallow up slope - the shallow and weak up slope flow from sea level up against hills over 850 feet against the Piedmont Plateau which rises in the west and northwest philly burbs can.... in some cases create a very shallow fog/drizzle layer. The precise direction, depth, intensity, and moisture content of the up slope occurs when moist air such as what happened over the last couple days with a prolonged low level east southeast fetch off the Atlantic is forced upwards over the rising terrain of the Piedmont Plateau can either slightly enhance or cause clouds and some drizzle....clearly more prominent over NE PA and NW NJ with elevations well over 1500 ft but can and does occur at lower elevations given the right dynamics. Let me know if this make sense - thanks!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
chescopawxman 1,157 Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 After today's dreary day Chester County PA we will finish with our 10th warmest (46.2) average monthly temperature for March since records began in 1894.
