Peeps,
Welcome Spring and say good bye to ol’ man winter!!!!! We have reached the vernal equinox which means equal hours of daylight and darkness and it is all up from here the next 90 days until we hit the Summer Solstice on June 20th!!!
Morning temps were 26 degrees BRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Last time we’ll see such temperatures until…. Fall (Rocktober/November)– isn’t spring but tomorrow we’ll reach the upper 50’s in the region to mid-50’s out in NW NJ. Week ahead looks Spring like as the pattern starts to come to this.
My Grade for winter is a solid B+:

Birthday Nor’easter was awesome – if we did not mix it would have been a 12-16” storm instead of an 8.5”
Xmas Eve Grinch storm wiped out our White Xmas – bummer!
No snowstorms or arctic cold for the whole month of January = sucked
Historic February but no severe arctic outbreaks (single digits for high and negative for lows) that were always being modelled but never made it here).
66 hours’ snowstorm to kick off the month
Super Bowl Storm that gave us 7-9” with 2-3’ snowfall rates
No March Nor’easter or wet paste bomb snowstorm – this would have made it an A in my book.
But a good winter overall. Best is yet to come in the coming year according to long range cycle forecasters like Dave Dilley, John Casey, David DuBuyne.
My records – 53″ that is 18″ above normal – 52% Above Normal Snowfall !!

Iceland volcano erupts!!
After a hiatus of almost a millennium. Who said 2021 would not be wild?? Or Historic?? They 50K earthquakes over a 14-day period with dozens over 4.0 – that would make one shake in their boots!!! We had 45 puffers go off this week in one day….45!!!
Iceland volcano erupts for the first time in 900 years sending molten lava spewing into the skies as a red glow is seen for miles and flights are banned https://t.co/2h6HXQZuLq via @MailOnline

A volcanic eruption began in southwestern Iceland near the capital Reykjavik on Friday following thousands of small earthquakes in the area in recent weeks, the country's meteorological office said. https://t.co/YSsOBi9Ay3

THE 45 VOLCANOES CURRENTLY ERUPTING
Volcanic eruptions are one of the key forcings driving Earth into its next bout of global cooling. Particulates fired above 10km –and so into the stratosphere– shade sunlight and reduce terrestrial temperatures. The smaller particulates from an eruption can linger in the upper atmosphere for years, or even decades+ at a time
Today’s worldwide volcanic uptick is thought to be tied to low solar activity, coronal holes, a waning magnetosphere, and the influx of Cosmic Rays penetrating silica-rich magma.
Below is a list of today’s continuing eruptions, data courtesy of volcano.si.edu. Not included in the list are the myriad of mountains merely rumbling and readying for an eruption — the most notable exclusion is Fagradalsfjall, Iceland which has been enduring “a seismic crisis” since late Feb 2021 (50,000 quakes in just 20 days) as well as continued inflation (see video below the list). Fagradalsfjall is of concern because we have no data on it, no eruption has been detected in the area during the last 10,000 years, at least–the volcano may well be capable of producing a VEI 6+ stratospheric eruption which would cool the planet almost overnight.
