My hands got parched today, so I checked the weather obs and, unsurprisingly, the relative humidity took a big dive again today.
Was 17.2°C/63°F with a dew point of -8.1°C/17°F (rh 17%) earlier in the day. As usual, dews are lower further east on the Italian Riviera, with -18.4°C/-1°F currently at Capo Mele.
Snow depths in Trondheim - our local newspaper (adressa.no) has recorded and documented- with photos - the snow depth in different parts of the city, as the last 6 weeks have been almost like winter in the old days.
The last day of February, the smallest snow depth was 14 cm near the fjord. At 120 m asl (Tyholt) snow depth was 34 cm, while the official station at Voll (127 m) recorded 15 cm.
The interesting part comes when they record the snow depth in the western part of the city, adjacent to the higher terrain in Bymarka city forest. At ca 220 m asl (Ugla), snow depth was 102 cm! And that is still in the city! What a difference - 14 cm vs 102 cm, in the same city.
The largest snow depth at the end of February in that part of the city since...well, 2009.
Up in Bymarka, not in the city but in the municipality, snow depth is up to 130 cm.
Outside my house, snow depth now is ca 15 - 18 cm.
I was outside in the 30s today and thought it was warm. I guess the sun angle had something to do with that. Not looking forwards to 60+ next week. 50s fine, but slow down please. GEES! I enjoyed the fresh air today.
New Euro12z showing large pockets of 70s across northern CT, Eastern MA and into Southern NH. As well as a pocket over Southern NY.
Wednesday still seems like the warmest day of the week next week.
And here's the Max temp map for next Wednesday from that run
From cold tonight, snow tomorrow, snow showers Saturday to 60s & 70s Wednesday
The word Summer is mentioned.

For us those temps are 9-10 degrees above normal so not exactly a heatwave but rather a nice warm up.
Last year, March 3, I got out of work and the car was completely encased in thick ice from the freezing rain. I remember it well, but not too fondly. Took well over a half an hour to clear it all off, with copious amounts of de-icer fluid and scraping. Luckily heading back at an odd, time, roads weren't that bad. I was working in Delaware... lots of ice there, but almost none at home.
