.25" top of shop fence rail...

I think folks are getting carried away with it this early to be frank. Not to say that winter can still suck...nothing to do with that.

33F beautiful!!!

I was at Hershey Park for 7 hours Saturday. This weather would have been much preferable. Mid 80's and the sun beating in those lines was not enjoyable. At least I didn't go Friday and have to deal with that giant fight. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Chilly morning with +/- sd's across the area with teens along the shore. -11 at Hog Creek in Cook county. Along the BWCA it looks like. Seagull Lake N of there at -7. Top 5 cold snap looking at records. Similar cold snap back in 2023.

Three April's up here... Three Aprils it has snowed Sent from my SM-S166V using Tapatalk

3rd biggest April snowfall at Central Park but easily its most wintry April event, POR 1869 on. Yankees' home opener had been set for April 6; at the 1 PM game time it was 25°, S+, 6" new. Their max of 30° on 4/7 is tied for their coldest April max. The storm was my all-time good bust. CAR forecast for 4/7 the afternoon before was cloudy, windy 20s. In the evening they added flurries. Final total was 26.3", at the time their biggest snowfall, now in 4th place.

Ridge east

Sunny and warm here in the sun with no wind

Me too! I had to look it up. I had no idea.

The hardest it has snowed the entire "winter"..

Guys in the S sub not jealous at this point. We have to wait a bit for Spring to really spring. Just life at a little higher lat, and by a big cold pond.

Seriously I love it here! Just talked to my mom in agawam and said it was sunny dry. Lol a few flakes left 2.25 total!! We take!!

Heavy snow with great snow growth in Methuen.

Interesting. It’s been so long since we’ve had one I forgot

looks like sun for an hour along the Pike

52 / 31 cooler today / overnight into tomorrow 48 hours with freezes possible (tonight/Wed night) before moderating Thu / Fri to and above normal. Great weekend on tap. Next week much above normal if no onshore tendency is missed and develops on subsequent forecasting. 70s - 80s maybe a stray 90 as Bluewave noted above in the extreme case 4/13 - 4/15. Beyond there overall warm a bit back of cut off potential / ULL but other than that overall warmer than normal and drier than normal the next 7 - 10 days.

Webb exhibits at times a tone that borders on being over the top to get attention. “Hilariously strong”?
