I will say, it’s been one of the best forsythia blooms I have seen in years. It seems like every bush around town is blowing out yellow at the same time.

Thanks for the confirmation I thought it was just me.

I don't get nervous in the woods much but the winds are something else. Have my headphones up to 11.

Nice warm muggy morning. Signs to come.

.72 inches of rain. Let's hope that's not.

Ugh, the last thing we need are gray squirrels with the attitude problem of the red squirrels.  The last few times I tried to scare off a red squirrel, the damn thing got all jumpy and spastic and started coming towards me.

Red squirrels are nasty. There seems to be more and more of them.

Not raining just a little mist. I'll take it.

Yikes! It was nice here. Didn't know Northfield was on the coast.

How can you say that we will not have any more snow in March ? It's foolish. 

Cuz he's a troll. He can say whatever he wants.

Nice bonus day in Eastern Massachusetts. It's been beautiful all morning.

12z has 40-60 mph gusts across region. We’ll see how things shake out this week as we get closer

showing his high wind gust bias, continuing to forecast winds  as
high as twice the magnitude of other guidance, such as the GFS and
Canadian deterministic models.".

37° to start. Hopefully it'll be the last of the 30s for a while.

70’s CT.. 50 E MA today . North Atlantic FTL

I'll gladly trade the '50s for less rain.

Today will probably be the warmest day in the next 10.

Take your '70s and run. Actually doesn't look too bad next week. They've backed off the heavy rain amounts here. Connecticut can keep it.

Luckily, given the progressive nature

of the front, ensemble probabilities greater than 2" of rain remain

below 10%, with ensemble probabilities of >1" of rain in the

ballpark of 40-50%, highest across Connecticut

Average temperature during Red Sox home openers is 56 degrees.

• Coldest home opener was on April 2, 1971, when the temperature reached just 41 degrees.

• Warmest home opener was April 15, 1941 — reaching 78 degrees.

• Rainiest home opener was April 1, 2002 — totaling 0.93 inches.

• Snowiest was April 9, 1996 — totaling 1 inch.

It's wicked cool! And you definitely notice the temperature difference.

Going to be a big swing today if we get into the mid-60s.  31° now.

Good start.

Yeah, November 15  to December 15 can be rough.  In April, at least in the valley, we can do real well on those downslope dandy days.

I can see that. Few and far between here. When you do get a nice one it's glorious. Tomorrow maybe.

I’m not a big November or December guy.  Windy, chilly, spitting rain, cloudy and dark. April can have some real nice days. It was pretty nice middle of last April. Though I don’t live near the coast.  65 here Tuesday!  

I guess I should have prefaced . I've never lived far from the coast. I kind of like November and December. Thanksgiving and Christmas, and anticipation of snowfall.

Jesus the 6z gfs looks terrible. Ugh.

April is the crappiest month of the year. It's not even close.

Not raining or snowing. 37°

Sledding in Massachusetts ain't what it used to be.
