Weird how in winter the models always correct warmer as we get closer to a date and in April they always correct cooler and wetter for the past many years now. I’ll die on the hill that April is our worst weather month.

Tuesday honestly could be a sneaky just barely 80 if we get enough sun. We always seem to over perform this time of year if the winds are low and the sun is out longer before any clouds roll in.

It’s interesting how lately it is almost like clockwork that our Aprils are below average for temps and wetter than average.

That’s my point. Was an okay year with lots of downturns. Their good years they usually get to the first of June. But usually you gotta really be dedicated and okay with mud. I’m just shocked Catamount was blowing snow for the weekend even though Saturday looks like a wash out even there.

Heading up to Belleayre tomorrow to play on the 4-5 inches they received yesterday and last night. Was going to go today but the potential for wind holds kept us away. Like our last time out this year. Overall it wasn’t a horrible season but definitely not the best. Had some big ups and some major downs but hopefully next season will be less torrential rains throughout the season at random intervals. Looks like Killington will be able to make it to mid May or later this year at least.

People give me looks when I say this, but spring blow. Between mosquitoes, bipolar weather, and mud, I’ll wait for summer. Two favorites are winter and summer followed closely by fall. Spring can go F itself.

Maybe it is my ignorance, but what is ACE?

Well that is terrifying for March 4/5. But on the flip side the snow out west must have looked nice for the first part of the flight.

I've always thought we should be on Atlantic time and call it a day. No changing our clocks twice a year. Poor eastern Maine being so far east makes it even worse to be on eastern time. The Eastern time zone is so large because everyone wanted to be on NYC hours for the financial markets etc. But even looking at articles like this, it shows you maybe we aren't right: https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/should-new-england-change-time-zones/.

Interesting I always saw 57 on Apple weather and TWC app for today under mostly cloudy skies. Here in The Bronx it is exactly that. But small localized differences are always the case this time of year, especially with water temps through the area.

I'm not for either way. I just think the practice is dumb. Likewise I hate when people say "we get an extra hour of daylight", no we just shift it. When I teach this students ask why we don't just keep the extra hour of daylight. We don't! Hell China doesn't even do timezones.

Where is everyone that is saying big bust on the temps today? It is 56 out and forecast I saw was for 57. This is starting to get like the people that say their 1 inch is 5 inches and the storm over performed.

The whole system needs an overhaul. But even in Ohio people support not changing the clocks. But even so I don’t get why people are so worried about morning daylight. The evening commute is just as important and statistically more people are out for the evening commute. People always talk about students going to school in the dark, well they already do all winter here. High school busses start picking up before 6AM where I am. Those students already go to school in the dark basically the whole school year. We didn’t even have a Federal standard for it until 1967 and we have moved it multiple times. I would okay with going back to the old way the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. But we’ll see what happens in the future as the “Sunshine Protection Act” was passed by the Senate but not the House. I honestly don’t see it changing anytime soon, but it is worth thinking about permanent DST or EST.

But where are you seeing this? The models over the next 10 days are 40s to low 50s with lots of foggy nights and rainy days. The following 10 days look like one to three days of 60 but damp and chilly days interspersed. Not exactly ideal. Just early April weather in early March.

It’s what people don’t get. This can also give our pollinators hell. Not to mention people don’t equate March with ticks but they are out when it is warm!

We should honestly just keep DST year round. Changing clocks doesn’t do anything it was originally proposed to do.

Not up by me in the foothills. Have today and one day next week in the 60s, the rest are 40s with rain. Spring always sucks except for those rare warm days with sun. The rest is mud, bugs, and more mud.

It’s for work. Gotta get the day started.

Yes rainy and in the forties is going to be so amazing. Nothing like spring in the northeast. But at least it will be light out after 7 although it sucks for those of us getting up at 5 that we get an extra hour of dark.

So question for all the people that prefer rain over snow this time of year. What can you do with this absolute garbage weather. This is literally the most depressing type of weather and why I wish I could be in Phoenix from March to mid-May. Too warm to snow to enjoy snow sports and too cold to enjoy being outside and then just wet. Days like today even with the heat in just feel damp and raw.

There hasn't even been much arctic air there either. Some small periods of outbreaks, but nothing sustained.

We may have been dry, but they weren’t and they still had snow cover during winter. We are in a positive feedback loop with fires now, less snow cover in Canada leads to more fire.

It is odd how so many people seem giddy with the warmth. Do I like warm weather? Sure do, but not on February 27th. People telling MJO to move etc, umm this isn’t our normal weather either, so quite acting like 60s by late February is normal and a good thing.

I don’t think people realize how bad fire season will be in Canada this year with the lack of snow cover and very little precipitation. I know some love the warmth but you won’t when we start to face crop shortages etc. This is actually a very alarming trajectory we are on.

Still have a 2-4 inch pack in my yard, but it will be gone after this weekend. Currently snowing and sleeting quite hard. Winter's last hurrah here as it is currently modeled. Getting a Killington trip in this weekend and then we will re-evaluate.
