Do we see mixed and maybe a light glaze into Northern CT tonight?

Looks like it's right on my doorstep in Westfield right now,  not sure if it'll cool enough here. Rain at the moment

Just wentout my car has a little bit of sleet on it and starting to ice a bit.. wasn't expecting any sleet here

Down 2 degrees in Westfield the last hour,  34 now 

Been sitting at 44 in Westfield for several hours now. Looks like this is as warm as we get here today

A good portion of Windsor Locks right along 75 there is nothing but concrete and pavement lol. 

Exactly. It doesn't seem like the smartest area to be taking official measurements for Temps when it's usually skewed several degrees warmer than any of the surrounding areas

Yeah, I still think something's wrong with that thermometer Bradley. Maybe it's being stuck in that valley with all the planes landing and taking off

Certainly a massive heat island around the airport that's for sure. Just standing in one of those waiting areas they provide near the runway you can feel the massive amounts of heat, it's worse than the Walmart parking lot

43 here and 73 in HFD at 18z Saturday on the GFS, lol.  

Was just going to say that for myself... Westfield vs BDL. Of course if it's right, the thermometer at BDL will insist it's 78

Gfs lost its silly winter shit.

It's theme of operation the whole past winter season

Light snow in Westfield and Granby this A.M. Showers in Simsbury

I don't wish to get into a protracted debate but ..,  relocation would only be a temporary safety measure, not a tactic that will deliver a long term solution.  Plus it's not really an option - realistically - when 90 or whatever iniquitous number it is, percent of the global population lives close to or in the poverty level, within drowning distance of sea-level rise and/or death from failure to maintain arable land/agraculture.  

Also, we are still inside the planetary atmosphere. No matter where we go, all systems are slaved existentially, and dependent upon it to some degree or the other - yes ...some areas more so than other are directly impacted by a changing climate, one that is outpacing regional adaptation rates ( ...uh, they can't keep up with the speed of the change ).  But other areas, indirectly so, yeah they may buy some time.  What's humanity going to do not if, but when the denial-enabling industrial bubble closes around 8 and a half billion, eating farting over extended species? - move them all to these tiny enclaves and sing Kumbaya?

good luck with that.    ...I'm not directing this sermon at you I'm just pissed off today.   LOL

Oh no offense taken, don't worry. It's just an observation I've made the last couple of years but I get your point. And even though we don't agree on everything, you're one of my favorite posters in this forum and have been for years

And that’s quick.

Even better when it's weenie stuffing. Wait! Make that sausage

Climate change will impose a population correction.  

This is all going to be similar to the story of Noah … ridiculed and pelted while he struggled through it to build the ark. Then the rains came … and came, and came and came. And as the hordes began to drown, they had no boat of their own - and the ark was insufficient to house them  

Only this time it will ironically be by fire … at least as a metaphor. 

What you don't see reported en mass are the areas that welcome some warming. Future population redistribution?...

The white rain has turned to flakes in Simsbury. About an hour ago in Westfield we had a gust move through with a wall of slush. It was enough to collect on the highway briefly. Last gasp of winter?

55 and clouds in Simsbury and Westfield.  Really nice actually since the drizzle quit around 10. Sun is highly overrated

Looks like we definitely are going to have some ass stretches. Not a fan. 

Yeah, opening day at Fenway weather

Keep the liquid flowing! I have a ton of stuff to burn this spring

Couple flakes on the windshield this A.M. in Westfield but nothing OTG... not even wet. Radar returns lied like a rug last night! Low of 33

What a trip. Deep winter with Fabulous conditions, and riding. Was a great way to end the season.  Now it can be spring. 

Very nice! Lets hope next season is as good, I'm deep into planning a return to the sport

Gusting hard in Simsbury the last half hour.

Another nice spring enroute. We’ve had a bunch recently 

Suits me! The RAM needs a serious detail! Just turned 200K so things have been building up 

Just now, CoastalWx said:

Buckle up for a scorching summer. It’s what we dew best now.

Pretty much! At least out my way last summer was totally bearable compared to the previous couple. Honestly at this point I'm done with winter and full on ready for spring. Let's get some Tstorms in here

Nice to see the signs of spring anyways. The best season is approaching with heat and dews  coming.

Doo Doo you mean.  Tip toe through the previously frozen dog crap season is here!

That's what 1 hour of rain will do.

Well like 3 hours,  but yeah our yard is interesting how the north side always loses the pack first completely and the backyard will still have near full coverage. All the rain dissolved the front yard snow into a pond in no time
