Friday morning frost, fowl, & fumes. 

 

Is that a steam plume in the distance rising from the dog shit in GInxy's yard?

Holy shit MVY got to 20 lol. Has to be a record.

GFS trying to cancel Mon-Wed.

I looked at a photo from 4/28/23. Although it’s two days away, it does look like last year was ahead of this year when it comes to leaf out. 

33.9. Frosty here and coldest since late March.

Lots of upper 20s in SE MA. 22 at MVY lol.

Sun just feels so good this time of year.  Still so high and bright at 6pm right now.

It's funny, my thermo was 52 earlier but with zero wind sitting at the patio, felt like 70.

Looks like MVL here will do 47F off a low of 19F.

It’s actually impressive under full mid-August sun to only get to 47F, IMO.

But it still felt very comfortable in a hoodie and Carhartts just now walking the dog a few miles.

T shirt for me today. Sweat shirt earlier, although I did wear a t shirt and shorts to the gym at 6a. Granted I do that all winter lol.

Logan managed 50 with a wind slightly off the runway lol. Chilly on the water.

In this time of year, any day without wind or clouds is FTW.

53.6 for the high, but for a few hours felt awesome. Zero wind. August sun FTW.

Today kind of sucks to me, it's great to see crystal clear blue skies but it almost feels like a step backwards with how chilly it feels...even if standing in the Sun. 

Felt like a blister in the sun?

GFS is pretty weak with it on this run anyway.  

Confident there'll be a BD if not non-committal warm boundary in the area early this week.  Question is how meaningful it will be to sensible weather.   Conventional experience/history tells us the sorest butt relative to all indicators is the safer lean but there's always hope -

again, albeit quite rare, ...I have seen these kind of synoptic outlooks break more favorable so it's not impossible.  I just don't wanna end up 47 and slate grays sky while it's 84 in Newark NJ

Looks like it would be sunny as the air advecting in would be drying. I don't mind the sunny doors that aren't like NE15G25. This does not look like that, but east winds penetrate pretty far west. Still low 70s CT.

Kinda weird to have total sunshine at noon in late April and only be 45°. 

 

43 at Logan with an evaporative cooling seabreeze.

Door Monday.

And this really was a mild shot. Outside of the hills if the lowlands can’t get to 32.. is that cold ? Nah 

It was pretty cold in NNE. I'll say 34 with 20+mph winds is good here, but many will be colder tonight with radiational cooling.

It's real-we've just gotten used to the warmer background state.   

You could also argue it's gone the other way. People over the top about no more winter, March is gone etc. When the Pacific breaks free from this horrific state it is in, winter will return.

I don't know of anybody who didn't accept it was a shit winter, do you? Lots of times things are made up . 

I’m talking about CC.

Yeah it’s true.  It seems like folks can’t do both though for whatever reason.  Talk cold and warm.

Thats what I mean by team sport.  Yesterday and last night was a solid/healthy cold shot for late April.  We can say that.

But also I agree that I’ve felt like bringing up months of +4 to +8 and other folks shrug it off like the pools aren’t open so it wasn’t warm.

 

People deep down don’t want to accept it. But at least we all enjoy snow.

I used to be like that, but I’ve learned to welcome Greta with open arms.

I know it's all mostly said in good fun but it's mostly using backyard obs to justify the overall picture. 

For example, poster A could live in a location where it is 87 and say its hot and and summer is here. Poster B may live in a location (higher elevation, coastal, woods) where it is only 71 and say its cool, where is summer?

So who is correct? They're each correct per their location, but the overall picture, its more than likely a warmer pattern in place but where poster B lives there is local influences going on. 

Most of the stuff is just busting balls anyways. But there’s definitely a board bias to hype up an 18 hour cold shot and then meh a stretch of like +15 days.

I think Tip is kind of overplaying things. If it’s 55-60 along the coast even with onshore flow that’s 70-75 minimally inland. He seems to be portraying gloom cold misery mist. Spring doors are very nice away from oceans . Doors aren’t bad like some portray 

Well, we’ve had plenty of doors that went down to New Jersey and locked all of the region in shit weather. I haven’t really dig deep to see what the possibilities are, but it does look like overall inland would be warm anyways. But you know how these go, it’s a dangerous game to think it’s just gonna be warm. 

I’ll tell you what though. I’m a Christmas cutter away from being Torch Tiger 2.0. You all can put me on ignore next winter.
