Makes it more of a kick in the nads when you sort of regress as you get into warmer months. But, it made March go by much quicker. March is one of those months that can be miserable AF if the wx stinks.
Ha, back in the day up in Bingham, ME I had that experience. Two 19 yr olds with backwards RedSox hats walk in to grab something to eat, and we got "the stare down." They definitely know when you aren't from around there.
No, it was more for the rest of the area that it’s about as close to HWW as you can get without having one. I guess for the NWS it’s confidence. This will probably be a lot of 45-48kt reports. Some areas will have gusts near or over 60mph. I can see why they have the HWW where they have it.
