Ha you’re right, it is. Time to migrate threads.

Getting some graupel or hail mixed in. Bouncing when it lands. Temp in the low 50s though.

Damage near North Conway.

Ha you are already over 2”? Going to get smoked in total.

Not disagreeing or agreeing with it, but what a blatant mis-reading of that product. Greater than 40% chance of highs exceeding 65-70F? That product isn’t built around maximum temps for one, could be high mins. Also that statement seems to allow for up to a 60% chance of highs below 65-70?

These are the rainers where someone is like “Stein here, only 2.18 but models had 4.5. What happened?”

Took a skin up to the Mansfield stake. Skied 2,300 verts to the parking lot.

Can see MWM, should be a nice day over there.

Beautiful Saturday morning to be out in the mountains. Just some high cirrus about but mostly sunny in ge real.

We are +5.6 above normal on the month up here at MVL… and I think almost 2” above normal rain. +5.6 MVL +5.5 BTV +4.9 MPV Most of that is the 7 straight days of +10< and 4 straight days of +20< departures. Hard to come back from that to anything but a torch month.

Yeah pretty uniform 63-67F across the north. Day started off with heavy freeze, frosty yards and rooftops, now gorgeous.

66F off a low of 28F. Should be able to get the 40 degree spread today.

Not an ideal week, mid-30s and raw outside. Clear skies should dry it out.

Going to be some tough days next week too. The pattern persistence may wear down on optimism as we head deeper into the warm season.

It's not cloudless 70+, no, but coming out of winter with increasing daylight it feels better than it should? You guys looked to rain today. Up here we had some early rain drops, waking up to wet ground. But the day trended nicer. It was an acceptable afternoon solar-hour period; cool but the sun helps "cloud judgement" this time of year.

What a great evening outside. Some puffy Cu floating around, temps great for putting in some effort uphill. I find myself agreeing with DIT on these days have found a way to be better than they may first appear. Golf course looking quite green with the snow fertilizer.

Love this time of year for the daylight. We all know that one can take advantage of the late daylight... following months of early darkness. The increasing daylight in the spring is by far the environmental factor that hits the strongest. It was 6pm today when I was able to relax high up on the mountain and enjoy the extended light this time of year. Love summer evenings and these spring evenings remind me of that daylight. One can wander around high in the mountains after work and delay dinner as long as possible. Eating dinner takes place later than 8pm these days. Love it. None of this darkness at 4pm and eating dinner super early at 6pm type stuff.

Yeah! Some good content lately up high. Have seen 3" cumulative inches at 3,000ft the past few days up this way. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CreTtfwJ6FN/

Mount Washington Auto Road page.

Love how mountain peaks poke up into different weather than we see in the inhabited elevations. MWN looks to have received some snow above 5,000ft.

Could be worse for sure. Enjoyed a nice post-work hour skin up for about 2,000 vertical feet of skiing. Folks are still out enjoying it, decent post-work crowd today. Warms up with sun but wet flakes when showers move in.

Yeah July 3rd or 4th in 2021 was when the Mansfield summit saw the same temp as like Christmas Day that previous winter. It was something like that. Both holidays terrible for the opposite reason (torch Xmas and raw cold 4th).

Good point. Soggy fields and trails add to that “spring shit” vibe more than 55F bone dry reg flag weather stuff.

lol. Definitely first world problems. As the forum shes though, the bookend seasons become less and less appealing. Maybe Kev had it all along… just go deep winter to deep summer and try as hard as possible to avoid anything in between those two things.

I remember as a kid loving sports in those cooler 50s and 60s, much more than 80s. Though I’m sure parents sitting on the sidelines not engaged in activities differ in opinions. Overall though if it’s north of 50F it’s not that bad coming out of winter. 55F in October after summer heat has people wearing winter parkas with hats and gloves. 55F in April after winter hits much easier. It feels like hoodie weather. Which is sort of what late April should be?
