Huge winter incoming.

Rhea?

I saw that Saturday isn’t looking as good as before. 9am… 2pm…

34F and dreary.

Miserable morning, rain and 41F. Snowpack at 1,500ft down to 18”.

One of the worst days in a while for weather, ha. This is eastern Mass in April stuff. Dark, drizzle, rain, fog and 37-41F.

Only if it’s riming the trees white, ha ha.

39F and fog. Disgusting.

63F. Snow torched in town. Nice 3-mile dog walk, now laps on the big hill up the road. March done right.

Have to enjoy today… we went from 26F to 61F before noon.

This is a wild 2M Temp map tomorrow evening... Freezing rain in the Champlain Valley while it's near 70F at ALB and CEF.

End of March, winter has flown by.

March madness indeed. Wow.

Gradient pattern. Seasonal jet going back north now. Check out FVE and CAR.

May, but yeah we can sometimes hit those super dry heat max temps before vegetation is really out.

Over 50% of the yard is still snow covered here.

We have a great small knit crew that diligently takes care of it throughout the season and we do really enjoy it. It’s nice to see what it is actually at the ski area, vs just estimating snowfall and throwing numbers out there. You really see the importance of taking a measurement at the same place all the time and as a skier, you start to be able to guess pretty accurately what you’ll find there based on observations elsewhere on the mountain. No matter what, as long as one continues to record obs in the same manner over and over, it makes for fun data comparisons.

10.4F And such a nice sunny morning shaping up but god damn…

High in the 20s is just cruel under full sunshine this time of year.

It’s obnoxiously cold today.

That western heater is just bananas. Hottest March temperatures in Salt Lake City… it’s like the whole past week is up there. The ski areas getting all sorts of weird wet avalanches they’ve never seen before.

I thought it was supposed to rain today? Models had light QPF midday and yet it’s sunny and 50s up here. Amazing win for several hours here.

Yeah my lab is 11 and I know that day is coming. Anything past 12 years old is borrowed time.

I think he likes the Day 7 snow maps more.

It definitely can be, but can also get real exciting when trees and objects are coming at you fast and self preservation means you need to avoid them, ha.
