https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/hatfield-91-crash-bear-dragged-victim/ What a headline: "Bear dragged crash victim's body from car in woods off Massachusetts highway, police say." Guy goes off I-91 and dies in a single car accident that wasn't witnessed by anyone. Who knows how long he was there. Then a black bear tries to drag him off per Mass State Police. "When first responders reached the scene, the deceased male occupant of the vehicle was outside the car and a bear was observed in the woods in the vicinity of the scene," State Police said in a statement. "Evidence suggests the bear at some point had made contact with the victim's body." The bear took off from the area while troopers were at the scene.

Yeah, it’s a nice time of year where you can get on snow if you want to. Or enjoy spring if you want that too. Some aerial shots of Stowe/Mansfield from a couple days ago. Plenty of coverage for 2,000 vertical feet on numerous runs if you want to earn some turns, which many of us have been doing. 33” of natural snow depth at the Co-Op Stake on the upper East side. Nosedive Glades and other woods shots on the Front still skiable.

I don’t remember any talk on here of punting all day Sunday as a cold rain. Was it a bit more dreary than expected?

Yeah pretty impressive compact ULL swinging perfectly into the central Sierra.

Irrelevant here but impressive cold snowstorm for even relatively low elevations in the Tahoe area. I mean, I guess 6,000ft is still up there… but even if MWN got a cold, dry 26” in 24 hours it would be note-worthy.

Problem is if it’s hoodie weather where you are, folks are lighting wood stoves up here . Been stuck between 46-50F all day. Currently 47F.

Rainy wet Sunday in the 40s.

Ahh that’s the life saving drug that all Vermont State Troopers, EMS, and ambulance services carry throughout the state. Every VSP state police cruiser has a gallon jug of maple syrup in it and it is in official EMS protocols to administer “Pure Vermont Maple Syrup” for all diabetic emergencies.

There. Thats the weather.

That’s pretty iron clad. I’m in ALB today and would say mostly cloudy or filtered sunshine. Even a few scattered drops from a mid-level deck at one point. 72/46 is pretty damn nice here though regardless of if sky is deep blue or filtered sun through mid-level.

I’m convinced we could get multiple posters shoulder-to-shoulder in a field and every single one would describe the observed weather in front of them differently.

I know you two are just in some weird dance with each other but each of those obs look like 4 layers of scattered cloud decks? Like if there’s 4 in an observation then there are 4 layers or heights of clouds… some of those even have 5 layers.

We’ll settle for clean air.

Do you and Ken get alerts when each other post? Or is this an auto-canned message that AI generates when anything cool is mentioned? lol. It’s like clockwork. <If words cool, BN, cloudy, rain, showers, are mentioned, respond with dialog about perfect weather immediately />

Had to drive down to White Plains, NY today and then heading to Albany. Went I-91 to 84 and then over into NY… Looks like June once south of Springfield with all the leaves and greenery, love it. However it’s warmer up in northern VT… car says 62F here while MVL just hit 70F.

It was low 50s and showery with a ceiling around 2kft this afternoon. Did hit 61F at 11am but was all downhill from there with wet-bulb cooling in showers. Finally broke up and dried up rapidly between 5-6pm. Its crazy how comfortable it is as long as the sun is out. Even temps in the 50s feel all good when the sun is out. Coming out of winter, it all feels mild.

Guess the dog shoulder deep in snow and birch trees bent to the ground do it in much fewer words. A photo is worth a thousand words they say?

Nah those are just general weather observations in a weather observation thread… you always think those are trolling posts. It’s just what is happening outside like everyone else does .

Disregard. Suns out now for final 90 minutes of daylight, ha. Great pattern!!

I’m now regretting not posting that every time it snowed last winter .

53-54F at MVL all afternoon with occasional showers. Been awesome. Sucks to suck up here.

Some good downpours this afternoon. Small convective cells but can drop a quick quarter inch.

Weather twitter has been game changing in the quest for easy access twister content. These vids are always high-end.

Had an apartment building and auto body shop burn down Sunday morning in Stowe from a lightning strike. That stuff is wild and unlucky.

Snowpack at the picnic tables remains near normal with the long term average. This season has been pretty normal on the whole for the snow department, snowfall and snowpack. Pretty crazy for Dec/Jan/Feb to average +8 and then a +6.3 March… even April is +2.5. Statistically, to have these departures in the winter and still see normal snowfall, it’s a weird combo.
