But did you know that bears are not truly hibernating? In fact, no large mammal actually hibernates. While we commonly refer to a bear's winter repose as hibernation, it is actually a process called torpor.

I thought it was a f240 map.

Just what you want 10 days out.

Pit 2 had a high of 75 at noon--it then dropped since to the current 51*. Back to the way spring is supposed to be in the Midcoast.

Enjoy!

Here are a few remembrances from April 4, 2008--right after moving to GC. A bit of a different look.

The great Five Weenie Electrical Band

Despite the sun and 52* temps, the strong NW off the water are making this less than an ideal day. Still better than yesterday though.

Still sun through milky sky. Temp still up to 47* with a progged high of 54 though--we take.

Some here to your NE as well with the sun shining through them. I expect they'll dissipate quickly.

I saw 23* this morning--not sure if that was the low or now. Up to 36 now--already approaching yesterday's high.

Drove through a couple of brief--but pretty heavy--snow showers on the drive up to Pit2 last night. I guess that'll be the last reduced visibility due to snow until next season. We rest. We wait. 22*.

Man, today sure sucks.

Pretty much a no show here. ORH checking in with less than a quarter inch.

Did he used to live in Lunenburg?

Are you saying the HWW isn't warranted or am I mis-reading your post.

I wasn't expecting to see the issuance of a HWW.

Not warm enough.

Just lit mine as well. We're down to just a few days worth of wood though,, so while the need may be there for a while yet we'll be resorting to main heat soon.

The fact is there is a much larger margin of 'error' to result in a rain event than a snow event.. A storm tracking up the Hudson and one tracking through Cleveland are both going to be disasters. Move the storm off Nantucket we've got a winner. Move it 150 miles off that, you've got Chris enjoying Cirrus. Not winning. . 14.

Way off topic........but I was just looking at the distribution of NWS offices. Why does New England require 6 offices for forecasts? Compare that to California--it also has 6. Texas has 8. What's the rationale for these distirbutions?

Perfect timing for the Globe's water restrictions article yesterday.

Yeah--that changed once Romney got into office. I think we still give people the option to pay a higher rate if they choose. I think about 3 people choose to do that each year--probably from Somerville. Now we're Maskachussetts.

Welcome to the world.

Well, generally speaking, he's right.
