Atleast locally to me (MHT) we actually started March 2012 chilly and had a snow event leading into the 1st. It was the middle of the month that went wild into the 70/80s. This one has been more consistently mild with less high end stuff. Pretty sure MHT was around +8.5 in 2012, and around +8 mtd this year. We'll see how the back half ends up but with climo warming we will definitely need some 70s to keep pace.
It's hard to judge springs off just temps too. Before full leaf out we can still pull some better rad nights. In SNH, we could pull 70/34 on May 1 and it's solidly BN, but real nice during the day. Have to use a combo of temps and precip to get the full picture
Looks like it's trying to crawl up through orh/495 to some degree now too. Probably intensifies there and slowly slips SE.
Been snowing here better than radar suggests. ~3/4" so far. Honestly more than I was expecting when I went to bed.
Northern edge even on BOX seems to be getting a little boost too. Probably won't last very long but it's been moderate here at times the past half hour.
3k looks like a little bump north from 6z with the precip shield. What a hard call on the northside, esp MA/NH border and NE MA area. Nam and hrrr make it easier to discount the euro, were 6hr closer within 24hr now, but the stakes are high.
