Cape Cod hotels are pretty plain compared to what you might find in other beach resort areas (Hilton Head etc) because most of them are 50+ years old. Unless you want to stay at an Inn?
The Sea Crest is one of Kevin's faves and it's right on Old Silver Beach. It's only about a 10 minuted drive to downtown Falmouth. Buzzards Bay, so water is much warmer than outer Cape.
I would say you can't go wrong with either P-town or Falmouth for best variety. I love outer Cape Provincetown/Truro for the beaches and P-town has plenty to do and great people watching. Falmouth area has a great downtown and short drives to lots of beaches and nature and easy day trip access to Martha's Vineyard. It's also more of a year round working town so the prices are not quite as outrageous as outer Cape.
Anyway, can't go wrong with either. If you choose Falmouth let me know and I can give you a long list of recommendations. I grew up spending summers in N Falmouth so I'm quite familiar with that part of the Cape.
It’s the model I watch every SWFE to know where my upper snow limits are getting pinned by ML temps. It usually has me pinging 1 - 2 hours before any other model.
The WAA moisture will be hitting a wall, so let’s just see the trends on the ML temps over the next few sets of model runs.
I mean Jeezuz, I am at 0 / -14 at 10pm. That is some arctic air this thing will be running into at first.
Oh' man, Amherst is tough. My first go round in W MA was in the early 90's and I couldn't believe the snow difference when I moved from the Amherst/Belchertown line up to Leverett. Amherst is such a snow hole. Northampton gets more snow even though they are basically on the river.
Ice fishermen are out on Barton Cove on the Connecticut River. Smaller rivers have lots of ice flows in them this morning.
The only upside of not having much snow covered this week is that the ice is getting thick quickly on the ponds and lakes. A few inches of snow tends to slow that down a little bit.
