HIPPYVALLEY

42° with windswept showers here right now. Debating whether I should fire up the woodstove or not.

Oh, OK. I wasn’t considering any of the dynamics of cold season verse warm season. Just looking at the radar shaking my head. Lol.

46° in Greenfield with steady light rain, but somewhat bright cloud deck.

If this were a snowstorm, west of River would be getting porked.

I mean, I hope that somebody that wants to see snow, legit sees snow in the next two days. I am a diehard winter lover, but I am ready for warmer weather and a healthy garden.. I want low 80s and dew points in the 30s.

Nice trends towards a bit less precip here. Tomorrow will be as bad as it can gets, with regard to late May raw in SNE.

Yet we can’t buy these early deformation bands along RT 2 in winter.

As Kevin would say, I hope those who asked for this are happy.

I just did a 2 mile walk with the dog and it is chilly. 48° with a light breeze.

Effing brutal, I’m supposed to chaperone my kids class at Six Flags on Wednesday.

This will be the storm everybody watered this winter.

Ineedsnow will be trying to book a cabin up at Savoy SP.

That end of May early June period looks more promising. Far enough out that I don't trust it yet but most modeling showing a heat signal. Not sure of the duration tho'...

West is best for Saturday.

South Shore rain jackpot incoming. Congrats!

Oh good, just started getting some low-level sheet drizzle. Really adds to the charm of the day.

We aren't seeing any sustained high heat and humidity until at least mid-June, which, at that point, is kind of climo for SNE anyway. I think we will get our share of swamp ass days but mostly 80's not 90's. Lame severe season and then lame tropical season is a general rule. I'm not an ACATT guy. I like a warm summer and warm summer nights, just not extended periods of gross humidity. However, I guess I'm probably one of the few here, that is fine with sub-zero temps in the winter with no snow on the ground. Weather is fun, enjoy what you get.

The last completely rain free weekend in Greenfield was in March.

Some nasty cells skirting just south of Greenfield.

I believe this video is from Stowe that weekend:

Yeah, I just got back from a walk and pulled two big deer ticks and one big dog tick off of doggo.

Western Massachusetts is enjoying a banner tick year. So that’s fun.

Next week looks cool and I don’t mean in a Keanu Reeves kind of way.

36° this morning to 82° this afternoon is one of the biggest swings I’ve ever seen here.
