Yeah no thanks . We like solid IPA’s and doubles for 6-8 bucks 

Then please, if you are concerned with beer selection, then step up and rally everybody to go to "Dive Bar" in Worcester or Armsby Abbey.  Both places have rotating beer lists beyond liquids you are even familiar with.

I haven't been in this casino yet. 

Me neither.

Enjoy today/tomorrow.   LR looks like more of the same wet pattern. 

We had about an hour of full sun before clouds rolled in.  

 WNE apparently just has winter and rainy season and that's it.

Beautiful here at the moment. Mostly sunny and up to 64. Summer!

Pouring here and 52F 

This micro-neurosis in this thread are all at once; entertaining, catalyzing for spirited and often great academic weather discussion and sometimes a head scratching facepalm.

Horror story on the 18z oper. GFS...

Basically ... 45 F mist and rain from next Wednesday morning until through the following weekend....  

I think I would actually sacrifice the vagarious nature of the weather and the romantic uncertainty of snow storms in the charts and the whole game we play ... if it means controlling the weather in such a way to jam that f'n bullshit right up god's ass!

The funny thing is, a few of us weenies along with a red tagger or two, maybe including you(?) like to joke about the -NAO showing up in April after it was a no-show all winter but I feel like we have done this dance a few times in the past 10-15 years.   We have a winter pattern that would be naked back flips "if only that blocking had been in place" and then it shows up 60 days too late to give anyone in NE that HECS but just in time to throw April and May into the weenie purgatory of clouds and 50F.

This would have been a great pattern back in Jan-Feb.

Please.  Don't.

I don’t.  Too warm.  Drop that 10F.

Just drop that DP to 85/45 and I am good to go all summer.  High and dry!

This weekend is poop. Already a bust.

JFC,  make it stop! it has rained on one of the weekend days for  as long as I can recall. 

 Nothing says mid spring like 44° and drizzle.

First time in 10 years golfing I can’t play a round on my birthday weekend because of poor conditions. Great spring.

Pretty much chance of showers almost every day.

Looking forward to picks of wet snow sliding off Subaru’s at Smuggs with a detailed account of every 100’ increase in elevation.

Somebody let Ray know, he hates to miss those events.

CMC operational wants no part of warm spring weather and GFS is spotty mild ups at best.  Enjoy.

Why don't you destroy them before they hatch?

 He likes destruction, maybe he wants a dead oak to fall on his house during a windstorm? 

 A Saturday or Sunday afternoon at MGM in Springfield would be fun.

45F...Memorial Day weekend a month away

Yup, heat kicked on tonight.

 Oh good, it's pouring again.   I am starting to have PTSD flashbacks to last summer and fall.

The final weeks.  It does take forever to really finish off.  The humid stretches last week really torched it.

Still a lot of water stuck in the mud and high elevation snow.  You don't want a high qpf event.

The weather forecasts for the Nashville area have not been accurate at all. Im wondering if the models are struggling for this area or the meteorologists down here just are subpar compared to New England. We had 2 unforecasted frosts. The forecasted high temps have been way off. 2 weeks ago we hit the upper 80s, almost 90 and that was way underforecasted, and the convection forecasts have been crap.

Models struggling to handle the transition into grand solar minimum?

I like W Falmouth beaches, except for the crowds....water temps sometimes mid-hi 70's, sandy not rocky, etc. 

Chappy, Old Silver, S. Cape Beach St Park are all nice

2-3 cubs is the norm, but 4s aren't all that unusual and even 5s have been recorded.  Those 2 cubs look like yearlings - ones born this past winter would be housecat-size, or smaller.
 

Going back through the pictures and videos today there are definitely at least 5 and it almost looked like 3 different sizes.  I assume they must all be the same family?   I definitely will be very careful with compost bins and food items the next few weeks.
