At least it’ll be windy at all elevations. People at jay go nuts when the freezer is on hold and it’s just breezy at the base. They have no idea it’s gusting to 60 at tower 16.

Yeah, we've got the Haychute on the Quad and Tower 23 on the Gondola as exposed problem areas.  Going over the Haychute the view is amazing to the north, one of the best in all of ski country IMO.  Looking right at Mansfield and the Notch... but that exposure to any wind out of the north means the gusts just rock the chair and hit the line perpendicular.  It seems like that's what happens on the upper Flyer spans too at Jay.  The tram, forget about it in any escalated flow.  That thing is in the free air.

So what about the rest of the day? Other than over the Cape and
Islands as mentioned above, cloud cover continues to scatter
out to more of a partial to mostly cloudy look, with peeks of
sun to varying degrees. Modest W/WNW breezes to around 25 mph
are possible in this post-frontal partial clearing period. I`d
imagine sky and wind gust conditions probably take on a similar
look for most of the day; until we see a bit more of an increase
in cloud cover later this aftn and tonight as approaching upper
low from the Gt Lakes moves in. That may bring some isolated to
scattered showers into CT and southern RI late this aftn but no
washouts.

4pm update

So for tonight, the robust closed low over northern PA is expcted to
move into the southern coastal waters through the late-evening
hours. As this feature moves eastward, expect an increase/fill-back-
in of cloud cover towards a mostly cloudy look. In addition there
looks to be a pretty concentrated area of convective showers that
mainly projects to affect the southern waters by sundown thru late
evening, but could extend as far north as the Hartford-Providence-
southeastern MA area. Because of the cold air aloft, steep low-level
lapse rates could bring some convective enhancement with a narrow
ribbon of 50-100 J/kg of MUCAPE in the NAM guidance; that may
including the potential for graupel or perhaps a flash or two of
lightning. Day Cloud Phase RGB imagery over PA was indicating some
mixed phase glaciation to the current field of convective clouds,
which could lend credence to this potential. Higher-res convective-
permitting solutions really do blossom this region of heavier
showers during the 22-04z timeframe, though most of it is over the
southern coastal waters. Otherwise, dry weather is expected
elsewhere through midnight.

27°, snow on the ground, snow in the air. So this is what winter feels like?

It's wild.  It hasn't snowed decently in at least 3 weeks.  And it has been an utter torch.  That was a long stretch without a decent snowfall for this area in peak climo time of year for snowfall.

Sucks that we finally get some '60s and it's ruined by rain or showers over the weekend.

We are long over due for a 2-3 week stretch of dry weather; who knows when that will come?!?

Some folks were claiming no more snow for SNE back in February and temps 75 to 80. Glad you didn't listen.
