Finishing +3 in March is climbing out of a deep winter hole with -5 in Jan and February 

Break out the banana hammocks.

Classic CNE spring frustration next week

Banking on some crap weather but also that the near freezing temps are bogus.

expecting upper 30’s to low 40’s.

I’m good as long as then greening up of the landscape can proceed.

[jbenedet]

I’m seeing the leaf buds on pretty much all species of trees around downtown here so looks like commitment is in for the early leaf out.

[jbenedet]

Mid week, with big Canadian surface high but it’s locked up north thanks to the mid level jet.

Winds aren’t out of the north so should sell the severe cold anoms and just plan for low 40’s…

Get out the patio furniture

Meh, we still will ebb and flow between kinda nice and kinda shitty for a time.

Gotta be a top 3 or 4 worst March

Warm when we wanted it cold.  Cold when we wanted it warm.  And mostly snowless

[SouthCoastMA]

Looks like shite after Wed

[Torch Tiger]

Great March. Little to no snow and wasn't cold, lfg!

[SouthCoastMA]

Easter egg hunt with some drizzle and temps in upper 30s . sounds beautiful

Summed up perfectly.

Still ice here in N ORH if you know where to find it! Definitely the last day though.

Tremendously dumb.

Lol at the PFD on the ice.

How thick is the ice? One thing I liked about spring fishing you didn't have to dig through 2 feet of ice.

We never put it away. Paid the price bigly of course

Right near shore it was actually over 10". The thinnest I went to was 4", as that's minimum safe thickness. The cold temps the last two nights actually really hardened and locked it up pretty good  The PFD is for when I go test the thickness lol. This place is only like 6 ft deep as well.

So, at worst you'd get an ice-cold dunk and drag your ass to shore. I friend of mine fell through ice and the water was about 5-6 feet, we dragged him out, problem was it was single digits and his clothes turned to ice taking him home.

Bents/Sawyers Pond in HUBB is basically ice free.

Surprisingly windy today.  Trying to clean up leaves and had quite a few gusts around 25. At least it was warm in the sun.

[CoastalWx]

Ice melted days ago. Almost 2 weeks ago.

Yes. It was a horrible and very disappointing March. Winter just gave up after that storm late last month. Usually it puts up much more of a fight until the equinox

Those are weak records for 4/1.

How’s next winter looking? Should we brace ourselves for a Super Nino?

[CoastalWx]

This coming week has major ass signals NoP for sure. Tuesday going down the tubes. Good luck at DAW.

I certainly don't think we should be resigned to it.

Last trace of snow at the end of my driveway melted out today.

Just saw your thread about next winter. If a 2002-03 season happens then I’d be over the moon
