Conversely, from mid June to mid August 2008 (I think that was the year), we could not get clean CFROPA at all in the NEUS, and the tstm action was pretty sweet!

Yup..it happens.

Probably a top 2-3 Napril stretch ever . 3 days of 80’s , even tomorrow and Saturday 70+.. dews, storms, AC, everything blooming and leafing . I’ll fondly recall this one 

2023’s was more impressive imo…was a gorgeous mid summer week..like this, but there was a day in there that was mid/even upper 90’s. 

But..yes, this has been fabulous.

Had nice white VIL core on Radarscope for two scans.  Usually, that is enough for a SVR.

We’ve hit 75F for a max so far.

Finally gotten in on the fun.

Awesome day up your way, fair amount of fog shifting around run to run but super chill with a good bunch of peeps.  Hayride skiers right might have been my fave

[radarman]

Then hit up Treehouse Deerfield on this warm July night, packed.  Folks in short shorts outside.  80 degrees still my goodness

this winter was great..  and that's about when we usually lose it anyway.. sun angle starts to be a bit much by then

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

If next week is sunny, it won’t be too bad. Sure, won’t be 80s, but 60-65 and sun is good

The afternoon turned out surprisingly nice.  It’s always crazy to ski when it’s that mild and humid.  Snowpack crying for its mama.

This outta help, ha.

Yeah, it's over.  Good luck making it to Sunday.  Groomers can do magic but I had two locals tell me today was their last day.

It actually looks really nice. Anything but rain.

Looks like CEF hit 90 as well as BDL. Impressive day around here.

Next week is shit for all. Although I will add that we may get a couple of decent NW flow days late week once the core of the cold passes. Anything with sun is a plus.

Not me. I’ll be in Aruba.

Just had a thunderstorm roll through here. Pretty heavy rain and some rock salt sized hail.

Earlier this afternoon and evening was very nice. Got my first 9 holes of the year in.

I was there tonight and plenty of us were outside in shorts.  
 

what an amazing light show earlier!  
Incredible non-stop flashes over the hills to my NW.

Reports from ME/NH/VT absolutely spectacular LTG show for April this evening, and still going strong Downeast ME as I type this!  Find me an event in April w/ more CGs in several hours in New England!

I checked the mid-level lapse rates plots on the NAM, nothing special, but that is 700-500.  If you look at 750-600 on the soundings, they were  as high as 7.0 C/km. so there you go. MUCAPE ahead of the SQLN were as high 1500, most of it elevated.  0-6 km shear 50-60 kt.

Even CoastalWx *has* to be impressed!  He recalls the crazy LTG shows that overnight in Feb 2016 RI/SE MA?

Basically a ring of fire in April this week.  Strong ridge SEUS and direct feed flow straight from Plains to put an EML into NEUS.  BDF?, no problem!
