Not sure how I’d handle a dry, warm Saturday.

Is there anything more exciting than frost on the car in May?

There’s about three people and some black bears that live there.

There’s nothing anyone could possibly get out of that. It means heat on in cars and houses and extreme irritability if they live there.

Weekend looks great.  Heat building early next week - 80s-90 Tuesday and Wednesday looks possible

I drove through the East Quabbin hill towns yesterday.  Wilderness with scattered houses.  It’s so rural. 
Good sandwiches at Petersham Country Store though.

Got down to 32° on the dot this morning.

I was just coming in here to wax the virtue of that synoptic look on Saturday, ...open the app, this is the sentence I see ^

Yeah... sensory overload.  Top 3 day... perhaps taking first place - though it's early in the race.   It feels like a trophy though;  hard to top 74, light wind, lilac aroma sun-gasm weather. 

That's on the backside of the weak nor'easter/closed but still progressive circulation thing later Thur into Fri ( I know you're aware of all that... just sayn' ).   It's a sign of the time having finally escaped the cold breeze hangover pattern.   It seems the oscillation may be mild to warm to mile to warm as opposed to cool to mild... with one or two CC exaggerated days mixed in.
