That was a mild night. 57F currently but it was 67F at 2am. Not humid (dews near 50F), just clouds and breeze didn’t allow any radiation at all.
-
73/40 Max of 75F so far. Bottle this up.

You guys have been in the radar firehose all day. Pivot point. Here it’s been 1.00-1.50”… the Worcester Range and SE has been 1.50”+.
-
I’ll let you two speak for each other, ha. I just didn’t see any real difference between those two images so you guys are showing about the same thing IMO.
-
Aren’t those both showing similar things? Admittedly don’t know climo as well, but is BDL like mid-70s around then? So goes from like almost +20 to -5 or so for highs between Tuesday/Wednesday and the weekend?
-
0.74”, with 0.30”/hr steady rain has finally moved in.
-
43F and rain here in town… 40F at 1500ft. 32F at 3600ft. Brutal.

As an online group, weather enthusiasts try to cauterize the shoulder seasons more and more each year. It’s either viewed under a lens where it’s supposed to be really nice and warm outside, or winter.
-
Had a window open here but no fan, ha. Nice crisp A/C like feeling.
-
Had light snow and graupel again today at 1,500ft. Dew points in the low to mid-20s have been quite effective at evaporationally cooling the cores of the showers.

Yeah I know I’ve seen like 3-6” overnight without the ASOS going below 2sm -SN in deep snow growth layer orographic snows. Big arms of dendrites hooking together. Honestly the late January storm yielded like 10” overnight of mid-level fluff at like 1.5”/hr in 3/4sm visibility. Meanwhile the flip side is you get the SWFE poor snow growth needles in a 6-hr QPF dump and struggling to 1.2”/hr snowfall but at M1/4, ha.
-
The 3/4-1.5sm -SN is probably one of the more over-stated weather obs by all. I mean, it can be 1”/hr though too with even decent snow growth at 3/4-1sm. So sometimes hard to fault folks. I will say if any of us started seeing 1.5sm vis -SN right now we’d say it was ripping out, lol. When you haven’t seen snow in a while, a mile and a half is a steady snowfall.

Snowpack is solidly below normal on Mansfield… about 50% of normal for this time of year. Probably got another week or two left.

58F dim sun. Looks like we are reversing our fortune after the past couple days.
