I don’t live in VT. My pool experience is from decades of living near MHT. We always opened Memorial Day weekend, but we never used it until mid June because no one wanted to go in 65-70° water.
I’m not getting near a pool in May without a heater.
I feel like our true seasons line up well with the astrological ones. Deep winter is gone by 3/21, consistent summer temps by 6/21, first 30s around 9/21, and the pack establishing by 12/21.
I was referencing the euro the other day, but it’s been on its own warmer for Monday. NCEP, rgem, ukie all are record cold afternoon mins (still gotta watch the early 5z), but the euro looks decently warmer.
18z 925 temps…euro versus the field.
29F in CON in 1966.
With bare ground idk if we do it. We're getting to the point where we have to tack on a couple on the 18z 2m temps wit sun and bare ground. 4/9/97 at CON was 29F but that had -20C 850s getting near the Lakes Region. On the 6z euro it's a good 4C warmer.
I'll say no records, but cold enough to be annoying. Gotta watch for an early, cheap 5z high as well if the CAA doesn't come in fast enough.
