lol. You guys are in APF now? You should hit Foxboroughs for lunch with fellow New England weenies. We lived in the River Reach complex right next to APF airport. There’s decent shopping downtown there.
No norways in my neighborhood, but the forsythia are near peak. My white willow is leafing out, but that’s about it. I have a feeling everything pops at once next week. At least the grass looks like Ireland.
idk...the labrador current creates a pretty big delta for us this time of year. it’s nowhere near this bad at any point in the season down in the coastal mid atlantic.
Same deal PWM

No, but I assume they were manual gauges back in the 60s. It was just a different time back then. The early 60s were a legit drought. We all know how the 80s sucked. It's almost nbd now to pull off a 50" precip year up here now.
CON's normal annual precip for 1961-1990 was only 36.37". 1981-2010 has gone up to 40.61".
Since 2002, they've only had 1 year with less precipitation than that 36.37" total (2016).
A nice April is more about rain/clouds vs sun rather than temps. 55/45 days with rain are warmer but trash. 60/35 with sun is cooler but nice. Also, the real warmth was confined to a handful of days with mostly torched mins. 80%+ of the days were hanging around either side of normal with lots of rain and clouds.
