Tropopause_Fold Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If I recall correctly..didn't some trees in the valley have some leaves by late March? i don't remember - but it was a +7 at BDL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I embrace and love all weather. It bothers me immensely. To have that time of year wasted by sheet drizzle is just horrible. Nothing I enjoy more than having dinner outside with a nice cocktail, but unfortunately the only time you can do that is during the summer and early fall, when mosquitoes are right there...ready to gnaw your arm off and fly it back to their nest.

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I embrace and love all weather. I don't mind a cool, damp spring. Summer '09 would be great to have happen again, but I don't think that is in the cards. Ijust so prefer cold weather over hot, but have no problem with people who think differently. No sense arguing about it. I, for one, really enjoy most of Messenger's posts, even if they predict less wintery outcomes than I would prefer. He (and even BIrving to some extent) are just giving their views on models and what they see. Could they be a little less sarcastic? Maybe, but we all do that. Even level headed folks sling the mud on here. Our part of the board is really a great thing to take part in and hopefully folks will take the barbs down a notch (unless they put emoticons like in them, or use the word "terribke") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Wow. I just read few a few days worth of posts and it got ugly in here. Somehow Ray's accident became a bone of contention (a year later), A little bit of Will bashing going on from Scott. Kind of crazy. Too bad it has to go down that way. Weak weather calls for weak discussion. Anyway, Hopefully we can pull something out of the bag of tricks for mid-month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 For the record, I did notice some bare ground around here within 15 feet of the roadway, on a very steep, due south-facing embankment that has a dense evergreen canopy overhead, so the snow never actually makes it to the ground surface. Just wanted to throw that out there. That is with a consistent snowpack of 27-28" at 800ft and 31" at 1,500ft. And I beat you to the twitter vids by 12 hours (the one at the top of the trail and the one from the condo) Where were you for those? The second one was amazing.

Are you referring to more of a coastal front issue? I can't imagine springs are too bad around here given the distance from the ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 LOL..how about those days when it's 65 at BDL and 42 at BOS on a spring day? Exactly. I'll never forget the time two years ago in late March or early April. It was in the low 70s when I left work. Heading south on 93 I got to the Medford line where you can start to see the city about 10 miles or so away. I'm not kidding....there was this low cloud just oozing in off the water...like something from a horror movie. I've never scene anything like it. The temp plummeted to like 44F..lol within miles. I'm not a big fan of the heat, so I enjoy pleasant temps. That's why it bothers me..because that is the time of year to get those temps. I appreciate fall because I feel like we make up for the lousy springs near the coast. Anyways, we have endured a stretch of really lousy Springs other than last year so maybe we are due for a few good ones. However, I'm not feeling this year..but who knows. Maybe climo tries to balance out and deliver a decent Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allenson Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I embrace and love all weather. The best way to look at it in my humble opinion. Sure, we all have our own preferences, but all weather is interesting in its own right. There ain't a damn thing we can do about it, so we might as well roll.

Are New England springs that much different than Buffalo or Oswego springs? good question. i would say yes they are worse but i can't say for sure. i'm sure a SW wind blowing across lake erie sucks in april. spring is one of those seasons here where you have to divide the region by longitude. from the CT river westward spring can be pretty darn nice in new england. east of there, it can be pretty bad. multiple ways to send Tip into the garage...whether it's a cut-off, backdoor, HP in NNE - we just end up with a lot of days where we can't shake either a. the low level moisture and cool onshore flow or b. just get screwed by 41F SSTs.

Yeah true, you can get those chilly sw winds off the water. Blackstone at least is inland to avoid those days of 10-15 kt seabreeze type deals. Back door fronts are the ones to watch out for. Some years we can't avoid them. We were in the mid-upper 40s with a nor'easter on Memorial Day 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in the mid-upper 40s with a nor'easter on Memorial Day 2005. That's Tips favorite memory. He's made about 30 posts over the yrs about that spring. That was the year we moved into this house(May of 2005) We had rented one of the pods to do as much of it ourselves as possible. Jen was 7.5 months pregnant with my 2nd daughter..so I had to do everything. I remember packing that thing up in just miserable conditions over a 2 week period. It seemed like it rained almost everyday..topped off by that damaging noreaster. Awful awful spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
