Logan11 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 After the sleet it was just a lot of cold heavy rain here. It spiked from 37 to 45 overnight and then fell back down to 38 in a heavy wind swept squall this morning. Gotta love April. LOL OVC day now with a stiff wind and rebounded to 46F . Bleh. Still have snow piles in the yard. A sad reminder of what was. If only Winter was a few months longer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 From a tree pollen allergy sufferers perspective...a several day torch to horrid levels like mid 80s could be just what the doctor ordered. Those kind of patterns out around May 1st tend to burst every lousy bud and bring instant leaf out. It is the best case scenario because you get all the different trees are over with fast. So yeah I'll root for an early heat wave for those reasons as long as it isn't foreshadowing the eventual summer pattern.

moneypitmike Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Just had a shower of something frozen. With the temp of 49.5/31, I guess it must have been small hail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like more substantial returns incoming. Yeah--it was white. At first I thought graupel or sleet. But when I saw the temp, I figured it was hail. How's your fire doing? Just simmering here at this point. The big things I had put on there will likely be smoldering for the next couple of days. 49.4/31.

Snow icon is on:) The fire is a white hot heap right now with the remnants of a dozen huge sections of the big pine I took down. Threw in some gnarly rotten maple just for good measure. I like keeping it as hot as possible so there is little smoke. Starting to have a bit of mix precip right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 I saw one here in Hubbardston on Thurs night. Spent the day in southern RI. Drove through Bristol and Portsmouth and it was gorgeous in that area. At my mom's house on the bay, the wind was rocking but it was very warm and pleasant unless you were right on the beach. She said they got a good amount of thunder last night and winds from the east, which is rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have patches of snow in the woods here and a nice pile left in the backyard. I've seen a few moose in the last couple weeks but oddly no bear yet, I usually see them by now.

Logan11 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 A few weenie piles of snow along the most shaded roadway around here yesterday...may not have survived the deluge. Nothing left on my property. There were very large plowed piles at our town dump last week @ 1400' and I imagine they will last to close to May. Still have patches of snow in the woods here and a nice pile left in the backyard. I've seen a few moose in the last couple weeks but oddly no bear yet, I usually see them by now.
