The maples flower than send leaves out. I don't count tiny green buds as leaf out....I'm talking full out leaves. There will be trees with some leaves, but I don't think leaf out is possible..unless we just torch the first half of April

Oh, I am not thinking my area would be fully leafed until a little later, but Nature seems confused this week.Needs a good old fashioned Winter b**ch Slap

Well at first people were saying 4/1 which is Mayan type stuff. I'm sure they'll be some maples with leaves on 4/15 since we had a crazy jump start.

Things continue to look better for more snow. Kevin is going to be dumbfounded. Can't believe he took such a sucker bet.

Hey Pete! Playing golf again on Friday if I can get enough work done. How much snow is on the way?

12z GFS is high entertainment value....essentially a 1997 redux. Stalled out blizzard for first few days of April.

Mostly rain in eastern mass while orh and on west measure in the feet, lock it. Perfect book end for 2011-2012.

lol, That would only be fitting to put the icing on the cake for this season, To bookend the season, Started off with the biggest storm of the year in October for a lot of folks to end with one of the same magnitude in April

We usualy aren't fully leafed out here until after may 1st...but some years we can make pretty good progress by 4/20-25 or so where more than 50% are out. There is really no sign of anything yet at all here with the exception of those bushes with thorns on them that are getting that tinge of green look.

I'm surprised you aren't seeing anything. During my drive from Concord to Pepperell late yesterday I noticed many trees starting to flower (buds on them), especially the oaks and many of the bushes etc too. It looks to me like we are a solid 3 weeks ahead of schedule. If we ever did get an early April snowstorm......yikes. I don't even want to consider the power outage implications. Have had enough of that after the ice storm and then the Oct snowstorm. Of course, my bad for not buying a generator yet.

On a more realistic note in the shorter term, it looks like Monday night could be a hard freeze for most people here. Hopefully nobody started planting delicates.

I've been telling people here that. The soil temp wouldn't be high enough for anything frost-sensitive to grow anyway.

Yeah anyone in the interior would be a fool to plant anything before mid April anyway...but even on the coast near Boston it is not safe to do in late March. But I've heard (not necessarily on this forum) people talking about getting their gardens going early with this weather and I was like "uh, you might want to hold off on that if they can't handle a freeze"

No snow/no snow of consequence inside of 200 hours...anything else beyond that, who cares.

Well the period the weeklies hit and then the ensembles (as we got closer) was the last couple days of March and into the first 10-14 days of April...so that is what we are waiting for right now. I wouldn't expect it to show anything before that except for far NNE where they have a shot on 3/26-3/28.

Right now most of the OP run commentary is just entertainment and tongue-in-cheek. But I'm not shocked to see some of those solutions appearing on and off in the long range as we get a tad closer...the building high-amplitude ridge in the plains during thistime of year and the downstream western Atlantic is certainly a cut-off pattern...so I'd expect a few interesting model runs if that keeps up getting closer.
