People must be so happy down there. Lots of smiling faces for the last minute shoppers. Shorts and t-shirts while walking into the mall with no shivers at all. Car windows down and arm hair blowing in the breeze. Do the dew.

 

There are a few people complaining about the lack of snow but most people seem thrilled. Was out running errands in short sleeves - felt nice. Now I'm doing stuff around the house with a few of the windows open.

Drove Rt 2 from Greenfield and the snow pack was essentially gone between Athol and Fitchburg.

 

I'm sure I'll arrive home to carnage tonight.

 

Friend of mine who lives in near Keene, NH told me it was almost 60 at his house in Sullivan and 40 in downtown Keene.  (8 miles!)

 

Its still holding tight  with a few inches, Chris (3 maybe?).  Still gross, though.  I'd love it if a cooler batch would manage to work it's way thorugh the hills.

 

52.5/52, fog now limited to about 5-10' agl.

I think it's interesting how we're all impressed by the cold air drainage but yet at the same time the temperatures on the other side of that boundary are in the mid 60's in late December. 850mb temps from 14-16C I think is even more impressive.

No doubt that's much more impressive and extremely anomolous. I find the mesoscale aspect of a bdcf interesting though.

I don't think anyone is impressed by the cold...just the gradient along that boundary and how shallow it is. The warmth and N NY/VT icing are the main stories.

Holy sh*t.  I just noticed the dew hit 59F in ORH and tickled 60F in some places further south.  Wow, anyone know how to find out record dew points for late December?  That's gotta be close.  That's actually humid.

 

 

Most of the record highs are like this December with southerly flow and rain.

I decided to take 91 to the pike vs route 2 given the fog further north. Pike area snow stripped bare with the car thermo as hgh as 66 at one point, east end of Charlton things changed. As I approached Worcester from the west snow cover returned gradually until it was full in the pike area around Worcester. Temps plummeted from the east side of Charlton on in. Interesting to be sure. I thnk the mix out and rain tomorrow may strip off a lot of the snow remaining but we'll see.

Rt 2 was under 1/4 vis in places this morning.  Not looking forward to ride home tonight.

Drove back up from Pembroke, crazy fog commenced at the Braintree interchange, thinned out closer to the City. South-shore was blazing Spring conditions today, up to approx 1pm then the slow drain started. Not even banks survived. Home pack is similar to Will's pic. Still snow on ground as of this writing.
