awesone Will what a bluebird wonder,lots of skiing peeps gloating and still buzzing about today

 

 

It was awesome...classic spring day unlike 2 weeks ago Sunday River. They were both awesome in their own right. Sunday River has flawless mid-winter conditions (as you saw too), and today was classic spring with firm in the morning and everything softened up nicely but not to the point of almost slush.

 

Bumps were nice in the afternoon....and how can you go wrong with that view of Mount Washington from the slopes right in front you as you ski down?

I think we'll fall shy. Around here most records are in the MU10s. First Lake is -4F. They may have a better chance up there with snowcover remaining.

 

Farmington's record for 4/10 is zero, set in 1977.  Even with about 2' remaining snowpack (though it's losing albedo daily), they will probably be 15+ degrees off that mark.

 

Flood watch for south and central Maine for the upcoming RA.  IMO, the snowpack is still short of full ripeness and able to soak up most of a 1" event, but there may be enough runoff to pop the ice on the Sandy and Carrabasset, putting ice jam flooding in play.  Ice on the Sandy was still looking white and tight yesterday, so a flush that makes it run tomorrow would have lots of solid jam-dam material to make a mess.

Sneaky signal for some strong SE winds tonight. Gusts 45-50mph. Hopefully enough to take down a  few weaker trees etc

 

 

I'm generally not enthused about a SE flow off of frigid waters in April to get higher winds.

 

 

Maybe some of the exposed beaches.

What snow threat?

A lot of people were talking about the 8th/9th as a snow opportunity, especially north of the pike, but it turned into more of a warm cut-off tracking well to the west and bringing some rain through.

 

Pattern really broke down after the superstorm. Temperatures have been near average this April, not bitter cold as they were in March.

That's been dead for a week like Will said. There will be some snow in southern QB and n ME north of the track though.

that was really out last shot had it been further west.  That storm destroyed the PV and led us out of the cold/dry March pattern

Yeah even with a strong low level jet up to 65kts up here and good downslope wind direction for the west slope communities and BTV suburbs, but the best wind comes in with the rain (as it's the forcing for the rain) so like the NWS said, probably not going to be able to mix down even with orographics providing downward momentum on the lee side.

Lovely mid 90s today for me with dews around 40. Coast was mid 70s at waters edge where I started my day with breakfast sitting in the sun.

 

 

nice!

 

Beats 54F with an east wind and lowering clouds here in BOS. :lol:
