ORH_wxman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 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?

Damage In Tolland Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Sunday-Tues next week look like early summer with 70's. No slouch tomorrow with the torch spots tickling 70..but the strong winds will meh that down somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 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.

Brian5671 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The silly temp talk is back....lol. I'm going to look forward to some nice wx this week. anything else we should talk about? Whether there's 4 clouds instead of 5? It comes with the territory this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 anything else we should talk about? Whether there's 4 clouds instead of 5? It comes with the territory this time of year. Well the debate of whether it's 64 or 68 is mind numbing. Maybe some love to talk about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 Sneaky signal for some strong SE winds tonight. Gusts 45-50mph. Hopefully enough to take down a few weaker trees etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 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.

nzucker Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The 8th-9th was not a strong signal at all even 8 days out or whatever it was. Pattern is great for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That storm destroyed the PV and led us out of the cold/dry March pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Englander Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It is nice to not have red flag warnings up this yr (so far) as we have had in recent dry, mild stretches of spring in recent years...... Cloudy out but pretty mild right now. 55 with a light Southerly wind. Not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 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. 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.
