...I'd even guess a middle aged male with latency/self-identity issues ... trying to lure posters into a PM scenario to test role playing fantasies ..  Dating sites are notorious for that kind of crap... stringing people along for either nefarious criminal intent, or psycho-babble fantasy/role-playing using non-suspecting targets ... 

It's not that uncommon - there was a poster on here a few years ago, pretty sure dating back to Eastern.  I think "she" hailed from Uxbridge ... "central_masswx" was the alias if memory serves ... one that time cannot erode from my mind soon enough. This individual began PM'ing me out of the blue ... Content played the lonely card ... Offering up that she had trouble meeting people ... and I seemed understanding and kind.  I ended up on some sort of photo-bucket account.  '... Want to see what I look like....' - classic.

I mean why not .. right?  And of course what I'm seeing is this sort of blurry image of an uber hot female as she straddles what looks like a pummlehorse amid a play-ground setting ...  You can't write this shit for PH forums.    

Inevitably ... it became tantalizingly serendipitous that we ' ... like all the same things' ... and ( eeewwww) ' you're really handsome.'  

Things got suspicious straight away though from about that point along flirtation course work ...  She wanted to meet, but then would play coy about times and places ... Putting things off by entering flimsy petty reasons...  Only to regroup and act like it was still really going to happen... The coup de grace was when she offered up what really looked inadvertently like "male" turns of phrases - either this, or was an attempt to test.  Not sure...  Not interesting though.  It just became more dubious and eventually it was an easy guess this person was not the person they had purported/illustrated of themselves.  

People do that shit ... it's a phenomenon on social media ... concomitant with the anonymity of the Internet ...  'Identity fraud,' and the reasons they engage are varied.. Be it criminality, or some sort of psycho-babble fantasy role playing.  It's the internet...  this is an intrinsically anonymous stage, lit so brightly that the audience is utterly shrouded in impenetrable blackness of uncertainty as to just who in the hell we "really" are interacting with... Oh, that vast majority of times, Will is Will, Steve is Steve, I'm me, your you, and Kevin's a douche... and we all know and confidently know that - helps that we've met in public from time to time...   But, every so often - heh... never know

I recall that handle name. Sure are a lot of whackos on the interweb

There's timing differences ... but by and large the models seem to agree on wave spacing late in the weekend or early next week.   

May be the last one that offers and winter enthusiastic hope ...  before the book really closes ...

Yeah keeps a sizeable storm.  

This would be something for mid-April.

Profile is isothermal at -1C even at RT 2 in Mass.

Yeah snow for you guys as well. I’ll tell you what, if that were to happen, this is getting close to April ‘87 hydro redux. Hope the melt is slow.

Yeah there's a lot of water in the mountains.  At least the elevations below 1,500ft have seen a slow steady decline but the snowpack is still about at its deepest above 1500ft.  

Then consider the water content across the northern tier of VT/NH/ME... setting up well for some warmth and training thunderstorms in late April to float covered bridges downstream.

 Yeah I know we joke but obviously I do hope about the slow. That’s a lot of water LOL. Interesting pattern at least for April anyways. About as miserable as possible down here with drizzle fog and 42F.

Euro is a fanny pounding early

next week for same spots that got it today. Also, terrible marathon weather.

Its been quite entertaining today listening to folks out and about saying how nice it was yesterday out raking and doing yard work and now complaining its cold and snowing again a day later, I kind have been twisting the knife with a few of them and told them its still not over yet.

Imagine if we got a May 2006 cut-off this year ...?  

One of the eeriest spectacles of that "Mother's Day Flood" was watching the Merrimack topple over the top of the sluice wall up near UML, and the only thing that betrayed the normal 20' plumb drop ...the surface of the water held a stationary wave on the surface.  At that University Ave bridge a mile down stream, the draft is normally 70' to the rocks below ... some times only rivulets of water wending its way around them, .. Yet, at first glance, you'd think you could reach out and touch the seismic tumult churning just below your feet, just below the steel see-through grates and girders of that creepy bridge.  

I don't think that antecedent winter was anything spectacular for Mountain snow ... but I could be mistaken.  Mainly ...  a low cut-off about squarely on top of SNE for couple days, and being on the NE arc...they were pummeled along the head/water shed up in the White Mountains to some 15+ inches not two weeks off climo shedding ... much of which ended up directly into the Basin plus the normal high level that's typical of that river and spring.  It's a real seasonal flow rate water way from my experience having spent university life at UML.

Euro says the fat lady's still has laryngitis.

If that day 8 Euro solution were just a wee bit further south en masse ... April 1 1997 might not be a totally unreasonable analog -

The only trouble is... "day 8"
