April Pattern/obs thread.

Looks like spring out here.  The wind is absolutely honking through the plaza.  Easy gusts to 40mph, blowing snow, and a temp of 30F.

Could be any day from this last winter.  Also had to post for ORH/Will... the heated pavers have been turned off for the season :lol:.

Might be a struggle to hit 50 today for many.

And I say this despite the splashes of thus made irrelevant sun of the day ... this is a rock-bottom arrival, like only New England spring is capable of abusing.   

It was like the goal of the pattern all alone to get to this nadir.  40s and wind a week before entry into perennial solar maximum is some kind of bottom dweller day that is almost mocking the former aspect. 

The models were on to it.  They had been marketing a shit look for a long time... really going back over two weeks.  But it seemed every third or forth day, would bounce back - though with steady losses.  66 ... next one 63, 59 .. 56.   Gradually over time ... here we are.

Yeah a couple crappy days, but none of this is at all shocking.  I mean posting pics with bits of snow at a ski resort, is that really surprising???  Maybe in June

Agreed with this. How things have gone should not really be shocking at all. I think we've just been spoiled by some of the anomalously warm springs we had gone through over the past 10-15 years. Does it blow...it absolutely blows, I think everyone is tired of chilly weather and cold winds...especially when we've had the pleasure of having some very nice days and warm temperatures but we've seen nothing out of the ordinary this spring.

Annyway ... luckily Sunday's synoptic outlook has been consistent in recent guidance.  

MEX MOS is over 65 at KFIT/KASH/KBED, ...  Synoptics would support at least 7 more than that - maybe this 12z will have shed the climate weighting.   I dunno, but the 2-meter Euro clearly is just the adiabatic/BL mixing temp - it's a retarded product because it doesn't even attempt the slope temp at the bottom of the sounding that goes sharply right for several degrees.  So that 66 could easily be 70 .. 72 with zip cloud RH, and +11 925 mb

Yeah, it's so rare that we get a "great" April nevermind May.  Hopefully we break out into some 70's and 80's in a couple weeks.

Based on how the past several years have transpired I would fully expect that we flip the switch and go right into summer-mode probably sometime in June. This seems to have been the theme the past several years. I know going the base of consistency is never the best route to go but until something breaks this it's a plausible way to think.

Yeah it's not shocking in the least.  Late season cold pool overhead, some mountain snows, chilly/breezy weather elsewhere.  I don't think anyone has been "shocked" ha.

There's also room for perspective -

Teeeechnically this is an anomalous air mass.   So... it's not like we should be couching this and/or snow into any sense of "normalcy" for April 28. Thing is, 2000+ elevations ... will have a climo that is cut out from the valley floors but you know that...blah blah notwithstanding.

In fact, it's 44 in what has evolved into a partly to mostly sunny splashed mid day down here, where it is climate to be 65... Even if we make 50, talking -15 during the existential period of the diurnal cycle.   Maybe not shocking, but definitely unjust - haha.   

It may snow at those elevations up your way into May, but it can do so up that way without it being in the mid 40s east of the Berk's down here, just the same.

Ha, ...know what it is?  It's like we shouldn't be shocked that it is shockingly bad - lol
