What a trip. Deep winter with Fabulous conditions, and riding. Was a great way to end the season.  Now it can be spring. 

 

Looks a little thin and icy in this pic

25F for the low.

But like it was a warm 25. Felt like the type of morning you wear shorts because you know it will be warm by 10a.

That was in Canada where they were doing some cutting/logging, so that’s why it looks a little icy.  After that 200 yard section is was perfect.

It is so strange to see where we are in March. Other than far Northern New England, this is going to be a Snowless March. I thought for sure we would have had some Snows this month. Super bummed, but over it. I'm on to next Winter just to do this crazy mental ride again ( but with all you Mo-Fo's )!! 

On the positive side.... Temps today in the mid to upper 60's!!!!!!! Wow!

We're presently 6 degrees behind yesterday and today is supposed to be warmer.

There’s marine taint for sure. We’ve been stuck in perineum stratus most of the morning.

what we really need is to have it be after the equinox sun intensity -   too early to rely on ole sol when it's tepidly low in the sky until noon.  yeah we're out of the solar min, but the transition is still on the weak end

A bit of fog. 36F

I was going to say that it looked plowed for a logging operation.

Get out there and tan. Greta season has begun.

It’s sunny, but we’re struggling to mix out in the foothills. Low 40s right now.

Exactly.  It couldn’t have gotten any better to be honest(besides that logging area..and that was fine)…conditions were outstanding. Was a Great way to end the season.

Anything above 50 is shorts wx with a hoodie/ long sleeve etc. Winter done 

Other than for swimming, I haven't worn shorts in about 50 years.  Between the puckerbrush and the blackflies, not a good choice for bushwhacking thru the Maine woods.

That is an intriguing severe weather setup Friday. Only real negative is its still a bit too early for those juicy dews but the southern flank of that risk area...southern Arkansas into western TN could be prime for discrete supercells and strong tornadoes. That is going to be one major widespread damaging wind event though

March 2023 (27" here) begs to differ

[weatherwiz]

If not for the later timing, we probably would eventually see a marginal risk here Sunday...BOOOOOOOO

Even in NNE, March has a Jekyll-Hyde character for snowfall.  The past 5 years March has averaged 16.6", close to the 26-year average of 17.4", but year-to-year variability is wacky:
20   15.5"
21     0.1"
22   10.0"
23   27.9"
24   29.3"  (27" after the equinox)
