  1. Good morning and thank you TK. Happy Easter.
    Will be a busy day again today. 😀

    Looks like we may escape early April without any snow other than a possible
    snow shower/flurry. So far anyway.

    In that case let’s warm things up.

  6. Happy Easter!!
    Easter starting out chilly compared to Christmas Day which was on the mild side.

  12. 44.4, just about to start preparing dinner. Wife is seasoning the roast. 😀
    Yum yum yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I need to chop onions and potatoes.

    1. Roast of beast? Yummy. We are having a disjointed dinner as two grands are sick. Best part is I can just get in car and pop over to older daughter’s. Maybe for all family Easter dinner we will do a roast. Thanks.

  13. The latest CPC outlook is for well below normal temps for at least the first 10 days of April and normal precip so I am not giving up hope for one last snow just yet. An inch or two will be just fine with me. 🙂

    1. Can’t say there is any surprise about the upcoming chill. Been advertising it for some time now. 🙂

      You may get your inch or 2 of snow as there will be a few opportunities, brief and fleeting, but there nevertheless.

          1. I’d wouldn’t mind a storm like last weeks so I can watch from here. But then again, sitting outside today, I’d love that weather too.

  14. Philip,

    That CPC outlook has to be read correctly. I know there are deep deep blues on the map. However, that does not really show HOW below normal those temps are. It doesn’t really mean well below normal, slightly below, well above, etc. It’s a probability that temps are above or below normal at any given time. The darker the color, the higher the PROBABILITY of abnormal temps. It could be only 5 degrees below normal for a high, 2 degrees, or 10 degrees below or above, but the probability could be 90%, hence a dark blue or dark red color on the map.

    That said, I don’t think the cold lasts too long. The EPO is progged to flip signs around the 4th to positive, no negative NAO to speak of so the pattern stays progressive, the AO doesn’t appear to to go as deeply negative either, if at all (granted there are negative members of the ensembles that go negative, but the trend is neutral). And I still don’t think the cold will end up as deep as modeled. The euro love to deepen that cold out of Canada.
    What interests me is the slightly warmer air forecasted for next week coincides with the nadir of the EPO. Interesting to see how the latter part of our this week pans out. Over all I think things flip in a couple of weeks. Not an all out torch, but probably to more consistent seasonal temps. For warmer weather lovers like myself, the thing to hang onto is, climo won’t be denied.

    Long time lurker here.

    1. Thanks for the post! It’s somewhat anomalous to see so much progression into Spring though certainly not unheard of. I do generally agree with you about the ECMWF looking more ominous with regards to cold than it probably will turn out. I see it more as a series of short-lived cool to cold shots. Any snow would occur as snow showers most likely but a period of snow could take place if a well-timed wave accompanied the coldest air.

      Though I tend to have a bias of forecasting pattern changes too soon, I do think we flip to the warmer side of normal during the second half of April.

  15. It’s a nice area. Very quiet. I drive to Boston everyday, Cambridge actually, so the commute is a little tough. But the cost of housing and the quiet lifestyle make up for it. The weather out here can be a bit different from the forecast in Boston as you might imagine. We get warmer in the spring since there’s no sea breeze most of the time. Boston can be stuck at 45 and raw and my weather station reports 63. The valley also tends to be a snow jackpot sometimes. That ana frontal we got back in January dumped over 10 inches. We go below zero a little more than Boston obviously, but you’ll also find the stats from Worcester for temp and snowfall might not match what you see either. The stats come from Worcester airport at 1000 feet. I think your in Sutton, so the elevation there is probably under 500 feet.

    1. I’m enjoying the quiet. I’ve always been more of a small town person. I think our elevation is around 700 ft. My daughter lives in Uxbridge so we are fairly familiar with the area on that side of us. I’m going to explore some this week. My son in law drives to Wellesley ans my son to Boston and it is a hike. So nice to “meet” you and have you posting here.

  17. Blackstone…Thanks, I need to stop reading too much into those CPC colors especially the deep ones. Don’t be a stranger. We welcome you! 😀
