Good morning. Slow these days at good ole WHW.
Starting out pretty mild here as we are up to 57 in JP with DP 43.
Another beauty on tap.
Much running around today and tomorrow is Easter.
Waiting to watch SNL tonight with Jimmy Fallon hosting with Harry Styles
as the musical guest (and sure to be in a couple of skits as well). Harry was formerly
with One Direction.
For those so inclined, he has a moving new solo tune out called βSign of the Timesβ
Here is a link. IF you chose to listen, really listen as the words are very moving.

Listened three times and then found the lyrics to read and listened again. Very moving indeed
If I may share another.
One of my favorite songs…speaking of being here before.
It is important to watch to the very end if you choose to watch that is π

The new giraffe has arrived.
π
It was amazing. I am not a fan of animals in captivity but don’t know if there is a reason she is there. But did learn she is 15 which is around top age of giraffes in the wild. In captivity, 5-10 years can be added to her life.
Thanks TK !
Thank you, TK
most animals in zoos are rescue that will be released back or could not live in the wild due to injury or animals were bread in captivity
also zoos are an educational experia ce it is one thing to read about. it it is another to see them seeing them in one way or another makes easier for conservationmany
Agree Matt. Some are far better than others…hopefully, most, are more interested in the education than the almighty dollar.
i can name any t some def in it for the money
Thanks TK. I still see no mention of snow in the forecast so I was totally right over a month ago when I said I wouldnt see another inch of accumulation. π
I joke today because on April 1st the GFS had widespread snow for April 15th. Now I’m sitting here doing some spring cleaning on a sunny 65 degree day and looking at potentially record breaking temps tomorrow.

Is this the giraffe in which there was a question if she was actually pregnant?
As quiet as I’ve seen it here. We must need a snowstorm π
66 and wind into the 20s. Extreme fire danger warning.
Arod is here. What can this mean?
Hahahahaha. Well played arod.
Dig those shovels out folks
Monitoring the scanner. Quite a few brush fires in the area (Taunton) including three at the same time in Kingston. Pretty good one in the last hour in Berkley.
Ottawa ties up the series in OT.
Boo
Potential warm front showers as per the TK script. π

Hi Philip…
If I understood your question correctly from last Wednesday, you wanted to know about multiple snow events in April. Did I get that right?
I did some digging. (no pun intended)…
Since 1891, there have been 18 multiple snow events in April in Boston. Most were just two events. The most recent was in 2003. The latest April snows were April 28-29, 1987 with a total of 4.1″.
There were four very small episodes in 1907 totalling 3.1″
There have only been two double-digit, April storms in Boston history:
April 1, 1997: 22.4″
April 6-7, 1982: 13.3″
I hope this answers your question, Philip!
Yes, thanks Captain! π
Great info, captain. Thank you
Despite the dry week, we are still +1.58″ for rainfall almost halfway through April.
Happy Easter and Happy Spring to all! I hope everyone celebrating tomorrow has a beautiful day with family and friends and that spectacular forecast!!!!
I wish you and your family the very same !!

Two stations using the same jumping bunny graphic.
Thanks Dr S. I think there have been jumping bunny sightings in this area. I believe I saw some white paw prints a bit ago
Thanks Dr. S! Ch. 4 has the worst in terms of temps (low-mid 40s). Yuck!!!
the mother giraffe is rejecting the baby this is unfortunately common in some species in captivity. This makes it so that a human becomes a parent taker
Sorry to hear that. I would be curious if mothers in the wild reject their babes as well.
Matt, Curious to know if your comment is based on your own observation, or did you actually hear this from the one of AAP’s Veterinarians or staff members?
Matt, I can’t find that. I’m looking at live webcam but it seems ok

They report all is well with mom & baby!
π That’s what I thought!
Wishing everyone a glorious Easter.
New post!
