Default more encouragement!

It is after 9 p.m. and temperatures remain closer to 50 than to 40... something we haven't done since before the ground got white.

Snow is now rapidly melting from rooftops and docks as well as from the snowbanks and objects underneath are becoming visible again.

What's more... tonight we have the return of a spring-summer phenomenon... take a look:

Severe thunderstorms are impacting western Massachusetts tonight... part of the same line. Expect this sort of thing to become more common as spring progresses... but more snow is also normal until "summer" finally wins the battle of the transition season.
