See ya later winter! We are saying a big hello to Spring this weekend! The Vernal Equinox officially is 1:32 PM. Today is the day the sun rises due east, and sets due west. The sun is shining directly over the Equator giving the Northern and Southern Hemispheres equal amount of day and night. The earth will now start to tilt a little more and more towards the sun as we approach thee Summer Solstice. Days will get longer and longer. Obviously, with the increased radiation from the Sun temps will be getting warmer.

Talk about warm! Today our temperatures will be about 20-25 degrees above normal! Many areas in the south this Saturday will have highs climbing to near 70 or above. Records will not be broken like yesterday, but it will feel warmer, especially along the coast..where a west wind should be able to hold off the seabreeze. This airmass is more typical of early June than late March! Enjoy it today, because a cold front moves through Sunday, bringing a wind shift a return to more seasonal spring like air.
What an early spring treat this week has been!

Spring Skiing this weekend with plenty of wide open terrain! Temps will be in the 50’s today with abundant sunshine. Bring the sunscreen, sunglasses and a light fleece. Loose granular and corn snow will soften as the day procedes. Most ski areas in Northern New England are close to 100% open…so just because winter is over and there is no snow in your backyard….conditions are epic for awesome time this weekend! Wish I could join you.
