Sweet Caroline has never sounded quite so sweet. Happy end of covid restrictions day Massachusetts. @RedSox

@ericfisher Yeah my birthday is May 7, and including the very year I was born (1977) where I'm pretty sure we had a snow/ice situation here, and the subsequently I've since witnessed at least 6 times since where it's snowed on or around my birthday! We're not out of the woods until late May!

@GregForrister I'm sure you're aware it snows there in April too. And sometimes in May ;-)

Today's weather notwithstanding, the sun will not set before 7pm again in Boston until September 12th

This is some bullshit! Now up to 90.8" here in Fitchburg, MA before this crap this evening! I've had enough! #thinkspring

@smorshV2 @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @Pamelanbcboston @ShiriSpear @KPLWeather I believe it's somewhere around the area of 70"-90"/ year.

@GregForrister @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @Pamelanbcboston @ShiriSpear @KPLWeather Hey, the nickel and dime events can add up quickly! How much do you average per season there?

Since Dec 1 we have had 101 days (still counting) with > 1" snowpack here in Fitchburg, MA. That's only 4 ttl days with 0" in that span and 90.1" season to date. Finally down to single digits now though! @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @Pamelanbcboston @ShiriSpear @KPLWeather

@smorshV2 @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @Pamelanbcboston @ShiriSpear @KPLWeather It wasn't as if we got a ton of big storms here (yes we did have a few), but more the case of numerous consistent and persistent smaller events that all added up over the course of the winter. 🤷‍♂️

@GregForrister @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @Pamelanbcboston @ShiriSpear @KPLWeather That’s a nice winter!

#MAwx #SecondWinter

@ericfisher Going to be one heck of a "mud-season" at some point. 🤷‍♂️

@GregForrister You've got 5 days to do some serious work

I spy grass and willows getting yellow Clearing skies west to east later today for a fantastic first late sunset of the year

Not sure where you're getting you snow depth data from @shalhoupwx, but not a snowman's chance in hell that all this will be gone by Tue! Photo taken this morning from my backyard in Fitchburg, MA. 🤦‍♂️

@jerseyjohn43 @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston Only 663'.

@GregForrister @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston thats a lot whats the elevation

Current avg snowpack from backyard in Fitchburg, MA ahead of tonight's everything but the kitchen sink. Many spots still over 30", but some as low as 23"+. Feel like 26" is a good overall avg. 88.1" season to datehere. @WX1BOX @ericfisher @jreineron7 @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston

@SurfSkiWeather A quick change from light rain, to sleet, and now more and more snow mixing in as well at 9:30 PM in Fitchburg, MA with road conditions quickly deteriorating. I think I speak for a lot of people in saying "enough is enough!". #ThinkSpring

To quote the famous Dr Windex: "It Should Be Interesting." High Barometer FTW ~ Overachiever ~ imo (we should add timestamp ~ about 8:30pm)

@ericfisher @SNEWeather

I know we've got wintry mix and dicey conditions out there tonight... But can we get excited about first chance of thunder Saturday night? I'm ready for ⚡️

@pkuncis @ericfisher @WX1BOX @jreineron7 @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston 😆 🦨

@ericfisher @GregForrister @WX1BOX @jreineron7 @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston Piles big enough here in Brockton to still puzzle the skunks.

@Pamelanbcboston Thankfully not quite a "winter 2015" (149" here for that season!), but still draining on the body and soul. Very much ready for Spring!

Wow! What a winter!

And for what it's worth, we've just got a very definitive changeover from light rain to all sleet as of about 8:10 PM here in Fitchburg. 🌨😫🌨

@ericfisher @WX1BOX @jreineron7 @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston Not exactly a contest we're happy to be winning at this point, but it is what it is. But yes, a sneaky above average snowy season here no doubt. Minus the few larger storm accumulations it's just been a persistent 3, 4, 5, 6" events that apparently can/do add up over time. 🤷‍♂️

@GregForrister @WX1BOX @jreineron7 @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston I think you win the MA snowpack contest at the moment (except maybe somewhere in the Berkshires)

@jreineron7 @WX1BOX @ericfisher @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston I actually would love for there to be NOTHING left by that time, but the decades have taught me that the snowpack is very tough and hard to erode out this way. You know exactly what I mean obviously. It's be ecstatic if even half of it were gone!

@GregForrister @WX1BOX @ericfisher @KPLWeather @Pamelanbcboston Impressive...my last snowpack measurement was Feb 25th....I had 20" at that time...curious to see what's left of it by next Wednesday

@scouter441 @WX1BOX @DHTheWeatherNut @kellyannwx @1DegreeOutside But I'm now back up to 26" overall snowpack. We're clearly in different zones I guess, so to speak. 🤷‍♂️

@WX1BOX @DHTheWeatherNut @kellyannwx @1DegreeOutside 3.4” of snow in my area of Fitchburg so far snow depth 15” light snow 25 Deg 6pm
