In the Boston area, average highs in mid-March are in the mid 40s...

low 40s with Sun and temps below freezing at night. Perfect for a corn harvest!

When's the last time in ALL of New England you can have not made that statement for all of February? (Unless of course you're an Annie Lennox and Eurythmics fan? ;-) )

GFS op is showing a warm up in the long range. But it's the long range.

Yes it is.
Four straight days (which is as far out as I can go without switching to the climate models so it may well be more than 4 days in a row) with > 32 high temps, even up to Canada.
Fortunately, however, the collective members are colder. A 12 to 27 degree temp discrepancy is pretty dramatic, so the op showing a warmup is most likely an outlier.

Technically it is trending cooler than average with a few days here and there above average. But there are no scorchers identified as of yet - that can all change. The long range forecast was discussed a week or two ago. In any case the sun is getting stronger - so.....

Sorry! Changed it. I meant to write is.... End of the op run is very warm.

As long at any big warm up holds off until like 3/17 I'm good!

That's too early, I want to be skiing trees in n.VT in early April. On that note, it does seem like the extended models are backing off on the warmth slightly. This has been a trend for much of the winter. See the warmth? Andddd it's gone.

Yes it's really been doing that all winter. I would think at some point northern New England will get one last decent winter stretch. Its not often they go quietly into the night.

Joe Bastardi in his weekly video is calling it a "false spring". 10 day warm up and then more cold relative to normal. The woods last year survived into the 3rd week in April (at least at K they did) so I don't think it will shut down much. It's actually going to feel nice not to have to dress super cold this weekend.

True enough, I just hope it doesn't freeze everything. I skied at Sugarbush last year right after a warmup/freeze while there was still tons of snow, and it made the woods kind of hard and glazey'.

Once that happens I actually want a warm-up during the day. Soft snow in the glades isn't as good as powder but it's better than the alternative.

If the woods get hard and glazey they might actually last a bit longer. Especially when (hopefully) some fresh snow falls on top of it in the next few weeks. Southern VT already has a layer of "hard and glazey" under the February snow which gives them a little extra thaw insurance.

And that's exactly what happened, so it can ultimately be a good thing. It's just not optimal if you happen to there on the hard and glazey day.

Looks warmer next week. Though it doesn't seem like it will be all that far from average. High 30's low 40's here with maybe a day later in the week closer to 50. 40 is the average high here. My concern is it warms up enough that later next week things refreeze right when I'm arriving in central vermont. Give me corn or give me winter. Nothing in between.

Yup refreeze sucks!

I'll be up at Killington the 14th & 15th, so hopefully there isn't any re-freezing going on next weekend!
It looks like they're saying it is going to cool after today, then warm back up by the end of the weekend and stay pretty warm throughout the week, then cool back down again for the weekend.
