Warm Day Saturday, and Flooding

I was away for the weekend, but I see that Lebanon hit 71 degrees Saturday! That is the warmest day of the year, and it came as a complete surprise to many. The forecast through Friday night was for a cool and raw day Saturday, but warm air won! Today was a slap back to reality, with mostly cloudy skies, windy conditions, and afternoon snow showers and squalls. I was in Plymouth NH and there was a brief snow squall that hit around 6pm. No accumulation, the temp was around 40. Still, that could very well be the last snow of the season. Goodbye winter. :(

The outlook for the week....cool to start off, then warming up into the 60s by Wed and Thursday. Not much precip expected this week, which is good. Snow melt is well underway and the CT river at West Lebanon flooded late Saturday. Its back down now, but it will be high for at least the next month. Any major rainstorms could mean flooding.

Meanwhile, the mtns picked up a few inches of snow today. So they added to their snow pack, which is still up to 70 inches deep in places. The pack is like a glacier, and its melting very slowly.

Not much else to talk about. Enjoy the week, after tomorrow. (40s tomrorow)
