Stink, stank, stunk

Damage control was never taught in weather school, but I think it might be time to enroll in a course.

Let me save you the bandwith:

Yes I know this cost the government, businesses, plow operators, towns and cities thousands of dollars.

Yes I realize the time and effort that was wasted.

Yes I know you'll never watch/trust me again.

But I also know that everyone called for roughly the same amounts, the same timing, and same call to arms. No one's got God holding on line one. While I know there's nothing to appease the anger, the disgust and the shame, I also know I can't change what I can't control. I also know you're entitled to your opinion of meteorologists, our forecasts, and the profession.

But I do know

the sun will rise tomorrow

the pattern is quiet for several days

that spring is around the corner

and...Mother Nature is still the king (queen).

We'll be back in the huddle tomorrow.

Shaping The Weekend Forecast

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Hard to describe the last few week's weather with a witty phrase or a funny anecdote.

We've had some sun, a few nice weekends...and some rain. It's been warm, it's been cool, and, at times, it's been perfect.

Busy Day

What a crazy  busy and wonderful Wednesday I just had. I spent most of the morning in Mansfield for a school visit at the Robinson School for my nephew, then a visit to Mansfield High School to see the Senior Presentation for the student, Lindsay, I mentored for her senior year. Then it was back to Boston for an amazing charity event supporting the Charlestown YMCA. I met so many fabulous people all day long...young and young at heart!

Here Comes Summer

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Oh so close to that Holiday Weekend. The Memorial Day weekend does indeed kick-off summer so think of today & the rest of the week as *pre-season* tune up for mom nature. Classic day where we started with clouds & fog but by coffee break time, that sun was alive & kicking. The humidity stay around and combined with that strong May sunshine ganged up on us popping a few afternoon t-storms. These storms were briefly intense but not much teeth with them after 30-45 minutes.

Staying Damp

I decided to finally hit up the grocery store yesterday. The best part about grocery shopping in the rain is that there really aren't too many other people shopping. The worst part about grocery shopping in the rain is...grocery shopping in the rain. No wonder why the smarter people stay home. Carrying in bags soaking wet is no fun. But the fresh Tilapia and broccoli and the homemade strawberry shortcake was worth the trip!
