Just sultry where I am,
but north of the Charles River there were thunderstorms with downed utility poles and trees.

After several days and nights of early April weather,
suddenly the weather is behaving like the month of June,
with a blindingly clear blue sky, not a cloud that I can see from my computer station.

Good for you, gnu.
You were gnashing your teeth a few weeks ago when the warm weather kicked in too soon for your liking.
But hopefully your esteemed mother has ceased to live in dread, for the moment, of winter storms.

The wind is kicking up here in eastern Massachusetts as well, there is no shortage of rain, and everything here is green enough to blind you. That will change when the heat arrives and the green grass turns yellowish brown on the lawns, as ever.

keberoxu... In Moncton, NB.ca, it's presently (almost 1PM) cloudy and    9C with wind of 20-30kph. I am LOVIN' IT! Got the heat pump on, although I have refused to do so for a while. 3C and clear tonight so we'll see how my neighbours' bedding plants make out if there is no wind. Fools! Full moon is Friday and I told them two weeks ago not to put in annuals from the nursery before close to the full moon. But, they know all about the weather and I don't... according to them. Fools.

Forecast says 28C on Thursday. But, I have a heat pump for that. >;-)

Hey GNU!
Are you having spring weather up there,
as opposed to summer?

We are in eastern Massachusetts, spring I mean,
with chilly nights and damp grey days.

But the heat is supposed to catch up to us next weekend.

Well, people talk about the weather,
but the weather knows better.
Hereabouts I hear many complaints that we go straight
from winter into summer.
That is not the case today:

It's well above freezing,
it is anything but hot,
and the rain is a gentle soaking one.
Sounds and feels like spring to me. And I'll take it.

Here we are hoping that the rain will be enough to put a damper (ahem) on the gypsy moth caterpillars. Apparently it may cause a virus that will kill many of them before they chomp on the leaves. Trees in some parts of the state could be defoliated for the third consecutive year.

In the Four Corners area of the southwestern US, where I lived for years (not a native though),
at this time of year it would be lousy weather.

No spring rain, as the rain comes with the summer monsoons.
The spring floods result from the melting of the mountain snowpack.
That seasonal wind would blow, the one that has this magnetic charge that rubs everybody raw.
Dust and tumbleweeds EVERYWHERE.

By comparison I prefer this rainy green situation.

A happy medium today.
It's well above freezing, and the plowed piles of frozen snow are gone.
It's too cool and cloudy to remind anyone of summer. (I have seen people with horrendous sunburns lately, forgetting to protect themselves on the clear warm days.)

It's showery, which the growing flowering leafy things need.
The earthworms, when it's wet, have been showing up above the surface of the soil for the first time in months.

I can happily wear layers in the day.
The nights are still cool enough for pleasant sleeping.

I could get used to this.

Amazing thing today: it snowed! Here in Juneau, Alaska, we're in what are typically the brightest, driest months of the year, from mid-April to the end of June.

Well, things were going on normally the last several weeks. In the sun it was warm, temps in the upper 40s/low 50s, bushes are budding, crocuses are up and blooming, day lilies stand 6 inches high.

And then today, it snowed.

If the forecast here is to be believed, that storm will spare southern New England, but we will see. When it gets warm enough here for things to thaw, we won't need rain: it may flood anyhow.

Round number 3? Mum's gonna freak out. Last week, the power was out from 2AM to 8:30AM and she was "having flashbacks" from late January (out for 4 days). Then it was out from 11AM to 1PM and she was really getting antsy.

Special weather statement in effect for:

Moncton and Southeast New Brunswick
A low pressure system will approach slowly from the south tonight and Monday then linger around the region into Tuesday. Precipitation from this system will begin over southernmost portions of New Brunswick early Monday morning as a mixture of light snow, ice pellets and freezing rain but should change to rain later in the morning as temperatures climb slightly above the freezing mark. However, as temperatures fall later in the day and the precipitation continues to push northward, there is potential for a prolonged area of freezing rain to form Monday evening and persist into Tuesday morning. At this time northern and eastern portions of the province are most at risk for freezing rain, but there is still a chance it could affect western and southern portions of the province as well.

The public is advised to monitor future forecasts as freezing rain warnings may be required.

yes, but only in low latitudes - Aurora Australis I'll never see it here in Sydney. Maybe if I ever get to Cygnet Folk Festival in Tasmania I can see one, but as that festival is in January & summer makes if hard to see them, probably not.

Auroras: What are they and how do you spot one in Australia? - this article says Auroras have been seen in Kiama, a 2.5 hour train trip south where I have friends, I must ask them if they have ever seen the aurura.
