We are in the . This is the 6th day in a row with temperatures never dipping below freezing, and in the last two weeks we’ve seen temps in the 60s (F). New England should be reliably in the 20s or colder.

These are the only two patches of natural ice and snow on in a region that averaged between 50 and 80 inches each Winter.

I had a conversation with a colleague walking into work this morning. “I’m only 31 and even I can tell something’s wrong.”

50°F temperatures and 2 inches of rain are devastating the artificial snow made just a couple of days ago on ski trails at Wachusett Mountain.

You don’t need an attribution study to know has a direct economic impact right now.

If you listen, very carefully, you can hear the sound of a warm front moving in at altitude. Temperatures were well below freezing at the base, but near the summit ice and snow is melting off tree branches and cascading onto the trail.

I know dozens of people who climb every morning for a free run hours before the mountain opens for business. They are taking back ski culture.

The full moon and low blowing scud clouds made a surreal backdrop for the fire tower on this morning.
