I would hate both all the time. Just give me 58 and a dew point of 45f for lows and 74f for a high sly. 90 is not so bad for you guys. But when you live right on the gulf and the gulf water temps are 90 and i get a west wind it is pure hell with lows around 78-84 and dew points of 75+.

winter isn't leaving Mt. Washington; looks like some great spring hiking. Don't you wish you were here ?

here's the valley bottom at 2000 feet. Mid-April warmth killed the snowpack



summit has a similar pattern but colder, recent temperatures could be mid-winter up there



only a little higher has 3 feet of snow on the ground

and for Amherst; this April stands out. How long will take for buds?!

April 2018 in Amherst doesn't look like April. More days below 50°F than above



2017 had a colder start and some chilly late April days but lots of warmth mixed in



here's the weekend of April 22-23. Only a few buds







May 2



first week this May will definitely be bare

Yup, he's calling for a below average May.

And he's already predicting a cold and snowy winter next winter
