Send us Fan Mail Temperatures are set to run well below average for late April, and yeah… it’s going to feel like it too. But there’s a flip side, we finally start drying things out, as a much quieter, drier pattern begins to take hold across southern New England. We’re also watching the subtle seasonal shift, daylight is still increasing, but the big gains are now behind us. We’re adding minutes, just not at that rapid March pace anymore… still counts though. We’ll also check in on something that continues to matter more than it should this time of year, our ongoing drought status and how this recent stretch of weather is (or isn’t) helping. And a great seasonal question: When is Boston’s average last freeze? The answer might surprise you and it matters more than ever as we head deeper into spring planting season.
