The past two weeks have been mild and mostly sunny. After a cold few weeks it feels like spring, and this sort of weather is the best way to melt the deep snow without causing a flooding issues. Snow depth reached 22" at the airport (56cm) but is patchy now and should be mostly gone with the 50s coming this week. The rain in the forecast is also the first rain in about 2 months. With the mild winter and deep snow during the cold periods, the frost in the ground is less deep than normal, so it could maybe thaw out faster than normal. Or maybe it'll turn wet and cold and stay muddy through April instead. Shady spots are nowhere near melted so it may be a while. The mild dry weather has continued. Last week was close to normal with snow one day and some rain, but before that we had 20 consecutive days without measurable rain or snow. Still the month is averaging 6F above normal (3.3C) with only 0.36"/9mm on 3 days. I did see a few small patches of natural snow yesterday in the woods, but they should be gone this week as it looks mild and rainy. With the deep snow in February, a wet stretch could have caused messy weather ( like this for example in 2018), but dry and sunny weather caused a gradual melt and has kept mud season to a minimum. Today was another warm day with 63F/17C and sunny skies. The amount of people out enjoying days like this is always nice to see. |

42 degree sun angle, with winters averaging above freezing, and if it's happened only 9 times sinec 1875, yes, it's a meaningful record.

It's not a record and they never claimed that it was a record. They are just giving some context instead of saying it's unusually cold for the time of year.

Reached 45 (7 c) today before wintry weather moved in.
It drizzled for awhile before turning to snow. Although it was heavy snow at times, nothing stuck except a dusting on cars so only a trace was recorded.

 Rapid and abrupt transition into Spring. But after a solid winter, I'm liking these 50s and 60s  |

26 April might be hard to beat in Turku, maybe, but 2 May could be realistic.

Still a northerly wind is blowing. Low of -0.3C and high of 3.6C in Riga. Sunny in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon. It has not snowed here, and there is practically no snow. All those promises of warmer weather have been postponed so much that it seems unbelievable that it will become warmer tomorrow. ![]()  |

Despite the spring-like temperatures today, I did have to scrape frost off my windshield this morning. But looking at the forecast, I don't see any more freezing temperatures.
