Gorgeous

Really nice (if complete unseasonal) day out there today: As the hiker who just came through, sat down on a rock and turned his face to the sun: get out and enjoy it!
At 11 am, we are just about to break 50 degrees F (49.6 and rising).
We currently have 78% humidity, though with a wind of about 11 mph, that is falling.
The barometer is steady at 29.15 inches of mercury under blue skies.
The brook is running between and under banks of snow. Trails that have been active will be a bit slippery, and by this afternoon, the edges will be mud.

Thawing?

Just barely edging over freezing here this morning at 8:30: we're showing 32.2 degrees, but RISING.
82% humidity out there, so clearly there's water in the air coming off the snow.
The barometer is at 29.32 and steady. Enjoy it, as the next round of winter weather comes in tonight. The latest forecast I've seen said 2-4 inches this time.

Sticky

While it continues to be below freezing at night, it is bouncing back up in the forties each day. The trails, therefore, are pretty sticky (except first thing in the morning). Dress your feet accordingly!
(plenty of "mud" tags lately!)

At 5 pm, it's 41 degrees
Clouds coming in; barometer falling
34% humidity

And, speaking as someone who did yesterday, I'd recommend against falling in the brook. It's rather chilly.
