Spring officially kicked off yesterday. Spring is a season of transition, and because of that, is a season of big weather stories. Indeed, this week started with a snowstorm in the Great Lakes, and a couple of severe weather days in the Eastern US, and now the unseasonable heat is the story for everyone.

Well…. Maybe not EVERYONE. Yes, those are winter weather advisories in New England, where snow is falling, and the heat wave has not made it’s way in. That is quite the contrast. The 300mb jet seems to suggest a particular bone to pick with Maine.

While it does seem a little bit cruel to keep just one corner of the country out of the fun, it does serve as a reminder that this little breach in the jet is allowing snow making conditions into a country that is otherwise experiencing record breaking heat.

This isn’t summer time yet. Cold air is just across the border. This is why we will probably see a few more big weather days before spring gives way.
