  1. REPOST of the quiz from Longshot:

    Today’s AccuWeather Trivia Quiz.

    Which of the following is NOT a high latitude climate?
    A. Polar
    B. Tropical Wet and Dry
    C. Tundra
    D. Taiga

    (Not the best worded quiz.)Answer later today.

    1. Define high latitude….

      Tropical wet can get pretty Far North.
      What the Bleep is tropical dry?????????????????????
      A Kenyan blast furnace? Winds from the Sahara?????
      A camel fart?
      Beats the crap out of me.

      1. The generally accepted definition of “high latitude” is the arctic and circles to the poles.

        I don’t agree that the question was poorly worded. It was worded as well as it could have been.

        1. So then from the Arctic circle Northward.

          What is Tropical Dry?

          I wouldn’t imagine that whatever it is it gets to the Arctic circle????

        2. I still think the wording blows.

          Is it a climate restricted to ONLY the High latitudes?
          For example Polar. Polar air masses can make it to the Gulf. Tropical air masses can make it to the Arctic circle.

          It is poorly worded. What do they mean?

  3. 43.5 here. Better than what was forecast a few days ago.
    Could/should be warmer, but at least for now, the SUN is out. 😀

    1. This afternoon/evening will have a different look. The scattered precip is going to waste no time getting here. Focus pike area southward. May be mixed.

  5. OS… replying to earlier posts.

    The definitions of climate zones don’t take into account that the weather that is prevalent in each of these zones can travel to other zones, nor should they. These regions are the prevailing or “majority” weather in these areas. That is going to happen as the Earth continues to find a balance against the climate zones that are naturally occurring because of the sun, and our distance from it.

    Tropical wet/dry refers to regions in the tropics that have distinct wet seasons and dry seasons. Vast portions of Indonesia fall into this category, for example. Being an agricultural forecaster, I dealt with this routinely during my time forecasting in the private sector.

    1. Thanks. I appreciate the clarification.
      But even so, that should be stated in the question.

      I would have been much clearer in stating the question.
      😀

  9. Thanks TK:) already had a 3rd Easter egg hunt with all the kids, not bad at all outside, temp is 51 degrees partly to mostly cloudy, enjoy your egg hunts 🙂

  10. Even 50 here.

    Snow in Berkshires appears stationary?
    Some sort of Orographic precipitation going on there ahead of
    the synoptic precip? I dunno. Sure looks like it.

  12. Happy Easter to those who celebrate!

    Unsettled week but temps moderate late week into the weekend. Accumulating snow in the Boston area still appears not likely.

  16. Good thing the egg hunts are over here, started raining about 3:30pm, judging by radar it looks like it stops within next 30 min’s temp is 38.7 degrees 🙂

  17. Answer to Today’s AccuWeather Trivia Quiz.

    Which of the following is NOT a high latitude climate?
    A. Polar
