The weekend weather was not much different than the weather for the whole week, it rained off and on. The boat schedule changed on Tuesday, the port of Oak Bluffs is now open and you can already feel the increased traffic on the roads in town.
Well, the weekend was pretty much a washout. We received nearly two inches of rain and a little thunder and lightning for good measure.
The weekend weather was much warmer, the grass is starting to green up from a long hard winter.
Monday is the first of May, when baskets may be hung on your door and May Pole celebrations and dances announce the arrival of warmer weather and send old Jack Frost on vacation.
It was a great weekend. People seemed to be everywhere. The weather, Passover, Easter, Patriots Day and school vacation were wrapped in one.
Friday is the beginning of a holiday weekend. Patriots Day is Monday and all town buildings will be closed.
The weekend weather was more like winter than spring, rain all day Saturday with snow showers and strong wind forcing the cancellation of most all SSA boats.
The record book on March closes Friday and it has been one of the colder months on record. The weekend was about 10 degrees colder than the previous week and the month was like a lion with cold, snow, wet and very windy weather.
As you have noticed, the days are getting thankfully longer; we now have more than 12 hours of daylight each day but the thermometer has not climbed above 46 degrees, in fact the cold persists.
