New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
The worst one can say about this weekend’s weather is that it will have precipitation off and on throughout it. However it won’t be snow, but rain. That will be due to the rather unusually warm temperatures we’ve been experiencing lately. Unusual for this time of year with upper 40s and even on Saturday with 55 degrees! As we all know, we can’t let our guard down living in New England – who remembers the April Fool’s Day blizzard we got years ago? As far as I am concerned that is the benchmark – I don’t let my guard down until April 2nd!
