What April feels like
April shakes off winter unevenly — one warm Saturday and every outdoor table on Exchange Street is full, then a week of cold rain. The Sea Dogs open at Hadlock toward the end of the month, which locals count as the official start of spring regardless of what it feels like.
Winter is doing its thing: 2.8 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on maybe one day. about 12 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 44° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
