And to think it's been in the 80s at the finish as well. The weather in Boston is crazy unpredictable this time of year. I mean 80s this time of year seems more crazy than snow.
Toni Reavis has some good archived clips on how crazy the Boston weather is.

Don’t you think this proves global warming?
Snow was gone by noon and will be low 60s and partly sunny tomorrow.
Pretty much what we had here in chi town. 4 inches of snow yesterday and 60s and sunny today

The other way around Rojo. Boston averages one day over 80° in April. Boston gets snow once every four years in April.
Wait until it’s 92 in September
Looks like it would've been a great day for the marathon tomorrow, mostly cloudy with a high of 51F, winds NE at 14 MPH, gusting to 27 MPH.

That September race isn't going to happen, at least not for the masses.

Would be mostly a headwind tho no? There's so many people in Boston that you can pack up & the wind won't completely kill your race. Temp would have been great.
Wind situation tomorrow? Was it 2011 conditions?

Bull. I ran in 2018 and there was literally 3-4 people spectating in huge sections. If there's 27 mph winds, Bostonians stay home.
Check out this video at heart break hill. The money spot for spectators. Massive gaps.

My core body temperature still hasn't recovered from 2018.
He's not talking about spectators, he's talking about participants.
Best Boston weather I've seen in years... 50 w/ wind from N.
Oh well.
