All Activity

We lived in Gardiner in 1995 and the afternoon high was 16 with winds gusting to near 50, but it was 31 at my 9 PM obs time the evening before, probably the 2d worst "midnight spoil" max I can recall. Worst was March 6, 2007, when the afternoon high of -2 was wrecked by the 19 at 9 the previous evening. March 2017 had one that ranks with 4/95, 14° at 9 PM on 3/10 followed by a zero for afternoon high. Co-ops with 7 AM obs time have preserved those cold afternoons. (1st CT Lake had a high of -24 on Dec 26, 1980 thanks to the 7 AM protocol. Mt Mansfield has tied that mark and MWN has numerous colder ones, but nothing in New England below 3000' asl can match it.)

Best question of all. If you were home in Cumberland where are your 6 hourly measurements? Piles we got piles on piles.

BGM’s take, since they have been updating CTP’s AFD since yesterday morning.

In this shot you can see the Lake of the Clouds hut in the saddle right of MWN:

Wow, that’s impressive. The only list I made in college was the absentee list…

Mystic FTW?

Do you have video from when you drove 6 hrs to Maine to question a qualified trained COOP observers 76 inch depth but got lost?

Even the Sierra just had a rainstorm with low 40s. The entire mountain is a slushbomb. Highs next few days low 50s lows in the 40s damn even the high Sierras are in full Spring. In late Feb. Rivers are roaring.

About 2 hours of snow here. Covered mulch and roads up higher were starting to cave. It has passed now.

Farther north, we've had only 10 days in 27 Aprils with maxima 32 or colder, only 3 below 30 and the 24 during a modest snowfall on 5/2003 is lowest by 5°. 200 miles NNE in Fort Kent, such maxima are much more common, 3.1/yr vs. 0.37/yr. Of course, the 1970s-80s were also colder than 1999 onward. We recorded 31 such days in our 10 Aprils there, 30 of which were 23 to 32, plus the 17 max for the 4/7/82 blizzard.

Lol give it up

WSW

Crazy how it always swings back from cold to something extreme on the warm side.

i made the deans list one semester in college. what did you do that was so special?

NAM is juiced

Todays EW look pretty awful if you’d prefer BN in the E US. And I’m not talking about the WxBell crappy always too cold maps. I’m talking about the ECMWF’s own much more trustworthy maps. They’re not pretty unless you want mild or even borderline torching. Also, the 10 mb is for the 2nd day not dipping as much: only dips to -2 (though with still a large majority reversing) vs -5 (with almost all reversing) yesterday and -11 (with 100% reversing) two days ago.

No, I did it without needing a straight jacket.

You've said it multiple times. Stop backtracking and moving goalposts. You've had 3 of your theories go up in flames this season about the northeast You're a clown, sorry. Try expanding your reading a little bit and you might not be so narrow minded. Since 2016...your favorite line ever...since 2016, multiple places within a handful of miles have now had 3 50" winters, but your CC tunnel vision wasn't able to comprehend that.

GWWBA glad we won't be alive

How many measurements did you take and did you make a video?

Did a bit of a weenie drive further down the South Shore, there is a lot of effing snow here. Makes it feel like just an Alberta clipper hit Weymouth.

A few slushy snowflakes have been splattering in my windshield on my drive into Damascus.

Some interesting stats on the frequency of large 10" plus snowstorms comparing the Philly burbs of Chester County PA vs. Philadelphia.

Thanks, looking for any glimmer of hope that Northern Vermont stay all frozen precip for March 5-7 ski trip.
