Just deleted a bunch of the politics posts from last couple pages. Ya’ll need to go somewhere else to discuss.
-
Guys cut the politics talk...you can go to Ampol or some other political forum, but not here. I've started deleting posts. If you keep posting, then I'll just suspend or 5-post you. I get that people may want to talk about it, but most people prefer to keep politics off the wx side and it's a rule we've long stood by going back several versions of these forums.
-
Yeah we'll see. The weeklies supported a really bad pattern to open December too FWIW. We know how these things can be horrible accuracy sometimes, but it's something to watch.
-
That Euro december map would be hideous....even with the -NAO...there's no cold air for the NAO to hold in. We might see a marginal event or two on that look. Lets hope it's wrong. We don't want the piggy showing up.
-
Wow this thread flew off the rails....time to shut down the political talk
-
Can't wait for the postmortem on the polls this time. Maybe they all donate their money to Selzer?
-
Nice snow growth on the phineas cam. Probably 20 to 1 stuff.
-
This is bringing back memories of the bizarre golf course shutdown well after it was apparent people don't get covid playing golf. I highly doubt this is going to be enforced.
-
About an inch on winter hill
-
Thank god the heated sidewalks are not on yet at Stowe.....those things make me irrationally angry.
-
This event is pretty robust considering you are getting the echoes showing up so well in the White Mts....Alex will often report decent upslope when you can barely see the echoes, so this one is deeper in the atmosphere...rather than some of the lower level shallow upslope
-
Def don't measure in the open field with this stuff....you prob want to try and find a fairly sheltered place where some trees are close enough to keep the wind from going crazy, but not so close as to contaminate the snowfall itself. Maybe the north side of your place?
-
Yeah I was thinking how empty it probably is so it is easier. Though I've heard talk that some airlines might go to rapid testing for their passengers...not sure how that would possibly work for like 100 people. If it would require people getting there super early, then t would offset a lot of the current ease of no lines.
-
If we’re going to discuss covid at all in the banter thread, then we are going to keep politics out of it. Let’s not imply political conspiracies for objectively easy-to-track numbers from a whole slew of decentralized sources. Some might complain about media narratives and such, but that is outside the scope of this thread and getting into the political aspect of it...and thus, should be avoided or we will just start deleting stuff.

Could make a run at 70 in spots later next week. Quite the flip from this weekend and even early in the week with that brutal cold shot on Monday/Tuesday.
-
The 1936 reading was at Logan airport according to the threaded record location details. Seems like Logan became official site of obs on January 1st, 1936. Hard to believe it actually got to 25F in the harbor there but I guess it’s correct. Their 28F reading this morning is tied for the 2nd coldest reading at Logan in October though. Ties 1976 and 1940.
-
Yeah the pack took forever to melt. It was a solid week at least but the temps never got this cold afterward. It was just mostly 40s and 50s and because there was literally 15-20” OTG and no warm rainstorms, it took a while. Anyways, looks like the 00z NAM was on crack. Other guidance more tame. Still gotta watch for snow shower Tuesday morning though. .
-
What the hell is the NAM doing? Its wrapping snow into SNE too now and dropping temps into the 20s during peak daytime heating on Monday.
-
Gotta watch Tuesday morning for windexy type squalls. Crazy to be talking about that a couple days into November after already getting a legit October snow event for many.
-
Your area may even get some commahead backlash synoptic stuff....which of course may be upslope-enhanced too. The trend has been to really redevelop that low over S Maine or even a little further south near BOS.
-
Yeah they are somewhat rare...but aren’t that crazy unheard of. We do tend to see them in some of our great winters (Dec 1995 to early Jan 1996 comes to mind as well) We don’t need them that crazy though to have great periods. It would be nice to have some transient blocking that went neutral or only modestly positive in between blocking episodes instead of a straight black hole up there like we’ve often seen in recent winters.
-
FYI, the NAO turned strongly negative in the last 10 days of Nov 2010 and then broke during the 1/12/11 storm. We sustained another 3 weeks of winter after that with a largely favorable Pacific. The NAO did form another weakish block for about a week leading into the 1/26-27/11 event and then broke positive for good IIRC.
-
Yep....piggy has disappeared on guidance so fingers crossed that holds. Look more -PNA like Scott said but there's actually some weak ridging up in AK/EPO region. Weeklies look like they may cool down late month into early December with western CONUS ridging, but that is out in clown range.
-
The last one got way too political. We tried it for months and it eventually got worse and worse. People couldn’t behave themselves so it stays off the wx side. Ya’ll can go discuss it on Ampol or somewhere else. I’m not a fan of censorship but this is a wx forum and we’ve always been strict about keeping politics off the wx side. The covid thread was an exception...and then it ultimately proved why we keep politics out of here.
-
Yeah I missed this one. But your idea reminds me of the days we did radio shows. We usually only do them for KU type threats for the mid-Atlantic but we could totally utilize zoom for some bigger New England-centric threats.
