  1. Hopefully this pans out and it’s puking in Foxboro between 3 and 6pm.
  2. He was born in Venezuela. Will he still be here come opening day?
  3. They had the nicknames Crazy Uncle and Dr No for a reason.
  4. Well BDL is staring a +18 or so in the face today. That would put them at +3.8 mtd. That would also be their largest +/- departure since -20 on 12/5. It’s been a pretty warm week for approaching the climo min of the season. It’ll be interesting to see if we can knock the positive departures back down to normal by the end of the month.
  5. Your one day to break the streak was 38° It’s 7 days straight where most people work and live. +2.7° coming into today for BDL MTD.
  6. Yeah…there’s lot of freezing fog in the valleys and at high elevation making rime ice. Freak and MWN post a lot of epic rime pics. Obviously that’s all supercooled droplets needing a cold surface to freeze/deposit on. I remember Fort Kent Will posting some good true IC pics (maybe vids) awhile back when he still lived up there.
  7. Are you trying to tell us something? We all support you and you’re safe here.
  8. A lot of people confuse true DD with very light snow. It can get tricky in the mountains too because at cold temps even with weak lift you can squeeze out some snowflakes even with barely the hint of a cloud. But DD is simply ice fog. I think the Inuit term for it was pogonip. But as you know it’s difficult to freeze tiny water droplets because of their curvature. You need really cold temps to get them to spontaneously freeze. That’s why it’s usually around -30 or colder and in valleys so it can saturate and go immediately to ice form instead of supercooled droplets.
