  1. I've viewed a lot of old SA obs from the 1950s. It varies by site, but many would put out 1hrly or 3hrly obs with sustained wind values that were rounded like 34015KT, 33020KT etc. The bigger wind speeds often lacked gust reports as well. I remember seeing a lot of Nov 50 obs that were like 07050KT with no gust speeds. So I've always took those old wind readings with a grain of salt. weathafella era yore.
  2. Probably measuring differences in different eras. You had all human obs before the mid 90s and at some point near then there was a transition from cup anemometers to the ultrasonic. There was a clear dropoff there when ASOS/METAR took over in 1996.
  3. And just like that the euro has onshore garbage for Saturday for ENE.
  4. You're looking way more into it than me. I'll admit I'm just being lazy right now and looping the sfc streamlines, low level RH, and 2m temps and not looking at the synoptics behind it all. http://mp1.met.psu.edu/~fxg1/ETANE9_12z/etaloop.html It's the d3 NAM so it's synoptically challenged to begin with. I just wanted to see DIT squirm a little.
  5. NAM is probably in left field, but it has NE sfc flow all afternoon.
  6. Screen doors slamming shut in Tolland?
  7. I've already given up on Friday up here. Maybe we can trend Saturday more south and NNE can get some chilly clearing during the afternoon.
  8. Nice BD on the NAM for Saturday.
  9. It’ll stop in July when it’s 88/75 and dead air.
  10. Tie from 2005. 2 shit Mays.
  11. Potent vortmax moving through? There were many squalls in NY and VT. Some made it through to here and apparently MA.
  12. North is best next week? Keep that cutoff well south plz.
  13. Wind all night here so no records. Min was only 31°. We take. Looks like a cold one in the sheltered valleys tonight. That sfc high crests over us toward sunrise. Should be some nice ranges tomorrow.
  14. lol it’s snowing. 41/25 -SHSN
  15. 31/27 -SN at SLK currently. It's like another world.
  16. CON record is 27F from 2005. The coldest temps ever from this point on is 24F in 5/25/1956 and 5/27/1969. For tonight's min, the 18z MAV is 25F and the 12z MET is 27F. So if they go calm it'll be close to a record. MAV has 17F at SLK. Gah.
  17. At least I’m familiar with modern rhea. This yore rhea I’m not adapted to.
  18. It’s over Thursday. We’ll wake up to frost in the lower els and then everyone rockets up during the day. It’s all up and up from there.
  19. It’s like lube for old bones.
  20. The warmth swerved left and the cold swerved right The Labrador current was just too tight To the warm air I tried to switch Then, you saw my backdoor bitch
  21. The most damaging weather of the day goes to VT.
  22. We pray. I have 4 pawpaw trees coming in next week. I want them in the ground ASAP.
  23. I think my graupel yesterday was bigger than some of these hail obs.
