CoastalWx

Getting dark with some CJ approaching. First coastal front dance of the season. Wind now NNW after being NE. We’ll see if there’s any catpaws.

AWT

I’m not too worried depending on what’s driving it and how it looks as we head into December. If it’s a black hole by the Bering sea and it continues into December then maybe. But I don’t see that. Looks like Jan and Feb could be fun.

Should see some flakes into Kevin’s hood soon.

I think AN Novie for temps. Not sure precip. But I don’t think it’s a torch.

Warmed up a bit with clouds and east winds. We grow still.

Maybe Tuesday. Mild either way. We 60+.

Some nice low 60s Sat-Tues.

It’s December. I think like 12/5/09?

36.5 but clouds coming in.

38 here. Finally feels cold.

46.3 so far. Halloween of yore.

I always got frustrated when I talked to people I know about this. I used to tell them look at the departures across the 1st order stations in SNE. How can one station be over 2F above the rest. The airmass doesn't magically change inside 128 lol. But people would still push back on it claiming UHI...but it doesn't work like that. Having over 2F difference in departures compared to other stations is statistically significant with this kind of data. Local micro climates aren't enough to explain it. Something was up there. Oh well.

My sort of anecdotal observation is that you begin to see a more significant decrease in snow along the immediate coast when you get to about Marshfield. Significant is relative of course when talking 45"+ or 35"+...but that seems to be where it starts to get more noticeable.

His map agrees with that. Norton POR since 1978 is 43.5" and BOX since 1994 is 44.6". Obviously BOX total includes good snow years, but I think argues for my educated guess. FWIW the Hingham guy near me since 1960 is 49.5". I'd say he's fairly consistent/conservative too.

He's no doubt over 36. Even the E Wareham coop is over 35"....and also has some missing data.

Yeah maybe a little more than Bob, but I think 40-43ish when you factor in long term (not just 30 yr).

BOS became pretty obvious with T/Td spreads of 3-4F in dense fog and ZR at 34F.

LOL. I have some wood to split and need another axe. I'm looking for something easy to get the job done.

Some in the industry thinking we may see a cold shot into the CONUS and eventually east early in December as Nino still doesn't have a defined look established. At the mercy of MJO/CCKW passages.

So something like this is no good? https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjZipb9z6CCAxVjTUcBHakiAIQYABAMGgJxdQ&ase=2&gclid=Cj0KCQjwy4KqBhD0ARIsAEbCt6hESNNM9Apob-0T6xALpnP5zsFGG7jMtluRww6_5HlubcRr-v0d2NEaAlkMEALw_wcB&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESVeD23rARlJQbn3ZNd1Ni0DoenRuWbxgXU9pllFNGYW4g53WFjgj-BHWgjtTmWJms3eazLj6LgpDPiwQELT0Qmoqp9fEvTfojr9iA_X33uv1CwiuJRxE&sig=AOD64_27Pw1J9Ow48i9kUo-XFsOAR67b3g&ctype=5&q=&nis=4&ved=2ahUKEwji-479z6CCAxVjpIkEHWeaBDkQ9aACKAB6BAgBEBs&adurl=

I've brought that up a few times. It does seem warm. I know where they're located etc....but still seemed to stick out to me.

I meant their comment about Novie.

I don't know...might be a touch flaccid. Give me an early torch November and let the bottom fall out T-day and beyond.

Doesn't mean much if December sucks.
