Now we are like “it got into the 40s for 7 hours!”

I bet everything about life was harsh in the 1690s too.

53F, clear, stars out.

Today is phenomenal. Widespread 40s to start the day. Low of 43F and up to 73F currently.

Would you agree that changing the name of Manchester Regional Airport or Hot Springs, New Mexico may be in a different class than major international bodies of water? Just speaking in terms of factual size/scope.

Yeah not sure that’s on the same level as changing the name of JFK airport or Fort Bragg .

That stuff is hard to fathom like a 5-story wall of water and mud moving through. No chance at survival.

2008 had 0 hours of dews above 70F in August? Yore.

+4 at SLK is still a very cold winter for 90% of New England lol. Like the minimum temp was 3F instead of -1F.

Bummer on the snow depth down to 0”.

Yeah, that’s fair for sure. It’s not ideal, ha. That CON one is even better than BTV, damn. 31” at almost +9. Looks like a lot of low diurnal swing days around freezing after an early month torch.

Depends on how we get to +4… we’ve had some luck recently with that because it never radiates all month and its like +5 because mins average 18F instead of 11F. We’ve had some whopper departures though recently that come out passable. BTV had measurable snowfall on 17 days in Jan 2023, 19.9” fell (average of 17.4”)… with a +8.3 departure . Every day was like 35/25 which is like +12.

Love it… “Today is one of those chamber of commerce type days…”

Rain? Full sun.

Somehow BTV is only +0.5 but MPV is +2.8. Lack of radiating hurting some sites, but BTV has no radiating anyway so doesn’t seem to matter there. Though the past week has tried to mute the positive departures.

Orographic precipitation in NNE has to be up there on the list, ha.

Inside the danger zone is the Armageddon zone, ha. That’s how the public reads that.

Can you meh yourself back into 1”+?

Isn’t that how summer precip has been for a century? It’ll usually average out to near an inch per week, but you sure as hell aren’t getting it that consistently.

Ha, my first thought when I saw the post about 100F was, Vortex is going to have something to say about that. Good perspective.

We hit 44F this morning… felt autumn-ish.

First day that felt a bit more like fall. 67F off a high of 70F… Partly sunny, dews 48-52F.

The description of “Welcome to Logan: Boston’s Urban Asshole” has a nice billboard ring to it.

Yeah I’m not saying it couldn’t be historically bad… I’m just not going to brace mentally for the all-time bad outcome. I’d think 20-25% below normal could be a reasonable expectation, but I’m not ready to assume 50%+ or something like 2015-16.

That would've been great for interior Vermont... the picture for east of the Spine would be amazing with a radar site at MPV. Given the high terrain in northern New England, there really is no best spot. Ideally you'd have one east of the Spine, plus in the Champlain Valley, and another in the St Lawrence Valley... no matter the site, there are going to be limitations because of the terrain. Even if you put the radar site on Mount Mansfield, the beam is starting 4,000+ feet above the ground... when that beam will sample areas around it, the height will likely be even higher. Either way you are sampling 6,000ft+ in a lot of areas.
