Accomplished with ease these days.
-
MPV is torching again this evening at 79F. A county north of there, we are 64/63 at the neighbor’s PWS. Same temp but drier dew in the field at the ASOS…64/60. Classic mixed vs calm obs. As soon as the wind calmed down the temps dropped fast.
-
Warmest of the day now at 85F. Evening torch.
-
Montpelier/MPV has gone up only 5 degrees since 4am .
-
81F. Meh, bummer, wanted 90s.
-
Put it in a textbook for mixing.
-
That was/has been one of my favorite winters as well. ‘10-11 was a classic for active, moisture rich patterns with well-timed air masses.
-
My favorite green is the fresh early warm season green, especially when we line up warmth and sun after rains.
-
Stunner of a day. 43F to 85F so far for a 42 diurnal swing.
-
Yeah even from Southbridge/Sturbridge to Woodstock… elevation is only like 250ft to 750ft (but urban to cornfields/forests) and it’ll go from 90F to 83F. Lebanon Hill Road drops like a degree every quarter mile, ha.
-
I feel like SNE has some of the most drastic low level lapse rates between like 200ft and 1,000ft elevations. We get it in NNE a bit but not like down there. It has to be going from like peak urban heat islands to forests and fields, mixed with the elevation changes.
-
Ha, raises hand. I feel like those are pretty universal though on electronic displays… sun or flame and snowflake.
-
To be honest, if I had to put window units in, I’m probably letting this stretch ride with 60s/40s back in the forecast right after. I think having every window blocked up for the foreseeable future every day its in the 60s might annoy me more than a couple nights without A/C. But I have a deep disdain for window units. Now just flip the remote to the snowflake icon for a couple days.
-
That was a mild night. 57F currently but it was 67F at 2am. Not humid (dews near 50F), just clouds and breeze didn’t allow any radiation at all.
-
73/40 Max of 75F so far. Bottle this up.
-
You guys have been in the radar firehose all day. Pivot point. Here it’s been 1.00-1.50”… the Worcester Range and SE has been 1.50”+.
-
I’ll let you two speak for each other, ha. I just didn’t see any real difference between those two images so you guys are showing about the same thing IMO.
-
Aren’t those both showing similar things? Admittedly don’t know climo as well, but is BDL like mid-70s around then? So goes from like almost +20 to -5 or so for highs between Tuesday/Wednesday and the weekend?
-
0.74”, with 0.30”/hr steady rain has finally moved in.
-
43F and rain here in town… 40F at 1500ft. 32F at 3600ft. Brutal.
-
As an online group, weather enthusiasts try to cauterize the shoulder seasons more and more each year. It’s either viewed under a lens where it’s supposed to be really nice and warm outside, or winter.
-
Had a window open here but no fan, ha. Nice crisp A/C like feeling.
-
Had light snow and graupel again today at 1,500ft. Dew points in the low to mid-20s have been quite effective at evaporationally cooling the cores of the showers.
-
Yeah I know I’ve seen like 3-6” overnight without the ASOS going below 2sm -SN in deep snow growth layer orographic snows. Big arms of dendrites hooking together. Honestly the late January storm yielded like 10” overnight of mid-level fluff at like 1.5”/hr in 3/4sm visibility. Meanwhile the flip side is you get the SWFE poor snow growth needles in a 6-hr QPF dump and struggling to 1.2”/hr snowfall but at M1/4, ha.
-
The 3/4-1.5sm -SN is probably one of the more over-stated weather obs by all. I mean, it can be 1”/hr though too with even decent snow growth at 3/4-1sm. So sometimes hard to fault folks. I will say if any of us started seeing 1.5sm vis -SN right now we’d say it was ripping out, lol. When you haven’t seen snow in a while, a mile and a half is a steady snowfall.
