Radiational cooling happens all the time all year long.
-
Yeah the SLK 1,600ft rad pit lol. Anything 1,000ft that radiates too is probably ideal to be honest if we want to go down the “best” rabbit hole. Pete/SkiMRG always had a great spot for that… like 1300ft but in a hollow.
-
I’d take the elevation AND the radiational cooling. You can have both, doesn’t have to be one or the other. Though this discussion inevitably turns into a competition for some reason lol. In the summer you do get the cooler days that you love to post about up there on the hilltop. We know you enjoy hitting 84.6F while posting about 90+.
-
I dunno, most posters seemed to have mentioned frost it seems. Even ineedsnow right next to ORH at 1000ft has been in the 20s I think? Regardless of real vs fake cold, there seem to be a lot who have frosted I guess was my point. Sure there are areas that haven’t. We should do a poll on here .
-
I still can’t believe you haven’t come close to sniffing 32F yet. Most have had at least a frost by now though.
-
BDR, PWM, BTV… where else so far?
-
What’s the all-time November record down there?
-
Ha right. Sometimes you just need to know when to hold ‘em and fold ‘em.
-
Some can’t seem to stick to discussing weather… that’s been the age old reason for getting booted. Some topics are better left to other mediums/forums/social media spaces, ha.
-
Cold front came through last night. Only 64F here today.
-
About 2/3rds of an inch of rain with the line last night. Cooled all the way down into the 50s.
-
FROPA is on its way to end the party.
-
72/57 at 8pm here at MVL. Another summer evening. This heater has been everything it was advertised to be. Full on record setting in so many aspects.
-
Ah gotcha, I thought you were implying above normal temps again. I misinterpreted “mild.” You really mean just normal early Dec temps and not going straight into well below normal, constant winter weather, sub-freezing, fare.
-
What are the average highs Thanksgiving into early Dec? What you describe sounds normal to be honest. Looks like even 1,000ft in ORH has an average high in the 40s on Dec 1st?
-
Got down to 61F at 5:30pm… then the wind blew and it’s back to 70F at 6:30pm .
-
Everyone wins.
-
A lot of the records MVL is beating are Nov 2006… another banner start to a winter. Neither of those years though had even a prayer on the long range, so we can avoid that at least, ha.
-
Up at the picnic tables now, shorts and t-shirt. Near 60F, another record high (maybe the 3-4th this week?). Hair dryer south wind. Hope everyone is enjoying it outside. Hard to make snow right now.
-
Congrats. All-Time November max temp back to 1882. Never been higher in 140 years.
-
Yeah wasn't complaining, just musing. We can't control it so just go with the flow and enjoy whatever comes. Been a great weekend to be honest.
-
It's wild that the picnic tables had their first snow of an inch or two back on October 8th... and then will go a month+ without seeing snow again this time of year, ha.
-
I'm getting there, ha. The last several cycles of the GFS have been pretty consistent in that trough moving in at day 7 (next Sunday) not being just a transient in/out. I want to keep seeing that not being modeled as a 72-hour shot followed by moderating again. For the ski areas the key will be sustaining that cold through that following week. The trough seems fairly high-confidence now... but if 850s can stay below 0C for that entire week that's a bit difference from just cold then lift out.
-
Yeah it looks to flip hard. Op model guidance has a few more widespread wintry threats. Almost some SWFE sliders in there too.
-
Dude! Look at MVL. 71F at 3:54am. Thats like the average June max temp. We set a whole bunch of hourly Nov temp records last night.
