Trying hard for it to be in NNE, then models shift it strongly into your area and now you are trying hard for the mid-Atlantic? I can’t figure out if you want rain or not anymore lol.

I am sort of rooting for the more Stein vocal N.CT to Taunton axis to end up with the most rainfall of all of New England by the time fall arrives so when people look back on water totals in 2022 warm season they’ll be like “what drought?”

The problem is think about if you hacked into those systems… you hack an airline’s AI that takes over control and you have some Tom Clancy novel stuff going on with terrorists remotely controlling a jetliner or something.. I think there’s strong resistance to allow a computer or outside entity take over manual controls.

Yeah he stole a commercial airline, I think it was Alaskan Air? They had fighter jets with him and I think he even pulled off a full loop-de-loop in the thing… there’s some audio of the Air Force guys being like “That was nuts.” Unfortunately he did crash it into an uninhabited island after trying a bunch of stunts.

That’s my type of golf right there. 85-90. Beautiful evening at a campfire… Treehouse brews and dare I say the Carhartt hoodie and shorts felt mighty comfortable. Certainly could’ve done without the hoodie too though. Keeps the mosquitoes at bay.

COC business suits out today in CT. This weather is intoxicating. Weekend forecast on my folks’ hallway wall:

It’ll be much narrower than the global model QPF too IMO. Along that boundary. HRRR, 3km NAM, etc will show that.

Timely post as it looked like most guidance shifted south a bit. Hope you get drenched so I can head back north and get a nice afternoon/evening hike in. GFS almost lets me. GGEM spreads the wealth.

Crisp night in NE CT. Feels wonderful. Different type of blue. Saw MVL at home made it to 39F and nearest PWS was 39.6F (ode to MPM).

Cold air mass when it’s 50F and OVC at 4,000ft at MVL. Lately needed full great rad cooling conditions to get that before midnight. Need it to clear out. Lol at Wind Chill of 12F on MWN. Mansfield wind chill is 28F.

I’m on the same page, just busting balls about summer radiational evenings. I knew the forecast and didn’t even bring a hoodie down to CT. T-shirts and shorts all the time. I’ll do hoodie and shorts deep into fall even up north. As long as you keep your core/organs and head warm, that’s all that matters. I’ll hike in shorts until Nov as long as I’m moving and the core is layered warm. Or shorts with like Under Armor base layer bottoms. Look like a hippie on the Appalachian Trail a bit with tights and hiking shoes but I hate walking/hiking/active in pants.

Definitely a Chamber day like everyone loves. I could do 6 straight months of this to be honest.

Ah how about 60s in the evening?

Ok so summer evenings are no hoodies needed unless it’s 40s or 50s type cold as AWT. Thanks for clearing it up.

So like in summer and now, when do you guys put on hoodies because it seems like no matter what temperature it is you guys balk at the notion of hoodies? Plenty of times we post in summer that it’s like upper 60s to low-70s at like 8pm and the comment is always comments that no one wants hoodies around the camp fire.

Hold up. Don’t you bitch and moan that no one wants to wear hoodies in mid-summer when someone posts that its below 75F in the evening? Then when you experience an afternoon high of 72F you wear shorts and tees “well into the night?” Something isn’t adding up there… hmm, smells a bit weird out, kinda like we stepped in bullshit .

36F at MWN with wind chill of 19F . Chilly for the hikers.

Yeah I see MVL has been bouncing around 57-64F depending on solar the past two hours. Lots of variation in the 5-min temps. 59F at 12:30pm and 61F at 1:30pm. Dews of 44F. That’s some legit fall-like airmass. I have 74F and low humidity in NE CT.

Upgraded the fabled east slopes of the Greens. Green as can be but ground water is low. Saw Stowe saw the daily 0.13” in the past 24 hours. Nice to see Taunton area recognized and downgraded.

It must be hard to read about humans having positive, pleasant memories of anything.

That makes sense, or at least some low level enhancement on cyclonic NW winds off Ontario. Bonkers to have 30”+ lollipops from the mountains of NC all the way up through the northern Champlain Valley (likely into Canada too). I wish we could see something like this with today’s model data. The media hype would be off the charts if a 48-hour ECMWF prog was showing this lol. “Nah it’s wrong, ain’t happening” - this forum.

The record books say only 1888 I think was better, but I haven’t read much on the wind during that event. Either way as a kid that 1993 storm was one of my first true snowstorm memories as like a wow, this is on another level compared to snow we get around here. I’m not sure if it blocked out everything before that but I can’t remember any specific snowstorm prior to that in my childhood. Anyway, nice trip down memory lane. I love when Will starts posting more frequently, we start talking snow.

But the best was even further west it seems. SYR with 42” from March 1993?! 35.6” of it in 24 hours. Holy crap. SYR records: 1. 35.6 inches of snow in twenty four hours (10am Saturday - 10am Sunday.) The previous record was 27.2 inches set in January 1925. 2. 22.1 inches of snow on Saturday, March 13, breaking the old snowfall record for that date which was 4.1 inches set in 1961. 3. 19.9 inches of snow on Sunday, March 14, breaking the old snowfall record for that date which was 8.6 inches set in 1956.

Ha, I just had to look it up, KALB gusted 53mph during the height of it it looks like. Guilderland, NY, next door to childhood home was 29.6”. That combo of 50+ wind and ~30” of snow is likely hard to beat in the Hudson Valley/Capital District area.

I have some photos from my childhood home somewhere, that I truly believe is the largest/best snowstorm in my lifetime at that location. Drifts were 5+ feet around the house and the Hudson Valley doesn’t really do windy/drifty snowstorms. It looks like it had to be 30” on the level and it was dense wind-packed. There have been deform band 20-25” storms but the snow was just different in March 1993. It was packed like concrete. I know ALB gusted 50-60mph in that which is nothing for you coastal dwellers but in the Hudson River Valley that’s unheard of in a synoptic snow IMO.
