    We tried to tell 'em.

    I believe the cause in Nova Scotia was human activity like @powderfreak described. The official reporting I've seen from Quebec is that most of the fire starts have been lightning (because there aren't any humans in some of these areas).
  3. OceanStWx
    Plenty of lightning on the 1st.

    MSS visibility under 2 miles in smoke. Impressive.

    Some gusty wind/small hailers for Wiz tomorrow? The RAP forecast soundings aren't the worst I've ever seen.

    The end is beer?

    First 18 of the year in the books. 2 birdies and still shot an 88.

    Birds got 'em last year, I built a cage. Frost takes them this year.

    @Damage In Tolland will be excited to hear that I switched to AC 3 weeks ago. Of course when I'm sleeping during the day on mids and the door is closed my room always sneaks up into the 73/74 degree range because we have so much southern exposure. But I shut all the other heat pumps off and switch mine to cooling.

    Yeah, it was a natural feature of my lawn after we built. It honestly wouldn't be my first choice, but it does keep everything green when the south part is baking. My neighbors think it's grass before they actually walk over.

    I'm not sure what where I'm from has to do with it. In no circumstance should the NWS being weighing in on the SoCal homeless situation. By all means, go off on your personal Twitter if it bothers you, but the NWS WFO feed is for weather information only. We're not even allowed to use the phrase Super Bowl, so opining on a side of a policy debate is absolutely a no go.

    You would be surprised how often somebody logs into personal and office and forgets which they are posting from. I also wish I could say this will result in a severe punishment for the person responsible, but that's pretty unlikely. Maybe some unpaid leave, but you have to really go above and beyond to get fired once you are past probation. Like use government car for personal use bad.

    That's when I would be aching for an 8 inch gauge. I built myself a coring tube from 4 inch PVC piping, but the 8 inch gauge can just hold more liquid for adding hot water for the melt.

    Must not have been a Coop report, because I only see one snow report for March 2001 (14" on the 6th) and missing for the rest. Could be part of the reason why the Coop closed.
  16. OceanStWx
    Probably a combination of proximity and elevation. Monadnocks are just closer to the mean low track, and even if we get one to tuck the elevation just doesn't ramp up as quickly in our immediate vicinity.
  17. OceanStWx
    Best we can manage with Coops at the time is near Fitzwilliam with 24" at 1200 ft or so. So somebody higher up probably got plastered.
  18. OceanStWx
    17.1" at GYX, 16.5" at PWM.

    I’d be writing my local representative.

    I would like to see the difference between east and west facing elevations too. A little upslope cooling may have made a big difference early on. Not positive, but those may be actual surveyed depths from official sites for SWE. Look at me up there around the highest point in Portland with a half inch more. Probably more compaction than anything else though.
  21. OceanStWx
    It is a bit of a bummer to be able to shovel the driveway and see grass after a winter storm warning.
  22. OceanStWx
    They probably will. Gotta collect all the Coops and CoCoRaHS reports and weed out the slant stickers.
  23. OceanStWx
    The NWS almost always will fall below the number on extreme snowfall, you just can’t walk it back once the horse is out of the barn. You rarely ever see an OKX 2015 kind of disaster forecast. And in general we’re slow to ramp up to those extreme numbers as they are occurring. Like October 2011 and December 2020 in NH for us.
  24. OceanStWx
    4.8” on 0.91” liquid Probably puts me just above normal though.
  25. OceanStWx
    We do well in our own backyard (like any office). Maybe some growing pains, but I think it’s mostly being spoon fed these new forecast processes in an attempt to make the national maps more collaborated across borders.
