Great Snow 1717

If my memory is serving me well I think that site was knocked offline during one of the storms that occurred in March. Since then I've noticed the temp has run even warmer. It's been a "hot" site for years but I'm wondering if the site occurred some damage during the series of storms in March. And I also think the site was knocked offline during the storm at the end of October.

How long ago did you report it to Box? My area radiates very well I live on a circle in Methuen but there is a lot of open land that surrounds my neighborhood. There are open fields and farmland to my W/NW/N

I agree. I've seen the temp there be in the upper 30's in CAD situations but at my home it will be in the upper 20's or around freezing. And there will be snow/sleet/freezing rain falling in those situations. I have reported the issue to the NWS on a number of occasions. A few years ago someone at NWS told me they do not have much confidence in the data from LWM.

Your suspicion is well justified. The temps there have been off for many years. Today the morning low was 57 with a dew point low of 44. Compare that reading to other reports across EMA.

If my memory is serving me well there was only one "official" below zero reading at LWM during the severe cold outbreak during late December into January. The temps there have been off for years.

Yeah and I'm laughing at those temps. I actually do not live all that far from the airport. The temps at the airport have run on the high side for years especially so during the summer and winter months. As does the precip report during storms. I can't even begin to tell you how many times the report reads rain when it has actually been snowing. I wouldn't trust that site for reports. Someone long ago should have taken a look at what is causing the false readings out of that site.

I agree with you. This heatwave was not a widespread historic heatwave. In Methuen there were 2 days that held in the 80's.

My exact sentiments.

A more global story https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/red-hot-planet-all-time-heat-records-have-been-set-all-over-the-world-during-the-past-week/ar-AAzxdnO?ocid=spartanntp

I agree. The ground has gone from beyond being saturated to bone dry. Some cities and towns have already implemented watering restrictions.

Ray, I do think there is a good chance of a moderate El Nino. Hopefully it doesn't evolve into a strong one.

So at this point in time where do you think the storm could potentially track? Do you have any thoughts on the Atlantic hurricane season?

I wouldn't be at all surprised if you are correct.

Once again you resort to some form of name calling by using "she" in reference to me. It goes hand in hand with you referring to other people on the forum as being sick or freaks when they do not agree with your warped views regarding the weather. It's pretty typical for someone who is in jr high but not typical for an adult. Now please provide any links to any mets who have compared 2017 to 1816. If such links even existed you would have long ago provided them.

He has an insatiable desire to be right 100 percent of the time.

Can't be!!.....I don't believe it. The GOD of all weather has proclaimed it as a miss to the right. Perhaps it's a Tanaka storm??.....similar to missing in the strike zone and allowing 3 HR's????

You have had a week or so to provide links to any met who is seriously mentioning 2017 as a legitimate comparison to 1816. In other words you have had more than ample time to provide a link..a twitter handle...a FB page. a website..anything at all, but yet you have failed to provide anything to substantiate your claim. And by the way "mets" is plural so please provide 2 or more "mets" who have mentioned 1816 in regards to 2017. What has occurred this spring has happened before in SNE What happened in 1816 was an extreme event and not just for SNE. Plain and simple there is no comparison to 1816 nor will there be. And everyone here but you realizes it.

Once again, please provide the links to the mets who are comparing 2017 to the summer of 1816. Thank you

A more important question to ask is "would he have installed" ????

The dust from Tambora is just now settling over Tolland........it's why the 4th of July soccer tourney is being renamed to The Tambora Invitational at Mt Tolland. The pre tourney favorites are the "High Dews"....naturally they are from Mt Tolland. They winners will split a check for $1816.00.

Provide the links to any so called "mets" who are mentioning 1816.....and Wally in the 8th grade earth science class at Tolland JR High doesn't count. Plain and simple there isn't any comparison to 1816.
