Typhoon Tip

Welp, it's 71 F with snow in the yard and fields ... -that settles that debate

I guess "impractical" would have been a better word choice. heh. I don't have any grievances with people willing to share - although some in here do tend to lean of those that don't share in theirs.

Now's a good time for the GFS' projection to wind up a hornet sting through an isothermal sounding.

I don't get into the winter grading thing ... much, but, it seems to me it's all just about an arithmetic between individualized preferences, minus experiences. Which due to the former, cannot be universal... thus, making grading utterly useless. It cannot be standardized for the simple reason that no two "snow flakes'" preferences are exactly the same. In fact, vary too much to depend on any scale to fairly label the thing.

65 here... not bad for 11am ( which is really 10 am in non fake human time) ...

Not asking me ...but "month of threats" overstates that? The rhetoric should really be "month of diminishing returns, but that doesn't mean zero" - that's painting a more realistic and fair picture, when factoring climatology, both standard and definitely CC-fixing. I can coherently sense these increasing limitations in the recent guidance tenors.

"we" meaning in this area here Aside, the post was about 'warm being defeated' ... some were using snow as the observational proxy in that, which was dumb and proves a filtration bias in the first place because it was warm yesterday. Frankly, I care less about the snow stuff anyway. We did lose a substantial amount though. It looks like half..

We lost 1/2 fwiw -

I suspect this is a PR method though, developed out of a complex human equation containing lots and lots of complete dip-shit oblivion reasons. That is a large spectrum of Darwinisms that range from the higher thinking capacity of the mouth breathers, over to just general irresponsible apathy. Those hashing are not tapping our shoulders. They're trying to save those non-suspecting lives and this method may "solve" that equation above - or attempts to.

Still looks like a remarkably well handled back door front arrives to kill the fun like 9 pm flickering blue lights for tomorrow. It's true though that Thursday should really remove the remainder of flat expanse coverage down to mud and field if today doesn't. It'll be windy warm DP air with 60s out ahead of that front. It's the difference between dropping ice in the sink, versus then turning on the warm water.

Nahhh... everyone lost 1/3 to 1/2 of their snow under 68 F and beating sun, yesterday. Just because you can't yet see bare ground, doesn't mean warmth was defeated. Man, the filtration that goes on in here looks like reality rendering at times

Meh... stop seeking dopa in this engagement, you'll be fine. Seek that blue light psychotropic internet high through bipolar chart joy and that's what you get. LOL Anyway, it looks like the models are opting for something like a typical March changeability more than a real cold signal. And as typical, we've shed the deeper more persistent cold, much to some user bemusement ..., in lieu of cold fronts that rollout in time. You can see that.... 00z Euro's cold behind Thursday front has a smaller integral for amplitude and size than the 00z run from 24 hours prior. I said this was likely to happen... the -PNAP aspect of the -PNA would have a tendency to back off a little due to two aspects: models over amplitude correcting; seasonality approaching the Equinox. We'll see... the best hope for still getting something done before the 22nd ... 23rd ... would be a pinch low scenario. That's when the N/stream's brief knife pulls out, and there's some residual bagginess that then closes off...

That might actually be the most extreme I've seen a pure drainage/radiator night's temperature differences, ever, in this region. 48 at ORH to 31 here in the Nashoba Valley 40 now..

The PNA index could fit an even in there and it wouldn't be an egregious correlation ... However, given to the time of year and the tenor of the guidance combined, those factors lean me to thinking it's more a period with active cold fronts - each imparting testicle squeezes to spring/warm enthusiasts ... while simultaneously not doing jack shit for winter/cold holdouts - who probably would smugly take that as a win because their petty but that's something else. LOL

All springs do this ... possible exceptions being 2010 maybe 2012? otherwise, they never get warm and stay warm. They always lube you up with massages for 2 days, then pour ice water down your pants before running out the back door.

rgem with a bd too

That is a nasty nasty BD on the NAM... has Boston plummeting to the upper 30s on Wed ... 24 hour ahead of the main front. It's probably got boundary layer lag bias. It's the same reason why it can't warm the BL sufficiently at this time of year in general - today, etc..; they've sort of designed a model that over assesses the Ekman stuff. That said... it's also hard to argue BDs in eastern NE at any time of year, let alone f'um March.

60! warmest it's been since sometime in autumn

54 at Worcester... 39 at Fitchburg

Looks on vis loop like terrain induced, then venting down stream. Probably just needs the sun to work on the tow source and then it will dry out?

Perfect maple weather last night... Cold, then recovering for a sunny mild afternoon. My sis lives on 40 acres up in Winchendon and says the sap's flowin' Buckets are drippin good flow rates. Despite the impression of still biology out there, life is showing signs.

That's not what I said so don't "yup" me... haha. I said the NAM may not be right about the magnitude. I also said the NAM could be wrong about the absolute wind direction - if it's more 240 than indirect cooling is likelier confined to SE zones. The NAM is right to cool the air mass that passes over the Bite water region NE of Jersey, in general

In principle the NAM isn't wrong there. It may not be correct about the degree/offset, but if the wind is well mixing and actively SSW across the area ... that's sourced from the very cold Bite waters. It's a matter of how much. If the vector's more 240 it'll be confined to SE zones.

MAV nailed the 20s ... I was doubting that but nice job there Equally handsome could be the recovery ... if so, one of if not the greatest of the year. possible 40 F +

Yeah, I’m not talking about the run itself. I’m just what my thoughts are on that period.
