Maybe climate change can turn us to a semi arid climate and have wet winters. Let’s get the flagstaff climate! 100 inches of snow, summers where dew point is always under 50

I’d like to see the temps. Can’t imagine many if any of those had 80+ temps

I think it’s breezy enough to not let things stagnate

Looks like our classic snow map

Not sure I’ve ever seen those swings around here outside of spring or fall when we get a massive cold front. I said elsewhere that it reminds me of flagstaff where you often get highs in the mid 80’s and lows in the 40’s, but that is usually reserved for more arid climates

In all my life here I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a high in the mid 80’s and few points in the 40’s, let alone the 30’s.

Low of 52 last night. Pretty unusual to continue and see these low humidity conditions and it’s honestly really unusual in the summer to see highs pushing the mid 80’s then crashing to the low 50’s overnight

This heat is going to be a rarity, as usually 90 means 65 plus dew points. It isn’t forecast to get over 50 really in this timeframe and honestly it’s the weather I’d expect in flagstaff az not here. I would also think there is a rather high fire risk incoming. It’s been dry, and you’re looking at 90 degree temps, 40 degree temps, and a fairly consistent 10mph breeze.

Enjoy this weather now. We are probably only a couple of weeks away from 3 straight months of 60+ dew points.

Yeah watching the pirates in Boston right now really drives home that point

Well I mean if there was going to be a high tornado threat they’d likely have continued east with the tornado watch instead of severe thunderstorm

Honestly it feels wonderful out today. With the breeze and 52 dew point if our summers were like this it would be great. problem is if it’s 85 in the summer it almost always means 65 plus dew point

Severe thunderstorm watch to the west is a good sign for those of us that don’t want tornadoes

I might just say screw it and off myself if we ever hit 96 in april.

I didn’t even complain this winter, because honestly there wasn’t even a last minute screw job where it rained and Youngstown got a foot. We didn’t even have a winter storm watch and I’m not sure we had more than two WWA’s. as far as someone upthread was mentioning about summer. It’s sucks. If it was 85 with 40 degree dew points and we dipped into the 50-55 range at night it would be fantastic. We obviously aren’t high desert so I get incredibly tired of the endless cycle of 80-90, constant dew points 60 or higher, and not seeing a temp in the 50’s for July and august. We do not do dry heat at all here

Welp

I don’t ever remember it being this frequent

Does it feel to you that there are many more borderline events that change over way faster or are plain rain as opposed to at least long mixing periods. I can’t remember the last time we had a good front end thump of four inches, then followed by hours of mixing before turning to rain. I mean hell, I think of the December event last year where we had a near perfect track yet mixed most of the event.

I agree, climate change can’t be viewed on such a small scale, but I think that over the last 10-15 years it certainly anecdotally feels way warmer than when I was growing up. A 60 degree day in February growing up was a really unique occasion and now seems to happen much more often

Climate change is real. Period

I think denying climate change is really shutting your eyes at this point. Individual data points of individual locations is not a great way to look at it, but it’s pretty undeniable on a global scale https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/

I really haven’t even looked or tracked this winter. The last two winters were decent, and honestly came with a few bigger storms which was a nice change in comparison to a long time where we couldn’t even get a warning level event. that said, it sure feels like we don’t even get the overrunning events where we start with multiple hours before torching, even if means a sloppy mess of snow and ice. It seems now everything just turns to liquid really fast. And if we are forecasted all snow most of the time it ends in a mess

Also, clarion has verified blizzard conditions. Bradford has come close

There are multiple stations north of us reporting heavy snow but looking at the radar I find that dubious. Have to wonder if stations aren’t picking up on the blowing?

Literal white out right now
