    Was dumping fluffy cottonballs at Berkshire east. Nice little topping for the surfaces. 1.5" at the house in Btown. And yeah... saw 4 accidents on the ride home.

    12/25/02 was absolutely pounding white out snow on 128 until flipping to heavy rain somewhere near the stupid 93 intersection where you're going north south east and west at the same time.

    This. Unrelated to this event, but it's also almost like the east west running valley funnels in warm layers aloft sometimes. It'll be pinging there and snowing north and south. I suppose it probably relates to some relative lack of orographic lift locally such that cold air is not dragged down through shallow warm layers. It's weird though. Have always wondered if somehow the channel could extend off the ground. At any rate I'm not too bullish for them. S VT peaks moreso. Glop for the base.

    New England has a million great places to live. Just ask MPM.

    Fairly chilly day here. 26/16 OVC.

    Ice in Petersham was plenty safe. 4-5". Several skaters although the surfaces were partially snowcovered and a bit less than ideal. Some warm rain would help. Ice fishermen on some of the bigger ponds. Gorgeous afternoon up at Stone Cow too.

    Yeah I was gonna do my first examination of elevated, shallow ponds today. We're getting close.

    Back half of a nina isn't generally promising for the MA, hopefully they can score an event or two here in the next few weeks. And climo is favorable enough locally to slowly build the icepack even with boring, slightly AN temps. Light winds too. Reason for cautious optimism from the models last night. Hounds may be starting to stir.

    We've lost track of how many times that sort of thing has happened

    The best

    The way those snowholes appear over this area on every model for every event it's surprising we average more than GON

    Nice to see some arctic air show up in Euro fantasy land. Folks can have their blocking I'll take a cold air mass and my chances from there. Hopefully it's onto something.

    Took this pic 20 years ago. 18-24" fresh on 12/31/00 @ Stratton on a disposable panoramic camera. Hell of a way to close out the millenium.

    JanuBURIED part deux?

    Even if arctic cold is not likely with a lousy pacific and AN heights in E Canada, maybe the heart of climo can deliver enough cold air for some decent pond ice. 09/10 was a good skating year.

    Wet avy on 12/25 is less than ideal

    Is there anything on earth better for kids than a snow fort? I say no

    I posted this in the New England thread, but let me show an example of what I'm talking about above... https://emmy7.casa.umass.edu/umaxx/nexrad.html This is just BOX and ENX data and granted I am not generating large composites or all the dual pol products, but from a pure browser speed perspective, note the difference between generating/overlaying full PPIs vs tiling on the weather service page. You don't have to have 'map move' event listeners, nor handle tons of tiling queries.
  20. radarman
    Color maps and user interface aside, the biggest single issue is that the tiling service is slow af. And the thing about it is for single radar stuff, there is almost no reason you need to have a tiling service these days. Modern browsers, normal connection speeds ( even on mobile), do just fine handling the full images overlaid on a map. The single quickest way to get the popcorn gallery to simmer down at least a little bit would be to toss that and just generate the full radar images.

    December 2011 might have been pretty awful up there, I don't really recall however. Was certainly awful down here. Maybe they scored some upslope or something. edit- Dec 2015 too maybe?
  22. radarman
    Not sure if it's happened since, but definitely was the case in Dec 06. And really nothing changed until Mid Jan, just got worse in fact.

    Purely IMBY impact (winter) 1) octobomb 2) april fools 97 (lexington) 3) Jan 11 4) Feb 01 5) feb 13 Honorable mentions Dec 08 and jan 98 icestorms... I saw both firsthand but didn't get the brunt of either. Both would fight with Octobomb for #1

    I threw this together a second ago... Folks are welcome to use until they fix the main page. It's not really intended for this purpose, but I'm happy to take suggestions if folks are interested. Has BOX and ENX base reflectivity and velocity. You can also view old data by clicking the clock icon in the top left corner. https://emmy7.casa.umass.edu/umaxx/nexrad.html *best viewed on Chrome

    I was just trying to use it and I noticed that the tiles were painfully slow to load. At some point the browser just gave up and I have a checkerboard like thing going on. That's gonna need some attention.
