moneypitmike Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 What do those temps have to do with this afternoon? At 1,000 feet I hope you know..you don't downslope. The valley will hit 53-56..The hills will stay in the upper 40's..who cares..it's a mild day..get outside and do something Is that a serious question? I'd say launch point has a lot to do with this afternoon. That glacier may start oozing south and taking your Davis lol. Maybe it'll deposit another boulder in Weymouth. Drove into Greenfield--pretty dense fog throughout the 700' drop. Was really suprised to see that. 34.0/30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Launch points are a little overrated. CON had 19F this AM and I had 26F, but there's no way I'll max out higher than them. Big ranges for the lower els today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 We had around 28" but will likely be like 22-23" after today. Already 41F on campus and NWS upped the high to 49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big ranges for the lower els today. I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying. You're comment speaks to the launch point from one location to launch point to another and where they end up for highs relative to each other. I'm not saying that. For example, Greenfield is cooler than me on 98% of the nights by several degrees. From a high standpoint, I typically am 5-9 degrees cooler. What I'm saying is that on a day like this, if I have a starting temp of 30*, I have an easier shot for 50* than if I have a 20* launch.low-lying. Of course, that's not the case in all instances (CAA resulting in a nocturnal high,e.g.). 36.6/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With full sun and decent mixing I just don't think it mattered that much if you had a low of 20F or 30F. The BL is going to adiabatically warm from whatever the mixing level is anyways. MAV has 52F for CON with H85 thetas around 283K so the mixing height should be around there if MAV verifies. I think CON could've been 0F this morning and they'd still push 50F.

moneypitmike Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 To downplay the impact of this warmth on the snow is denying the reality of physics. It's taking a beating no matter how you look at it. 45.8/24, interestingly off a high of 46.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground is far from visible here walking distance to the finish line of the marathon. I have a deep pack late day on a mild day and will after the cold moves back in tomorrow night.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 More clouds tmrw, does anyone have a link to the snowpack temperature graphic. How ripe is the pack. Sun is setting worst behind us, hopefully its cloudy tmrw as more snow is in the cards and we can make one more run at snow pack highs for season into early march.

N. OF PIKE Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I think all else being equal ginxy , clouds would limit it. Thou if the pack is "ripe/near 32 snow temp" alot more could go. Tonite is torchy w these winds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
