ski MRG Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 37/35 Nice day on tap. Finally get some yard work done. So Irene wiped out the Greenfield public golf course in August and I just heard that yesterday the Greenfield Country Club burned to the ground. Total loss and many members had their equipment stored there. Saw that on the news. Perfect excuse to get new clubs. Hmmmmm that gives me an idea.

Total loss and many members had their equipment stored there. I saw the Irene damage last Saturday when I was on my way back from W. Springfield. That's too bad.

dendrite Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Can you use power tools ? Maybe we could work something out. I had my GPS on, not to tell me where I was going, but to see what the elevation was. When we got above 1400' I laughed and told Lisa "we're up higher than MRG's place right now."There was a big difference between 1kft and 1.5kft in the foliage. 1kft had moderate leaf drop and a mix of color/brown. 1.5kft was almost complete leaf drop.

We're pretty much bare here and above my house nothing left essentially. 2k has been bare for a while now. It is amazing how elevation is such a player even when it's just a couple of hundred feet. That's why I can't wait to move to AK where the elevation changes are in the thousands of feet. My brainwashing of the wife is starting to pay off. She has agreed to move.....if I can provide a second home in Hawaii which is a relatively short flight away. Is Hawaii expensive? Tell the little lady your clubs were stored there... I'm surprised you golf Pete. I thought that it would be a little too girlie man of a sport for you This is the end of my 4th season. I grew up in a family of Doctors that were all avid golfers. I played a little when I was a teen but always rejected it in favor of tennis. A few years ago one of my close friends that is a golfer agreed, after constant teasing, to resume skiing if I played a round of golf with him. I held up my end of the bargain and ended up getting addicted. He has yet to ski with me.lol To play it proficiently you must have strength, great eye/hand coordination and perhaps most importantly the ability to focus mentally. I've had to eat my words about golf but I'm so very happy to have a way to pass the off season which, at times, is unbearably long. Down to an 8 handicap this year with the ultimate goal of being a scratch golfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 somewhat of an archambault signal on the Euro and Euro Ensembles. The support for some kind of storm is there...the GFS was probably not right in just making it a cold front for a few runs. There is blocking but it gradually weakens with the storm development.

SEVERAL THINGS ARE TO BLAME, THEY SAY, INCLUDING RAINFALL AND HUMIDITY DURING SPRING FLOWERING. THE LACK OF ACORNS MAY NOT BE ALL BAD.

Tropopause_Fold Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 wonder if guidance brings back the more inland bombing solution over the next few days. we're in that anecdotal window where sometimes we see models lose something only to see it come back in a day or two.

It's a pretty complicated set-up. Depends how much and when it begins to phase with the northern stream. It could still end up being a snowstorm for Michigan lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Wow...quite the inversion on the Albany, NY sounding this morning. I doubt we're going to be able to mix it out today. As such, looks like mostly cloudy skies will continue, despite the NWS forecast for mostly sunny skies here. Clouds were persistent here all night, keeping us at 43º, while places in CT that cleared out got close to freezing. No freeze here yet. At this rate, it will snow before we get a freeze. Not too excited about the upcoming threat yet for this area just yet, but it bears watching. Some flakes at 2K looks like a good possibility as the system pulls away, particularly if GFS has its way.

OKX this morning .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 900 AM UPDATE...A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH CLOUD COVER TODAY. STRONG SUBSIDENCE HAS MOISTURE TRAPPED BELOW. NWP SYSTEMS DID A HORRIBLE JOB FORECASTING THIS. WILL THUS FOLLOW LATEST RUC...PERSISTENCE AND SUBJECTIVE LOCAL KNOWLEDGE TO KEEP CLOUDS IN FOR THE EASTERN SECTION AND LET THEM ERODE OVER THE CITY.

Hudson Valley runner. Yesterdays GFS had some more wound up solutions. It's the Euro and GGEM that are losing this way SE right now... but they could def be right too in taking the baroclinic axis all the way to the coast instead of hanging it up in the interior.

ORH_wxman Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 2-4 flakes Yeah probably, lol. I'm starting to think first flakes (at least for the hills) are going to happen in this whole cold snap...even if its cold rain that ends as flakes or a few flakes as the core of the upper low passes over...even on the 2nd shortwave.

icebreaker5221 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Certainly an interesting and quite complicated situation setting up this week, and a great way to stir the :weenie:s out of hibernation. Hoping you guys get something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's a pretty complicated set-up. Depends how much and when it begins to phase with the northern stream. It could still end up being a snowstorm for Michigan lol It's true. It's inherently an unstable solution without any significant blocking upstream or downstream. The whole set up is dependent on a transient 50/50 low with minimal shortwave ridging between the two troughs, so it acts to suppress everything south, rather than amplifying into a GL cutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
