Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ran the ac in my office today. The torch continues. This winter is on life support. Mine is on right now it's so muggy papers are curling. 55 at 1012pm at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people didn't want to believe it when we said the torch pattern was bad into early Dec...even snow mongers like me and Coastalwx....I hate it, but there is a reason we all said "fear the AK vortex"....its a horrific pattern. Its slightly relaxed but still bad...but the slight relaxation will give us a shot at a couple snow events hopefully through Dec 17th or so.

H2Otown_WX Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just crunched the numbers here for departures here based off BDL normals (not sure that is the best representation but if I used one of the NOWdata location relatively close to me in Litchfield County this would be even more of a torch ). Had a nice +23.7 departure for today's low, 50.7F (normal 27F) so for the month now I am at +12.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 This type of pattern reminds me of the late 1980s or early 1990s when we had our snow drought. Many youngsters don't know what this is like....but it can happen for years...not just months like they have been spoiled with in recent times.

Many youngsters don't know what this is like....but it can happen for years...not just months like they have been spoiled with in recent times. So this is what it was like growing up for you Will? I'm glad I don't remember the late 90's torches. I was actually just thinking to myself I haven't seen back-to-back horrid winters since I've been following the weather back in 2000-2001. Sure there was 01-02, but that was followed by 02-03. There was 06-07 but 07-08 was still about 70-75% of normal here (more probably since my numbers are low).

Ice Warrior commander Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I remember 1988 - 1989 and 1994 - 1995. I still have the noose marks that show. Thankfully my weather crazed pal cut me down. Those stick out for me as super torches.. Jan. 1995 there was a day when it was in the 60's and the sun was out without much wind. Ridiculous! 55F/55F now at 1:45AM on DEC 7th. At least we lose the mega torch of the last two days with some possible snow chances upcoming as Will said.

ELCwx Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 There was a dandelion blooming in my front yard today. Couldn't even spray it because it was raining. Can't believe I'm talking about killing weeds in Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many youngsters don't know what this is like....but it can happen for years...not just months like they have been spoiled with in recent times. It seemed that ridge was always just off the West Coast during those winters, we never could get it over the Rockies, so alot of the great setups would always go to the west. Even during the big arctic outbreaks in the 1980s it seemed the ridge was always centered a bit too far off the West Coast for a good snow setup in the NE.

Many youngsters don't know what this is like....but it can happen for years...not just months like they have been spoiled with in recent times. Yep, 1936 started with an early season snow...4+" and the total for the winter was 9"..imagine what will happen if we got 10" for the entire winter? 1954 was cold during the summer...snowed early and then not much. 1954 T T 0.0 0.0 T 10.3 0.9 6.5 7.0 0.4 0.0 0.0 25.1 1972 was about 10" 1979 was about 12" We are long overdue for a 10-20" winter in Boston.

#NoPoles Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 well, the winds went to town early this morning...total carnage to my christmas light display...my nativity stable is in pieces...looks like it was hit by a tonado...and the star of bethlehem was blown out of the tree and is stuck like a pitchfork in the ground, light bulb on the inside shattered...and the nativity characters are toppled over, sans joseph and a sheep...
