ski MRG Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 this winter has taken a toll on a lot of people. hurricanejosh was frothing with delight over extreme cold and now powderfreak is all amped up over extreme warmth. if BayBreeze-Rich mumbles anything about it being too hot this summer, I'll start taking all the 2012 doomsday stuff a lot more seriously. Say hi to all my friends over a DBM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzucker Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Ll hitting the whiskey early? My house is fricking cold, time to turn the Tstat back up. I've noticed the temperature rising here...it was 39F when I left school and now I see AFN is up to 43F. Felt distinctly warmer going to the supermarket to buy beers, and the fog has increased.

snowman21 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 This is just disgusting... I wonder what the greatest daily departures New England has ever recorded at their climo stations? Not necessarily a complete list, but gives you a good sampling of the kind of departures we experience in New England. The second hi/lo is the normal for the date. The usual disclaimers about erroneous data applies, though I threw out the obvious bad data points.

snowman21 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Snowman21, well done! How did you pull that together? It comes from a climate database that has all the stations, averages, normals, etc. in one place, so that makes it fairly easy to create those nicely formatted summary tables.

powderfreak Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 The Euro is indicating more good times ahead. I pray for the prancing dandies, oh how I pray. So our long-time ski patrol director was telling me he remembers a similar situation back in 1979-80 where we ran out of snow in mid-March... closed for the end of March (that's the only year this place has run out of snow in March)...then got 2-3 feet of snow in early April and opened back up again for skiing around Easter. Maybe..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Euro continues the warmth here from Sunday through Friday before we get cutoff gone wild at the end of the run. It still looks like a muted torch for the S Coast through the northern Mid Atlantic. The position of the high gives us a little more of a westerly component to the flow compared to 12z so it gets a little warmer for CNE/SNE. The ens are warm and have a storm to end the party, but it looks more favorable for Vim Toot land if if was to give anyone snow at all. The more important thing is the heat comes to a crashing end and we keep the ridge axis just to our west d10-15. It looks fairly confluent over our region, but hopefully we can squeeze something through there. The AK vortex remain fairly strong too, but with the wavelengths beginning to shorten it may not matter as much for snow chances. We'll see. We have a week of near record highs up here to get through first so most of the extended talk is just brainstorming at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Today begins one of the most incredible wx weeks of all of our lives. The great MORCH TORCH of 2012. 70's and 80's for days and days begins tomorrow and we kick it off with a nice sunny Saturday with highs in the 60's. Break out those tube tops, hammocks and sandals today. Possibly even put the a/c units in the windows if you choose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was commenting to my wife how sucky it was growing up in New London in the spring. The news would talk about how warm a day it was and have clips of people in Hartford out in shorts, etc. Then you've got me, some snot-nosed teenager thinking 'what the hell' as I sat in the 50's. Had the same experience living in Maine. We'd head up to our land in Bethel and have 74* and then come back to 54* in Bath. The coast has many upsides which I enjoyed growing up. But, boy it's downsides are numerous! I guess I'll get out of the 30's today and won't be seeing them for a few days at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Northern NE is going to absolutely torch while we battle morning low clouds, onshore wind, etc. The snow is going to liquify up north at the ski areas while we get above normal but far short of records I think.
