ChrisM Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Norfolk and Hartland do blow the rest of NW CT out of the water, I can be in Hartland in about 10 to 15 mins and it is a whole different world up there iin the winter, very much like West Chesterfield I wouldn't really say they blow the rest of NW CT out of the water that might be an exaggeration. maybe Canton lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much them and Norfolk.

Johnno Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Blown out of water might be extreme lol but head to up Hartland during 2011 it was impressive even compared to your part of Torrington/ Harwinton probably has a lot to do with retention too. The only other area I saw that year with as much was the Washington/Southern Warren area,, they cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Where did those downpours come from entering W CT? 40's fail tonight? The water vapor looks pretty dry so perhaps when the SW comes through it will drop temps a few more degrees? Like HubbDave said, we're off to a good start. Down to 60° here but I see its in the mid 50s in the hills above me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Tim Kelley on NECN thought that some of the colder spots in NNE might get a touch of frost Tues AM...does he know the magic of GC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Bigelow Hollow is a good place for snow/ice retention. This winter Bigelow Pond was the only place that I was able to walk out on the ice in safety. The snowmobile trails will sometimes have packed snow on them into April. Yeah, that is a good spot. The high percentage of evergreens really helps. A lot of people wouldn't think that snowmobiling is as big as it is in that corner of the state. It's also one of places that I do a "last check" on snow in the spring. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last January the pond had 6-8" of ice while Coventry lake had maybe 2-3" of somewhat questionable ice depth. In February of 2011 Mashpaug Pond had 18-24" of ice. I dont go ice fishing or snowmobiling, I just like to explore the frozen lakes and enjoy the peace and quiet that one can find up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a deep valley. I've often thought about putting a data logger down there and seeing what the temps run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often thought about putting a data logger down there and seeing what the temps run. My car thermometer usually falls by about 3F or so between leaving I-84 and driving into the hollow.

CapturedNature Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Holding in the low-70s. Wonder if we can break below 60. lol...47° up at SLK. Mid 50s in some spots in NE CT. My car thermometer usually falls by about 3F or so between leaving I-84 and driving into the hollow. Boston Hollow is another cold spot in Eastern Connecticut The house at the northern end of it is probably the last spot too to loose it's snow! That is a unique geological feature. I often drive north from there into the Yale Forest. You'd never know you in CT, let alone SNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 54.0F at the house What a range of temps in New England this evening! http://www.wrh.noaa....88037&density=1 Some spots in Fairfield County, CT are neat 70° while other parts of the state are in the low 50s and in NNE it's in the 40s! Over in NNY, SLK is 43°...I think they'll be up for some frost but that's nothing unusual for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 48/66 split here today. 53 now. Lake effect clouds have slowed our fall. Low of 65 (so far) high of 77 +2 on the day at BDR, will probably end up dead nuts average by midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looks like 51° here is going to be the low. It was 48° higher up in Union. Too bad the clouds rolled in across some northern areas...SLK is 49° after a midnight low of 42°. Let's see if we can keep temps down today and see how low we can go tonight.
