Damage In Tolland Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yeah, you could say that. I'm in a flat area on the side of hill in the center of town that tops out at 850' but we're surrounded by hills further out over 1000'. The center of town is around 450' so it's a bit of a bowl. Here's a map giving an overview of the terrain: https://maps.google.com/?ll=41.95215,-72.302828&spn=0.036193,0.055189&t=p&z=14 This is an older map but gives better detail: http://broermapsonline.org/online/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/NewEngland/Connecticut/USGS03/staffordspringsctn1-316801952.html lol, yeah, we're directly opposite each other. You're on the hill to my south and I'm on the hill to your north. I see where you live (generally) when I'm coming down my hill. Its all about the hills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2002 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Soxdude is right between my hill 1000 feet and Bald Hill which is 1100 feet I'm northeast of both your hill and Bald Hill... my street is off Old Stafford Rd a few miles down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I heard they are making The Hills Have Eyes 3, and it's set in Tolland. It's about people living in the Tolland hills who mutated because of longterm exposure to LESCO. I can see EWB hitting 33 or 34 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Looks like my high was 55° which is only 5° above the previous low max which occurred during that rain storm that eventually mixed with IP here so it was pretty good CAA day, I think. Let's see where we wind up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In October we'd love this but not in almost summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWCCraig Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 With a low of 43 tonight, KNYC will only be 3 degrees shy of a 135 year old record. Doubt we'll break it with the UHI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well you also have the hill heading up Plains Rd. so maybe you're in a little China bowl there Plains Rd from 32 has to one of the steepest roads around. I still say the best bowl in the area is Bigelow Hollow. I'd love to see the DEP put up a station there but there's lots of good places. The Stafford Springs treatment plant used to be the COOP for Stafford and you can compare their temps with other stations and they always did well.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Check out how brutal April and May have been there... http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/fairbanks-ak/99701/april-weather/346836?monyr=4/1/2013 I know, I've been following along with the climate there for this spring. Currently it's 25.8F in Fairbanks with brilliant sunshine and what must be a very strong sun angle now that the days have around 19 hours of sunlight. Check out this webcam from the Fairbanks Climate Data Centre: http://climate.gi.alaska.edu/ The temperature is actually falling very slowly right now, even though it's 1pm local time. Accuweather says that they have not been above 50F since October 4th, 2012. That's amazing when you consider that next october is only 4 1/2 months away. They will probably have an amazingly short summer season this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Really? I was outside from 0800-200 with a long sleeve shirt and was warm. Perfect working conditions. I was out from 11am -2 pm and it was chilly, especially when the clouds started rolling in and the sun dissapeared. My neighbor is out right now cutting his grass with a jacket on as it's currently 48F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I haven't seen snow here in May since 2005 when we had some graupel/mangled flakes in one of those cold pool aloft type airmasses not too dissimilar to today. Its not all that common anyway...esp east of the Berks. You mean west of the Berks? I feel like it happens more over upstate NY than in the Greens up this way. The Adirondacks and hills east of the lakes seem to get some May snow every few years....those cold pools seem to rot further west this time of year.

CapturedNature Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Is your station on Wunderground? I have one - online: http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KCTSTAFF4 FWIW it runs warm at night and spikes during the day. I bought a cheap station Ambient Weather station to be able to upload data so I could get an idea of what was happening while I was away. I'd like to get something that would fit in my Stevenson screen but it's not goo to crowd the shelter to allow for airflow so I guess this is good enough for now.

I think you misread what i said..."its not all that common...esp east of the Berks"...meaning its less common east of the Berks. Those airmasses moderate much quicker in May ad its hard to get snow east of the Catskills and Berks as those airmasses quickly moderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
