Just enjoy this weather like your lawn is.My lawn liked the wet humid wx better . This wx really dries things out quickly. Hopefully the rain tomorrow night comes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think those little towns offer the perfect retirement spot in a few years. I'd work on my own but it could easily be doable. My wife and felt good there and I'd probably pick up a 50% snow dividend over and above mby now. If you were above 1500 ft i would say they ave at least 80 inches. What town were you in.

Ginx snewx Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Weeklies are fairly cool. Sure we'll see some more warm/humid days, but the best/worst (depending on perspective) is done. Welcome finally to the bright side of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Euro ensembles essentially stick a fork in summer...pretty remarkable turnaround in the long range over the past 4-5 days. They tried fighting the WAR back west earlier, but now its just huge ridge over the west with a pretty established longwave trough over the east and no real Atlantic ridge. We might have to wait ntil late August for another taste of heat...the clock is ticking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm assuming you are talking about the Catskills, if not ignore me. If you want real snow get out of town up to 2000' or at least 1500. There are numerous days where the valleys are rain and it's snowing in the hills / mountains especially early and late season. And I'm not sure where in the Cat's you were but the northern areas hold the snow better than the southern area, but some don't like that. I wonder if the northern catskills are somewhat of a snow lovers "secret spot" as they dont get much attention. Any coops out there at high elevation or i. E what do they ave at 2k there and are there spots w decent lake effect exposure, i'd think western adirondacks aoa 2k could really cash in on snows but maybe im wrong. I.e id like to learn more about n catskills and adirondacks snowfall climo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any coops out there at high elevation or i. E what do they ave at 2k there and are there spots w decent lake effect exposure I'm not sure about coops, but here is an albany snow map. In reality the snowfall gradient is much more elevation dependent than shown here but it gives an idea. The northern areas can get some decent lake effect, but really nothing great. I've gotten up to a foot (once), but big accums are rare. A couple inches is very common in the right pattern, and a lot of people would get sick of shoveling it every morning but I love it.

We might have to wait ntil late August for another taste of heat...the clock is ticking though. August 1st is like March 1st.

We might have to wait ntil late August for another taste of heat...the clock is ticking though. Odds are lowering fast, but the most recent heat wave recorded at Farmington COOP (In fact, the only one in the past 10 years) was Aug 31-Sep 3, 2010. Ended with the wet remains of "Earl". Edit: In 120 yr records, Farmington has recorded 91 heat waves, 27 of them in Aug-Sep. However, in the 53 yr 1960-on, only 6 heat waves for Aug-Sep. (Only 18 in total for those years, so the late summer share has remained steady, but the overall occurrence of heat waves has dropped way down. I believe some of that is due to the earlier observations being taken in a different and warmer part of town, but I have no info on siting history.)

CT Rain Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 If we can generate about 1000 j/kg of sb CAPE tomorrow there is a low end tornado threat. Hodographs look decent and LCLs are quite low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We in N CT just lived thru the hottest month in our states history. It's a month I will personally always remember with fondness . We certainly have changed the pattern now, no doubt about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Think showers overspread the state mid/late afternoon. Almost looks like NJ/NYC have that look for some sort of spinner possible...right along and ahead of the weak low developing. Maybe CT is it comes in faster.

Farmington also had one Sep 8-10, 2002, but that was with modest dews, while the 2010 spell was all swamp. (And those represent all the September heat wave action since 1960.)
