ORH_wxman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Oh I believe that your instrumentation said 35.7F and that it works fine. I just think your digital thermometer might be in a bad spot to see actual daytime temperatures. We've already been over that realization years ago. It's not something Kevin is fond of discussing, so we rarely bring it up these days. I just believe the readings are biased a touch cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the over/under on when the dew point discussion begins? I say May 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 What's the over/under on when the dew point discussion begins? I say May 3rd. Under...April 25th when we have our first 'bout of 80s in the interior. I'm feeling an early heat spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the snow, have a few warm days, and his pendulum will swing towards the tarmac at bdl with temps and dews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 That's when he'll be happy to claim he downslopes off ORH hills with NE winds, but right now, they upslope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With such an epic snow pack melting into epic soil moisture content we'll be looking at 80F dew points "where people live and work" through August.

SR Airglow Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 lol 13 of those are at or below 6" and 7 are above 6". Not a perfect forecast but it wasn't something I'm going to beat myself up over. We were more bullish than any other outlets or NWS for metro New Haven and we did well there. Compared to what the others had, you and I did well(We had the same forecast except I had a little stripe of 4-8" far NW). Should northern Tolland/Windham have been 4-8, probably, but I don't think the public cares that much if they got 7" off a 3-6" forecast. 7" off of 1-2/1-3(which is what quite a few others had for southern areas) is a much bigger differential I think and I'm glad I didn't fall prey to that.

SR Airglow Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 don't think anyone besides us cares if they got 3 or 7 If we had a 2-4 forecast and verification was 7, I'd be hearing it in the comments about how we busted, especially when there's a commute involved.

CoastalWx Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Ironically, the back end did way better further down in SE MA this morning. Didn't expect that either...although last night, the HRRR was pimping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 back down at freezing. Im estimating eyeball I lost 2.5 in the back yard. It probably wasn't all lost, more like compacted. Compaction is not a bad thing. A denser snowpack is more resistant to solar insolation. Actually, I should say...requires more energy to melt.

Brief 7 or so hour mini-torch, and with last night brief bit of rain added to the pack we can solidify that sucker through the beginning of March.
