Damage In Tolland Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 He doesn't give a crap about people like you that wear a dark uniform with polyester pants and a bulletproof vest that makes you sweaty outside on a 75 degree day. He sits in AC all day and it's all about him. Who else on this board wishes for trees to come down during every potential wind event? One crashes through the neighbors house down the block.... Oh well... great storm. You didn't have to hold it, but you did, but you did, but you did..and i thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wish for severe winter cold, but don't care about the homeless that have to survive it. Can't be politically correct in every way while wishing for any type of exciting weather.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Two coastals this week and then more dismay next week on the euro. didn't get that vibe from those charts, my self. ... Tuesday was fantastic, with deep layer light SW through +6 C at 850 (which is a well-mixed direction for us and offers deep adiabats), and so mid 70s, and with RH < 70% in the mean between 700 and 850 mb, and neutral vv ... not sure 86'ing that day is even remotely warranted. that's a classic May day with leafs bursting under blue skies and cargo shorts weather. Also, the next day's diffused warm boundary S of us doesn't have to be a death-sentence on that day - it could also be an interesting overrunning convection signal, but it is not really a cold clammy sort of repeat like this week. the medium is just too warm. the key is getting the temperature's NOT below normal... Brian was right, this was UNseasonably cold this week. Next week has at least one day above normal (technically, verbatim on Tuesday) than "seasonally cool" if not mild and humid on Wednesday. that's hardly 'more dismal' but... hey. too each his own - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friday was iffy too. yeah, no ... i just refer to the freebie synoptic charts over at e-wall,... but sometimes will go to ECMWF head-quarters in the winter when the patterns really are worth any effort at all, and poke around a bit. i've grown accustomed to using those free charts and have an "interpretation landscape" in mind, that is experience-derived, based upon what they've shown compared to what had verified over the years ... so taken fwiw - my 'experience' with that 'sort of look' does not really justify a 'dismal' reality. buuut, dismal may also be subjective. like i said, getting things NOT below average in the sense of UN seasonality is all i'm after. i was advertising the 2nd week of may to at last sans the 'winter in spring' pattern we've been plagued with, and barring the stupid GEFs debacle that seems to be the course so far. not sure tho - even that could end up falling a part and then we slippery slope right back into the nadir if the GEFs have any say in it. man - they just seem ( ) parameterized NOT to be summer (frustration) ...like, on purpose of something. haha. really, it's quite remarkable just how stubbornly how nose-thumbing that particular guidance species is wrt to where we are heading toward mid May vs where are supposed to be heading toward mid Mays. anyway, that aside... the rains you mention on Wednesday; again, i can interpret that as an overrunning convection signal, if that offers any entertainment condolences. by the way, i was off on my days before - i saw 144 hour tuesday and stupidly forgot that means 8 pm Monday night, which means of course that appeal of a decent day was more for Monday afternoon - not tuesday.

West Point, NY Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ehhh we all do it, thats unfair to pin that on anyone. You probably wish for snowstorms but someone's family is in ruins because they got in a fatal car accident on the Northway.

We all joke with DIT but we are in the same family of weather enthusiasts. I get you that any weather event including hydroplaining in the rain can cause individual tragedy. But months of excessive HHH cause widespread suffering to people who are forced to work outdoors everyday and poor people who live in city Apartments with a fan and no cross ventilation. Whereas a snowstorm is cleared up after a day and people have the choice of staying off the road during it. As far as severe is concerned, you can want the winds while not openly hoping for trees to come down which will cause lots of property damage and possibly injury.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 well ... there seems to be a bit of HHH focus going on in here suddenly ... for whatever reason that came about aside, you can rest assured, there is/are no triple H looks to anything ..or even hinted in subtle modalities, at this time. believe me, i'm the go-to guy for sniffing out heat waves. i'll let you know ... hahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I hear you. I mean the next 1-2 weeks seems to feature a bit of a dropping PNA and ridging over the SE which naturally tries to promote warmth. At the same time, a pesky SE Canadian trough.

Maybe we are battle zone with alternating warm/cool? right ... but i gotta think... before June 1 ... any oscillating is going to butt bang warm weather. it's just the nature of the eastern half of New England beast. no sense in redrawing up all the known reasons why there. it's just that if you drew a mean boundar due east from chicago-detroit-buffalo-albany, the east end of that absolutely will kink and elbow south to NYC as a default position...without exception. so whatever happens, it's compensating either way for that mean climate position. come july, that eastern end kink/elbow finally become more straightened out. it's a fun way of saying that it more than just seems to take THAT much more to get us warm sectored around here. so in any oscillatory deal... inot optimal. having said that, i'd take even 'failed' oscillation over this... come on, 44 F mist? ooo kay. ha, may sound pathetic, but at least in failed oscillation, there was a chance at all! this here? this is like being in that pit in Silence of The Lambs - ' it puts the lotion on or it gets the hose' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super soaker shaping up on radar to the Sw about to ruin the rest of the day dude - we've been opining and commiserating day after day, about year after year after years in the past, where it did exactly this, and specifically using that as a partial guide, why this would also suck beyond the pucker-phuck dreams of a lemon rind its a good thing no one "imagined" this could happen you just need to admit along with the rest of us that this part of the world is a god-foresaken wasteland in april and ...probably most Mays in general, and stop this yearly assault of lies and rationalizations about the patterns you try to unsuccessfully sell ...year after year after year.
