Baroclinic Zone Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 -4F. Done with this nonsense. My dog despises this cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanks45 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I took this last night, we ended up with -1.3 here and still 5.7 with clouds rolling in...I know it's fake cold, but still impressive otherwise, I think DXR hit 1 this morning.

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 We dropped to 3.2F. Climbing slowly. 8.7F now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Low of 3F here last night, time for the rain to wash away the snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast Sunday had yesterday's low being considerably lower than this morning's, and maybe that was the case on the sidehills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Coldest I saw in NH this morning was -18F at the Errol COOP. Only hit -1.4F here on the hill, but the Winni River HADS site didn't get any lower than me. Like tamarack said, some clouds put a lid on the radiational cooling and a little WAA aloft didn't help either. The really sheltered valleys around here still managed -5F to -10F though. It's definitely a more "fake" cold though. My chickens aren't too intimidated by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess BOX wasn't the only office not paying attention last night. Most temps were below the forecasted AM low by 9-10PM last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a more "fake" cold though. If we can have "fake" cold, can we also have "fake" snow if it only occurs in elevated areas? I mean, it's a localized event and does not represent the entire atmospheric column as I've been told. So if it's 32° and snow at 1K and 34° and rain at 500', isn't that "fake" snow at 1K? If a valley reading at -10° is "fake" and shouldn't count, we shouldn't be counting elevated snow unless it occurs at all elevations, right?

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Barre Falls Dam claims they got to -7F. They are only about 5 miles away and similar elevation. Even though they are Army Corps of Engineers, sometimes I question their temps and snowfall reports. Over 10 degrees F colder than my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the same town you can have one location in a valley 1kft and another on top of a hill at 1kft. Both could potentially see drastically different conditions on radiational cooling nights. I won't speak for your example as I haven't analyzed the terrain for your CWOP site and the COOP...just throwing it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Not to offend the radiators...but the shallow, calm cold definitely doesn't have the bite of those really low thickness airmasses. Maybe it's better to call them plain old cold and call the wind chill adv airmasses "man cold". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 See some talk about jet extensions across the Pacific...why exactly would that imply or favor across the US...would it increase likelihood for a more zonal type pattern? Is there an importance to this or is just like cool to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something usually feeds the jet and causes it to extend, whether it's blowoff from tropical convection..or just typical rossby wave (or storminess) that causes a fast Pac jet.

Looking at the graphics and such this looks like a pretty impressive extension being modeled, no? Would mountain torque also play a role in where breaks/trough occurs?

Maybe it's better to call them plain old cold and call the wind chill adv airmasses "man cold". True enough, but calm or windy makes only a little difference to the battery in my pickup. (Unless it's really roaring, like 1/18/82 in Ft. Kent, -34 with winds into the 30s - minus 101 on the old WCI - and even with the heater-hose engine warmer running all night, my little Isuzu PU barely started.)
