Nice. 0.38" here. Wasn't expecting that much.

And to think I was coming in to gloat about the .26" I got last night.

 

[dendrite]

1.05" and counting

It rains where it wants to rain. The drought continues at home. 

[Spanks45]

A little early for this? At least it doesn't say Hurricane conditions possible....

Friggin light bulb was loose on my precip detection sensor.

Playing a little golf around Wachusett today. It's really my first time in the Route 2 area. There be dragons here is right.

You playing at Wachusett CC in West Boylston or actually up near the mountain (think there's a course in Westminster pretty close)?

 

Fun terrain to play in.

Pretty sure that's the one.

Wachusett CC is actually prob like 10 miles SE of the mountain. But it's a fun course. It was our home course when playing on my high school golf team. There's some decent terrain and elevated tees on a few holes.

 

Better score well on 10 (easy par 5) because 11 is the worst hole of all time...nasty par 4 with an awful green (it's always hard and it slopes) and it's long uphill dog leg left. I think I've probably made par on that hole once in about 100 rounds. The front 9 is def easier than the back...in fact, there's prob no good excuse not to be only a couple over par (or better) after 4 or 5 holes even if you are a bogey golfer.

Low of 58F this morning felt very mild.

In the past 6 weeks only August 4th and August 19th had a higher min with 59F.

Well 2 over after 4 because of an ugly double on 3.

It's a pretty course though.

Oh man...you doubled the short par 4 up the hill. That oen can be tricky if you mess the drive up or have a putting disaster on the multi-tiered green. Better make hay on the next 3 holes because 8 and 9 are not that easy (longish) and then you get the tougher back 9 after an easy 10th hole.

Disaster. Snapped one off the tee on 6 and tripled it. Just about to hit the tough 11th. 

I need Hubb Dave's microbrews.

[Typhoon Tip]

Love that!

just has a pixel shower that was really heavy...  Trees started swaying like literally just over my immediate section of town and there was open sky with cu fragments and blue regions visible in all directions while it happened...  

That sort of micro-convective display is fascinating.  With those wind gusts, ...like a weak tiny wet microburst... 

[powderfreak]

Snow at Red Lodge, MT this morning.

Saw a bunch of western resorts saw snow, Alta, Crested Butte, Telluride, etc.

 

[Typhoon Tip]

I mean even over in eastern MT ...snow can't be too far off the deck with that rad presentation... That "looks" S+ there - ... at 45 F ...still -

[OceanStWx]

Yeah, a good friend was reporting snow falling in town Helena.

If you're computing the specific energy change (J/KG) for the heating of dry air at a constant volume from 0C to 10C would I use one of the forms of the 1st law of thermodynamics?  I'm a little confused in how to start this.  I was thinking of using w = integral from a 1 to a 2 of p da (a = alpha) or maybe something involving dh/dT since I can equal that to cv and my final equation would be du = cvdT?  my dT would be 10C but not sure what I would use as a number for "constant volume

Just found something...the specific heat for dry air at SLP is 1000 J/KG.  so would I just do du = (1000 J/KG) (10C)?  That seems way too easy for this type of problem

Pretty big trough setting up next week for the mountain west....gonna be a lot of snow reports I'd think. Prob some pretty big totals in the northern rockies in spots. Yellowstone area looks like a good spot.
