I can guarantee that you will radiate well. During the winter compare your temps with LWM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also make the frigid airmass on Tday a lot more aesthetically tolerable with some fresh snow OTG. The fresh cover from tomorrow will only accentuate the feel.

Discussing 100ft gradients is on another level. Heck the house across the street is like 100ft higher than mine at 750ft vs 850ft. But here anything under 1,200ft is the valley. I keep trying to think about how much different the winter weather is on the scales discussed in the Methuen convo, and it must be that much more acute near the ocean. I honestly don't think my neighbor 100ft higher and 100 yards away on Birch Hill Rd gets any more snowfall than my house. Generally need to see at least 500ft of elevation difference to really see a visible change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Topography is always an issue with the weenie when trying to maximize snowfall. Most of the general public doesn't pay attention to the fine details like we do. 100ft makes a small difference in this area, but not anything most would catch without the trained eye. The more noticeable differences tend to occur around here when you hit the escarpment zones that climb at least 500 ft on either side of the valley.

Shocking I don’t have children Now you've got me curious. I'm walking the dog looking at the very small hills around and I'm like, the top of that hill is like 1,000ft instead of 750ft. There probably is some event in history where that mattered. I've never really seen it but I'm sure there was one. Or like the church steeple in town gets up to like 900ft elevation. I wonder how different snowfall is at the top of the steeple to the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more noticeable differences tend to occur around here when you hit the escarpment zones that climb at least 500 ft on either side of the valley. I've always thought elevation differences are more pronounced in SNE than NNE in the grand scheme of things. Almost like you notice how much it matters a lot more when the overal topography change isn't that big. Like you notice it more when the local topography change is a larger percentage of the overall elevation changes. 400ft changes in the mountains doesn't seem to do much but I remember growing up I might've drowned kittens of it gave me 400ft more elevation, lol. So I get what Pickles is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
