ORH_wxman Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Looks like 7F at ORH this morning. Crushes the old daily record of 11F in 1987. Monthly record is 3F so not really close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Can we not talk politics, it is too polarizing. I don't come on here to talk politics. Anyways, the winds turn northerly after 4 pm 21z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it a lot harder for ORH to set record lows but a bit easier for record low maxes. Though I dont think today will matter on the low max...even the old site would probably easily beat it since the record low max for the month at the old site was 22F in 1938.

ORH_wxman Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 We're pretty strict about keeping politics out of this forum...and in all honesty, political figures of all stripes have a pretty terrible track record on understanding the topic of weather and climate change...some are clearly worse than others, but that's no reason to lower our standards.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Winds will turn northerly this late afternoon into the evening and morning hours of Friday morning from HYA eastward to Provincetown with the greatest threat area from Harwich to Orleans where they should see the heaviest snows this time around. Stay tuned, the next update could show higher snowfall totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Everything looks mostly offshore like the NAM right now. Euro had very light QPF at this point and there’s only been a few flakes at PVC and CQX. Winds are at 300° at both sites right now and that isn’t gonna cut it. You’ll lose some of the westerly component, but not enough for anything major I’m afraid. Hopefully you get some accums though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must be the cold shot that gave MWN their previous record. Next coldest was -16.9°C on 11/22/1987...so the same date as today. Old CAR record was -23.7°C on 11/14/1986. They pulled a -24.5°C this morning. So new monthly records at all 3 RAOB sites this morning. Its so interesting we have set a lot of record cold days aloft and at the surface since 2015. The extremes ftw year round. Love the new climate myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of sinking air too as the winds try and turn more northerly due to the high pressure approaching so that is going to hurt chances too.

Sitting at the computer, looks like a gorgeous day - bright blue sky, nearly a foot of snow with nice white blobs on the fir and hemlock branches. Of course, when I went outside to check the max-min and bring in wood, the cold made me glad I'd wussed out on going hunting. Doubt I'd make 30 minutes on stand, and it's usually been longer than that when deer have appeared. He might not express it well but I am sure you of all people know how badly the forests are managed especially out west. Environmental groups stopping prescribed burns, no thinning of the forests etc etc.. Man occupies places which burned out every decade or so, you have to manage the risk. Look at the Camp fire, 90% of trees were basically unaffected it was the human structures which burned. I am not going get into politics but these sound bites aren't the real story. We need to balance this all out if we want to live in the forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One story of how 3 firefighters stayed with a family covered in burn protection blankets while tornadic fire activity rolled over them is insane. They emerged unharmed to see turned over cars and destroyed buildings everywhere. Talk about unselfish acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Got down to 9 and now 14. I think many on both sides acknowledged that regarding forest management potus was not incorrect but the timing while looking for bodies was in poor taste and insensitive. My kids and many friends in the SF Bay Area have had terrible air until it rained yesterday. Now the aftermath of the fires-mudslides and erosion.

At one time , my sister, brother, nephew were either evacuated or on alert for evacuation. Thankfully they were unaffected after all, but they and the kids have had to deal with smoke on and off for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
