Typhoon Tip Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Funny... the Euro stalls the 2-m temp 55-59 across the area on Sunday and ... that just does not fit a-priori or existential awareness of what that does at this time of year. It should be mid 60s minimum - and 70 would be nicked over back patios and driveways. I'm willing to nod to lack of mixing being close to the centroid region of the high pressure bubble... and that might not realize the BL being that tall, but even the 925 mb adiabat is 64.. 65 at HFD that afternoon. I think it stops adiabat at 900 mb or something and doesn't render it to the 'real' surface? but then why would that call that the '2-m' ? I dunno - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing really magical other than to say, 'shortest day of the year' - doesn't mean much else. Calendars? Human invention. Here is some 64 years of human invention, my climate is as follows: Winter usually kicks in Dec 10th or so usually until March 17th or so. Spring is sprung until June 15th or so, then summer weather until September 15th or so. Fall runs until winter begins. Thats my constructed climate. What my mind wants, what the sun feels like does not change what Mother nature brings. Can we have a couple of non seasonal days at anytime, for sure, but averaging it out through my life thats what it is. Would I like to mentally change things, sure, but as the saying goes you can't fool mother nature.

Particularly in a sensy motif brought about by a last season mercy snow event that busted - it was like not an exit hurrah at all. It was like the scene in "Airplane," ...where Leslie Neilson's character was trying to cinema-trope slap the hysterical female passenger into calming down, and when asked to step away ... he hesitates, and steps back in to get that one extra slap in - Love that ... hi - larious ... continuing the metaphor, as Leslie fades out the camera then pans down a line of people waiting to take turns on her, boxing gloves, ... baseball bat, even a crescent wrench, samurai sword and guns - that's summer for many. But, this winter is Leslie Neilson, and the hysterics of winter ending with this way is the extra slap being received. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow to 90-95F in like a week. And it stayed like an absolute torch up in NNE in June too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 skied Cannon essentially top to bottom the morning of May 20, if I recall correctly that was the beginning of the real warm up. Snow was gone from the lower slopes within days. What was funny was how long snow held on in Tuckerman Ravine last summer even with that June heat.

mreaves Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 2 hours ago, HIPPYVALLEY said: I understand what @Typhoon Tip is saying though. My winter mindset is really Nov 15 to February 15 and summer from May 15 to Aug 15 and then I'm emotionally transitioning to the next season no matter what the models are spitting out. Yes it snows in March and yes there are September beach days but I'm already shifting gears mentally knowing the end is near. That’s a good explanation. By this time, I’m getting antsy for golf. I’ll do winter stuff as long as conditions permit but I start mentally turning the page about March 15th or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most years we've already at least flirted with 90F by then and had at least one torch stretch.

It actually looks like a locked pattern with multiples going that way. It may not be people’s interest area around here but I’m wondering what that might mean for our convection season as we get closer to May. I think the south east ridge is going to make a presence more often than not this spring is where I’m going with that - I’m inclined to watch around April 1 for a cut off, too.

powderfreak Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 11F with a wind chill of -10F as I walked into the office at 5am. Going to pass on this weather right now. 5F with 40-50mph winds up at the picnic tables, ha.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 It was a 20 day winter in Feb here (great stretch) plus the Dec event. I had it at B- heading into March but I will downgrade to a C+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
