ScituateMA Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 We had a good run. I have full sun in my yard so its going to melt fast. So grateful we did not have a repeat of the last couple winters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 13 hours ago, bch2014 said: Interesting to see this chart. I am in the agriculture business and we have farms in FL (in the Lakeland area). Per my coworkers (I just joined in late 2025), we've deployed more anti-freeze measures this winter (i.e. running water at night-14 nights so far) than any year since we've owned these assets (late 90's). Yea, been a very cold winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitz Craver Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 It’s going quick, grass halos under every south facing tree. What a run though, was pretty awesome. Zero complaints 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, stand in the middle of a cleared walmart parking lot vs a snow covered open field. Maybe not 20 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 So much beer. today was great being outside with temp at 50 in the sun. -15 up north Monday morning is going to be a slap in my wiener when we get ready for snowmobiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying it wouldn’t be warmer, but there’s a reason we don’t take readings in Wal-Mart parking lots too. Put a sensor in an open field with snow, vs an open field without snow… maybe 5F more? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we’ll agree to disagree based on 925mb and 850mb temps. Maybe low-60s with fully mixed boundary layer at max heating for BDL, I’ll give you that.

Remind me next fall, and I'll get another weather station and park it out in the middle of one of my open fields just to compare it to the one I have near our outbuildings and where we clear.

Be an interesting experiment! Yeah I’m always curious on this stuff, I’m not trying to be combative lol. Just trying to walk my mind through it… which I did amend to I could see like low-60s with full mixing up through 850mb. Like Tolland at 1kft at 54-55F, and BDL 60-62F. I balked at the 70+ but the point is yes, it would be warmer without the snowpack… no argument there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 850s +3C…south flow…2/28 sun I’ll give him 58° and BDL 62° 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's due to air flow, but on a longer timeline. Just an observation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and those fields will be warmest too in summer… vs a neighborhood with dense vegetation and evapotranspiration. Trades dew points for temperature essentially under the foliage canopy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
