wxeyeNH Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Wow, what a beautiful day. The foliage this year is amazing in the Whites. If you any of you can get up there tomorrow, this is the day. Monday's fropa will take down many leaves but what a year this is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only slight qualm might be it was breezy at times but that’s really nitpicking. I do think the foliage took a little hit yesterday but it is still gorgeous. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the foliage took a little hit yesterday but it is still gorgeous. There’s something about fall golf that does it for me. The course is usually in the best shape of the season, and the leaves are great when still on the trees, ha. Hitting a ball into leaves, no bueno. Im playing a charity event at the Stowe Mountain Course on Tuesday, can’t wait. It’s the one time of year I get out on that track. Probably going to be frigid with those 850s.

The radars are in precip mode instead of clear air The temp inversions develop at sunset from radiational cooling and the beam gets refracted back to the surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, that makes sense. So the beam isn’t really hitting anything per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's part of the issue overall w/ you. Beggars can't be choosers. Now, I guess we can say for @CoastalWx "if it is not a Miller B, who cares...MEH!" And what about the ones that don't "fit?" Dec 9, 2005 for instance, Or the early March 2013 "surprise" event? How about the 100 hr snowstorm late Feb 1969? Oh, wait, "the BOS 26" fell over 100 hr. It was all S- w/ sucky dendritic growth w/ an avg snowfall rate only 1/4"/hr -- WORST EVA!" Meanwhile, in @dendrite country, 50"+ falls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re just saying Miller Bs are typically more generous for this region. Be more specific. Let me put it this way, if NNE gets a foot plus and @dendrite is walking in "white gold," and Weymouth is all rain, you are just as mad as if no storm occurred at all!

It can hit anything. There’s some filtering algorithms. On social media tonight there’s some vids from Cedar Point in OH where there’s huge swarms of insects coming off of Lake Erie. Here’s an example of the beam being ducted back to the surface and picking up traffic on I40 east of KLIT https://www.kark.com/weather/weather-headlines/ast-blog-radar-beams-towards-i-40/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
