Yeah even from Southbridge/Sturbridge to Woodstock… elevation is only like 250ft to 750ft (but urban to cornfields/forests) and it’ll go from 90F to 83F. Lebanon Hill Road drops like a degree every quarter mile, ha.

I feel like SNE has some of the most drastic low level lapse rates between like 200ft and 1,000ft elevations. We get it in NNE a bit but not like down there. It has to be going from like peak urban heat islands to forests and fields, mixed with the elevation changes.

Ha, raises hand. I feel like those are pretty universal though on electronic displays… sun or flame and snowflake.

To be honest, if I had to put window units in, I’m probably letting this stretch ride with 60s/40s back in the forecast right after. I think having every window blocked up for the foreseeable future every day its in the 60s might annoy me more than a couple nights without A/C. But I have a deep disdain for window units. Now just flip the remote to the snowflake icon for a couple days.

That was a mild night. 57F currently but it was 67F at 2am. Not humid (dews near 50F), just clouds and breeze didn’t allow any radiation at all.

73/40 Max of 75F so far. Bottle this up.

You guys have been in the radar firehose all day. Pivot point. Here it’s been 1.00-1.50”… the Worcester Range and SE has been 1.50”+.

I’ll let you two speak for each other, ha. I just didn’t see any real difference between those two images so you guys are showing about the same thing IMO.

Aren’t those both showing similar things? Admittedly don’t know climo as well, but is BDL like mid-70s around then? So goes from like almost +20 to -5 or so for highs between Tuesday/Wednesday and the weekend?

0.74”, with 0.30”/hr steady rain has finally moved in.

43F and rain here in town… 40F at 1500ft. 32F at 3600ft. Brutal.

As an online group, weather enthusiasts try to cauterize the shoulder seasons more and more each year. It’s either viewed under a lens where it’s supposed to be really nice and warm outside, or winter.

Had a window open here but no fan, ha. Nice crisp A/C like feeling.

Had light snow and graupel again today at 1,500ft. Dew points in the low to mid-20s have been quite effective at evaporationally cooling the cores of the showers.

Yeah I know I’ve seen like 3-6” overnight without the ASOS going below 2sm -SN in deep snow growth layer orographic snows. Big arms of dendrites hooking together. Honestly the late January storm yielded like 10” overnight of mid-level fluff at like 1.5”/hr in 3/4sm visibility. Meanwhile the flip side is you get the SWFE poor snow growth needles in a 6-hr QPF dump and struggling to 1.2”/hr snowfall but at M1/4, ha.
