NEFE?

No shielding = we toss. But like I said I’m sure it’s a little cooler than his site. It’s just not 8-10° like he regularly claims.

March 8 we do the clocks. That extra hour of sunshine everyday will wipe out the snow in no time.

We need you to drive by the christmas trees on a strong rad morning with the car thermo for science. I’m sure that pit is cooler than his coop site, but he’s probably overplaying it by a good 5F.

Yeah we’ll see…looks pretty cold even if it moderates a bit. Too bad we have a bush league high Saturday morning because models are bringing afternoon temps down near 0°.

28.5° for a high. The streak continues.

This was the post that did it for me. He has an unshielded max/min thermometer just sitting out in the middle of the tree farm. I mean of course it’s going to lose more heat at night.

Dews were near 0F

Sub freezing streaks are on the line the next couple of days

Up to 27.3F here. 45F in the enclosed run. Chooks are happy.

Sure

Yeah a week averaging -15 isn’t going to get us much snow. Even the biggie required a massive WAA push aloft despite the cold low levels. I’ve had enough with sub 500 thicknesses after this weekend.

The arctic is warming faster than the mid latitudes/equator so in theory that weakens the thermal gradient in the NHEM and hence a weaker thermal wind. That’s what tends to happen in the warm season. The higher latitudes make a larger temperature recovery from winter and winds weaken and wavelengths shorten.

Sounds like he’ll be working on his fantasy baseball draft the next 7 days.

VDay 2016 hit -9 as well. Time an anomaly like that 3 weeks earlier and you’re probably pushing -12ish. But the setup is similar to the A tier ones we’ve recently had…arctic cold centered more in the lower levels and delivered more from the N than the WNW. We just need them a little more potent when delivered. The urban centers have heat island effects too so that’s another hurdle to overcomes.
