Same deal here. Lots of trapped haze just north of CON on my way home yesterday. It cleared up as I got home, but the smoke made it my way before I cooped the birds up in the evening.
A light breeze and mixed skies are keeping the temp up in the upper 20s. Hopefully we don't have the bottom fall out again overnight or at least mi casa is above the inversion. MET/MAV for CON are 10F and 11F for CON tomorrow morning, but ECM MOS is much warmer at 21F. It'll be interesting to see which side is closer. 27F there are of 00z.
Actually warmer here (41F) than CON (38F) this afternoon...rare, especially for this time of year. Very little mixing under the high today...just enough for here, but not enough in time for the rad pits.
It's been a pretty good winter for my bamboo.
We're basically at the climo coldest point right now so there's still plenty of winter to go. Looks bleak down there into Feb though.
Only 2.0F on the hill. -3F at CON. Maybe we can run the table on the winter above 0F now. We should clear January based on guidance. Still a long way to go to get through Feb though.
No thanks.
It's been relatively tame up there for your standards too. EC MOS is popping a -15F tonight for BML so you'll have some snotcicles in the morning.
Up to 6.8/-7
I've been out all day taking the day by the horns. Pulled the gym equipment out onto the ice laden driveway and did some benching and squats. Then I sparked up the fire pit and grilled some steaks and burgers on it paleolithic style. Then we played some ultimate frisbee in the 7" pack. It stings at first barefoot, but eventually you become numb to it. Great morning and I feel alive.
And the rocks were the solution at CON...not the problem. They originally had dark mulch down around the ASOS. The compromise was white rocks. They’re so worried about a couple tenths warming per decade, but no one wants to grow grass and maintain it at a proper height. lol
