    Some of those AWOSs I find a little suspect sometimes, but my first day on shift at DVN the ASOS was 84/80 when I went up to launch the balloon. So much moisture in the air that it condenses right on you when you leave the office AC.

    Was your hill there a really sunny section too? Mine is the south facing lawn that is stressed to begin with.

    I was going to try and go the natural route with the kids playing in the yard, but based on what I saw I think I might nuke it.

    My grub problem is pretty bad. I knew I must've had it bad because of the die off last summer, but hoo boy it's a massacre below ground. I had a patio paver walkway put in to the front door last fall and planned to level and replant the grass this spring. As I level it's at least a dozen grubs per square foot.

    Yeah I'm getting close to transplanting my lettuce/kale, carrot, onion, and cauliflower. Started peppers and tomatoes inside a couple days ago, give them 4-5 weeks to get going before they move outdoors too.

    @ORH_wxman having flashbacks of ITH porches in full ski gear bouncing ping pong balls across a table with cups filled with Blue Light.

    June 2025?

    Looks like at least FWD and LZK.

    Even the 60% and hatched for wind makes it really tough. And tornadoes, forget about it. That's 15 years worth of 30% tornado probabilities. The only way one of those contours gets introduced in New England will be if SPC gets hyperlocal on their outlooks.

    You're both right? 75th percentile forecast for BDL is 78, 90th 81. So somewhere around 1 in 4 or 1 in 10 you expect temps could be warmer. But there is way more bust potential on the low side than on the high side of consensus (73). 10th percentile is 58 thanks to the backdoor potential.

    Hey @Ginx snewx, that's a halfway decent mini supercell just north of you.

    52 dBZ to 12,000 ft down in CT. Has to be something frozen falling out of that. Where's Wiz??

    Just running back my (very) short period of record at the new house and my top months for snowfall have been Dec 2020 (25.5"), Dec 2019 (25.3"), Jan 2019 (21.0"), Jan 2022 (18.5"), and Nov 2018 (15.9"). Making November a winter month again.

    43" is my backyard, but GYX is only at 44". So it's been pretty disastrous for the WFO. The only worse season since the office moved here was actually last year. GYX should have just over 80" by now.

    43.1" is pretty brutal and feels like a D+, but considering the blizzard (legit around here) I'm going to want to give it a C-. Seriously, that blizzard makes me want to include it as 70, 80, 90% of the winter grade.

    This is real cold. None of that Maple Hollow stuff.

    I'd say the new guys suck, but I'm not even new anymore.

    Yeah, all the radar is "seeing" is targets with a velocity which could be clouds as well as precip. So as long as the radar "sees" something it can estimate a wind speed.
  19. OceanStWx
    There's actually been research about both velocity and QPE coverage by radars, and the bigger hole locally is around EEN.

    CXX for all it's siting issues is actually in a great location for the VAD and upslope snow. Like GYX is relatively useless for what is going on at Pittsburg.

    You're looking at the velocity aziumuth display (VAD) from KCXX. It's an attempt by the radar to estimate horizontal wind over time at different heights above the radar. You look back in time to the left and height increases as you go up.

    On a sunny day I'm already thinking of switching the heat pumps over to cooling during the day when I'm on midnights. Can't stand the bedroom creeping up to 72 degrees.

    "GYX-Short Term Forecaster: BOX...Kevin says hi."

    I thought with his prominence he upslopes in every direction?
