  1. Snow crystals slamming against each other is the leading theory of how thunderstorms get electrified.
  2. Yup - shift everything 200 nmi east and we’re good. Also would help to have a 50/50 low to lock in cold air. But maybe that doesn’t normally show up yet anyway. Any correlations that anyone has noticed between 50/50 lows and ENSO state? .
  3. Hingham also has a orientation issue - it’s on an east-west oriented stretch with water to the north. So even a NNE or N wind, which would give most everybody else a shot at holding on to some cold, has too much overwater fetch to make it work. Granted, it’s mainly just Boston Harbor we’re talking about, but especially early in the season, it mixed in too much heat content at lower levels. .
  4. The time of year too - this time of year the sun is always below the maximum 42 degrees elevation, so the rainbow is visible all day. The farther away from noon it is, the more rainbow is visible. .
  5. We're still temporally near the minimum of the cycle even though getting some active sunspots. I think we're still good even with the recent spike given the historically low background state of this cycle. Also, the low but ascending part of the cycle generally seems to do better than the descending part anyways (unless you're near the 11-year peak)
  6. Simple momentum transfer from the falling rain would make one think so.
  7. I had read something, years ago, that suggested that...anthropomorphizing as it may be, the atmosphere has to "learn" how to storm after long periods with no synoptic storms (e.g. summer). That once it had done it one time, something in the atmosphere had "learned" something and was primed to do it more easily the next time. Tip, any thoughts?
  8. Let's at least hope for upwelling as this thing passes by...at the very least, removal of upper ocean heat content so maybe won't be as quick to turn to rain at the coast.
  9. GFS shows it…complete with fantasy cane at the same time. .
  10. Snowfall associated with a tropical system actually occurred in NE in 1804 (New England Snow Hurricane) and 1963 (Hurricane Ginny)
  11. September is what used to be called "rebound days" at my college in VT
  12. That Central Park concert about to get wet. .
  13. My condo building in Winchester, MA. Top floor, great view to NE
  14. From 3:45 pm BOX AFD... Temperatures will be only slightly above normal, with highs generally in the low to mid 80s. Should be good weather for most summer outdoor activities (boating/swimming/boonie-stomps). ????
  15. Somebody go out and sample the rain later, see if there's any soot in it...
  16. Off tobic, but...anybody catch that warm-core system near Bermuda end of next week? Way too early to talk TCs but still...
  17. So as the HC expands north (CC)do you think it’ll eventually put E NE in the trade wind belt in the summer? Says the weather geek looking for his first landfalling TC from the *east* like in the Caribbean...Probably still 50 years or so from that happening.
  18. It’s concerning however that a cold pool still develops N of AK at the end of the runs. Been there for several runs now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
