Thunder now.

Rough day for the wind weenies. I wonder if the CAD holding longer was a harbinger. Yesterday BOS stayed AOB freezing during the day. Even this morning it held in the low 40s. Worcester was also low 40s per the car thermometer when I got there around 12:20pm. Of course it was near 60 when I left just before 3. When I go outside I can hear the wind roar above my 200 foot elevation but not much near the ground. It continues to pour though.

In your area and mine yes, off the so called beaten path I’m not sure. In any case Paul’s idea of finding a place where cutting isn’t necessary is probably best if it can happen.

Depending on the size, it could easily be $5k per tree. But when buying a house you could try to negotiate that part and have the sellers do it.

So BOS rotting at 39 while I’m 51-about 10 miles away.

What was Diego?

Interesting that Logan was below freezing to freezing all day. BOS went above after 6pm. No zl reported though and mby has stayed above freezing.

Tracking d11 these days. What the blue fuck!

Thank you my friend! That’s been my impression but the weenies are acting like 1938 is en route.

No help from wiz-he’s too excited. I’m not following this all that closely so I’m legit looking for advice.

Ok I’m supposed to go to Worcester for a noon meeting and a holiday party early afternoon. I’m thinking I could probably stay ahead of damaging winds if I leave by 3 to return home?

The most common reason is a small refractive error that causes more blurriness with a bigger pupil limiting depth of focus. So people do fine in daylight but sometimes struggle. at night. It's common in younger folks with a small amount of myopia (nearsightedness). But older folks with hyperopia (farsightedness) or astigmatism or both experience it as well.

They know-I tell them how the weekend will play out every week. Of course it’s summer so weenieism is lower.

I actually gave it more thought and told myself you’re right. I’d come if we can schedule one on a date I could do.

They are too and I keep as low a profile as possible. I don’t worry too much about the example so much. The students are typically young adults ranging from 23-30. Anyway is this still happening?

Not with respect to annual snow. Using Boston as a barometer, snow totals in the most recent 30 year climo are (I think) the highest they have been in the period of record going back to the late 19th century. I do remember growing up in NNJ and climo then-the 1950s and early 60s seemed similar to the Boston area today.

Allsnow is legit-been around a long time. He's posting data and we may not like it but he's as much of a snow weenie as any of us. I grew up in NJ-it snows there or at least it used to just like here. I don't understand the lack of tolerance for viewpoints different than gung ho winter. The pattern looks kind of bad the next week or 2 but my sense is this winter will be more normal-meaning most of it will be frustrating at times with periods of ok. As a kid-there were long periods of garbage but some winters rocked. For a long time lower snow totals have been creeping north in the 30 year averages. But SNE northward has been spared this effect. About 15 years ago during one of the conferences we used to have annually, I think Paul Kocin posted this data. However, we cleaned up 1991-2020 so we may just be paying the piper. But one would have to assume that low snow creep doesn't stop at the CT south coast.

I probably won’t do Funky’s anymore while I’m teaching my course at the university. I don’t want to bump into any of my students. I plan to teach the course summer of 2025 and possibly 2026 but not afterwards. I’d consider another venue but I realize Funky’s is one of our mainstays. I thought I found Clarkes but who can remember details >10 years ago. I do remember looking at a hellacious torch 4-5 days out in 2017 that never materialized and we actually got snow and ice. I think Scooter and Will were chuckling about the 84 hour NAM wondering if it was sniffing out the cad. It was.

A lot of us knew you way back when......

I can’t do 12/14 at Funkys. Week of 12/16 doesn’t work for me either. What about 12/30 at Clarkes? Or maybe 2 weeks later (1/13/25)?

I give you permission to wait until the gefs. Using a 384 op is basically worthless especially when it’s been changing dramatically run to run.

Primshine-stop pontificating on clown range op solutions. Post ensembles to make your point.

It was a graupel shower. I was driving in it and was able to assess.

Perspective: 2 winters ago BOS had its coldest temperature since I was 10 years old. It can still get cold. The difference is the season is shorter vs decades ago.

Gefs and eps are better aligned in the long range now. Looks like a half decent look heading into holiday week.
