Typhoon Tip

Yeah, like tomorrow lol It may be delayed and/or mitigated a little in WOR or SW CT but my experience (and climo of model error for that matter) if there is a BD within reach, it typically really end up in Atlanta GA's asshole

well... not to troll this any more than it is trolling itself ...zomb but, this is a heat burst guys. Busting climo by almost 30 on the high ?! It's also akin to another ( yet ...) in the growing #'s of this sort of thing that have been taking place since the 2000's. Feb-Apr is low DP high kinetic air risk now more than ever, as these occurrence prove so in the "hot" numbers and +frequency.

Sorry to keep harping this but I'm astounded by 70+ air blowing across fields packed over by snow what the holy f is going on

Wait a sec ... didn't we have 12 to 18" of pan-dimensional snow pack on 12/22/2020, and then zero by the next morning ? That was faster than this. This has taken 3 days and I still have snow 3 or 4" deep Granted, with 75 air wafting over

haha... f you no but seriously I did read a paper recently ( Phys.org ) where CC- attribution is causing: bigger temp swings. more frequent severe cold snaps, where the bottoms of the cold are slowly elevating. They pointed out this latter aspect, too - which I found interesting. heat waves are becoming more frequent in the summers, lasting on average a day longer, and maxing out higher. As far as the lows versus high, I'm not sure of any science discipline to back this up so don't shoot me but I thought low temperatures over eastern N/A were where the ballast of our elevating means were coming from? check that -

Inneedsnow knew and tried to warm us

74 or 75 at every home site on Wunder within 5 miles of mi casa fwiw That's with snow on the ground. This is also the greatest temperature and still snow pack combination I've ever seen at this elevation.

It's explainable... ... the prevailing flow is W --> E in the Northern Hemisphere mid latitudes. As it encounters the N -- S oriented topographical interference of the western N/A continental cordillera, the flow is forced to rise over the terrain. As it does so, the Coriolis force then deflects toward the N... This is a somewhat exaggerated annotation to cartoon demo that action In the absence of any wave disturbances moving through the flow, this standing wave pattern above is always in place. Now ... there are times when the waves in the flow overwhelm this perpetual forcing. There are times when the opposite occurs ... and the above forcing is in sync. When it is out of sync, the former circumstance, we refer to that as negative interference, thus positive interference when the opposite is true. The problem, when there is a trough in the E that means the basal forcing above is constantly supporting its existence. Not the other way around. So if we follow this to it's logical end... that means that cooler tendencies should be favored in the east because the flow wants to trough anyway. Per course, warm west, cool east. It's really rather remarkable that we ever get hot here considering this above is a planetary construct really. Anyway, so when you sense that it is harder to get it warm and stay warm at certain times of the year, it's probably just because this return tendency above is claiming a few extra weeks per year and favoring it to end up cooler comparatively to the west. This is at all scales too... Backdoor cold fronts are also a microcosm of this same effect, really. The flow E of the Berks-Whites ... tries to tuck at all time, as the flow bumps over those elevations and then is forced to descend. This way we suffer them. So we have the continental favoring, and an extra factor local to New England's geographical circumstances ...

Flow is still speed oriented. I mean, we clear the deck of that cold from late Thursday, and Friday evening there's already a burst of WAA snow across NNE ...possibly as far S as CNE if you believe the GFS. The CMC has the clipper too - neither is ultimately impressive ... so to stable reactions. But just in principle, we can hardly put our coffee cups down and everything's rollin' out

It's funny you say this. I was just thinking that this would be a fantastic "spring skiing" pattern. I don't ski - which is a shame, because I was good at it the few times I did go when I was teenager. anyway, I recall out in I think Aspen, seeing tee-shirters on snow boards with sun tan lotion on their noses sticking out under dark goggles.

Welp, it's 71 F with snow in the yard and fields ... -that settles that debate

I guess "impractical" would have been a better word choice. heh. I don't have any grievances with people willing to share - although some in here do tend to lean of those that don't share in theirs.

Now's a good time for the GFS' projection to wind up a hornet sting through an isothermal sounding.

I don't get into the winter grading thing ... much, but, it seems to me it's all just about an arithmetic between individualized preferences, minus experiences. Which due to the former, cannot be universal... thus, making grading utterly useless. It cannot be standardized for the simple reason that no two "snow flakes'" preferences are exactly the same. In fact, vary too much to depend on any scale to fairly label the thing.

65 here... not bad for 11am ( which is really 10 am in non fake human time) ...
