HoarfrostHubb Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 34.2F here Wachusett seems to be making at least a little snow. Surprised it is cold enough over there to be doing it. Good wind overnight. Local Weatherbug recorded 38 mph Nice to be on a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 30/25 here. Shocking, I've got a lower reading than Mike and Pete. Wow--by a large margin, Chris. Actually, your morning lows are very frequently lower than mine. Surprised to see that today with the CAA, though. 35.4/23 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, you should have each day's lesson shift to meteorology as the models are coming out and the 8th graders can all interpret them and you can post those here. lol Mohawk district only has a half day.

My son has no school either, but my wife does. Not sure how decisions are made. Lots to do on this day before Thanksgiving. I wish I could work meteorology into the lessons (we do a little...mostly in pressure, Bernouli, gas laws and such). The way the state has it so tight there is little wiggle room. That would be neat to do as a special, though! I get to teacvh those now and then. Let's see...Jimmy, you have gym today, Ruthie, you have GFS vs Euro ensemble analysis, Barbara, you have art...

MaineJayhawk Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Just checking out Billings, Montana ... last three days the high temp has not gotten above 4F. On the 18th the high was 60F, the next day the high was 18F. lol Also, they have had nearly 15" of snow this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 18th the high was 60F, the next day the high was 18F. lol Also, they have had nearly 15" of snow this month. Extremely impressive for the west. It's almost like a self sustaining or self developing cold. What happens is that the cold is forced south and west at the same time, which then is forced to upslope right into the east side of the Rockies. The upslope factor causes the air to cool even more. We actually see this many times in the North Carolina interior in cold air damming situations. The upslope component cools the air a few degrees more.

CoastalWx Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Gonna have a smoked turkey again I think. My brother-in-law smoked it last year and it was phenomenal. I'm pumped for that, as I work until 2pm and then it's heavy heavy feasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Man it's windy out there. I can hear it pressing against the house. Gusting to 30mph at PWM. Nothing too exciting here. House gave a few creaks last night, though. Gonna have to whip out the leaf blower this weekend before the snowpack comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 as we thought last week, it only gets better the first week of Dec, game on, analogs today are bunching around 2005 I hope. It's pretty typical for me to go to Williamstown at T-Giving and have frozen precip (and non-frozen turkey). Many times, it's followed by something frozen in eastern New England a week or so later. Just gonna hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
