moneypitmike Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wow--what a difference across the region. I thought my 35.9/23 was kind of widespread. Not sure why I thought that, but boy was I wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wow--what a difference across the region. I thought my 35.9/23 was kind of widespread. Not sure why I thought that, but boy was I wrong. Yeah, the valley is holding the cold. Now if we could only keep the sun obscured by clouds... 32/22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Today might be the warmest day of the week. I think some spots hit 60 today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah, the valley is holding the cold. Now if we could only keep the sun obscured by clouds... 32/22 It's not just the valley--looks like much of the areas in NW Mass/VT that's running cooler. Your location does appear extra cold--congratulations! 36.9/24 now, sun through high clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yeah, the valley is holding the cold. Now if we could only keep the sun obscured by clouds... 32/22 OT-- don't know if you bike, but I mapped out a great 30 mile ride that loops from the PIT through your neck of the woods. Pretty much car-free. SOmething to look forward to once mud-season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Torch on hold here which makes sense. 37 mostly cloudy 38 at bdr at ten am with east winds...........looks like the snowpack will survive, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
met_fan Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 For once it pays to be on the valley floor. 30/21 I'm on the valley floor 5 miles down the road from you and I'm at 40/29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radarman Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm on the valley floor 5 miles down the road from you and I'm at 40/29 FWIW my temp matches the mesonet map a lot better than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 53/31 with overcast, wow Up to 38.0/25 overcast now. Suspect most of the snow/ice on my driveway may melt today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsor Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Impressive how localized the LI Sound cooling effect is. BDR is 38F and places just 2-3 miles inland are around 50F.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Up to 38.0/25 overcast now. Suspect most of the snow/ice on my driveway may melt today. I'm sure we'll torch for a while this afternoon but having a cold start and clouds through late morning will reduce some of the damage. I can't believe there area already places in the 50's! btw - love to see your bike map sometime. edit; 37/26 imby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Impressive how localized the LI Sound cooling effect is. BDR is 38F and places just 2-3 miles inland are around 50F. Micro climate here late winter into mid spring is incredible, last March was an excellent example with places just inland roasting while it was very pleasant and cool within a mile or two of the water.

Organizing Low Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Wow--what a difference across the region. I thought my 35.9/23 was kind of widespread. Not sure why I thought that, but boy was I wrong. i just hit 33F now, so it begins. my dewpoint is still only 23 just like yourself. we only hit 26 yesterday instead of the 34 forecast. so far i'm very pleased with how things have gone, but i know the worst is to come.

radarman Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 mesonet has Easthampton at 44 and Northampton at 41 I was reporting temps from a sensor in Amherst not Noho. Sorry for not specifying. It's possible it runs a bit cold and the reported temp might have been 20 minutes old (now showing 35). But it's certainly nowhere near 44 atm here.
