Typhoon Tip Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Huh, interesting. If you are a non-member, apparently, you are subjected to ads now. In fact, many key words in our posts have been converted to links that fire off applets that are advertisements for various industry sectors. When you log in, they disappear. Not sure I agree with this practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it shows that those currently at the helm are enterprising. Good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm getting a bit interested in Tuesday overnight into Wednesday now...in terms of elevational wet snow. It is marginal at best, but could surprise. Eh, seems like a fairly innocuous practice. If it helps sustain AmWx and it is limited in this way fine.

snowman21 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Certainly possible. I'm staying conservative now with 58. Smart, as the conservative approach usually is. I think 60s are a good bet in Fairfield County at least. We got to about 65 last month, so hitting 70-72 wouldn't be all that surprising. It is mid-March after all and an extra hour or two of sunshine under an upper level ridge makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is marginal at best, but could surprise. I was just wondering what could happen with that period. Sure would be nice and not really surprising.

And yes it is to support forum operational costs without having to ask for excessive donations every fall. Many forums do this now. If you have Firefox with NoScript you can actually avoid them in guest mode as well. If you're logged in...no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah on a day 5 forecast I don't like going more than +/- 10 over climo generally. In this situation... if that strong cold front north sinks a bit too far south... or we get too much cloudiness we could have trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 46/26 seasons are changing pretty quickly now, really nice having it light out past 7! 3-6 for ski country tues night? Down to 41.9/30 here...should get below freezing tonight. Spring is not far though, already noticing some buds on trees in the City. It's amazing how the seasonal change accelerates as you get into mid-March. Hoping for one last snowfall in late March/early April, but hope is fleeting. Looks like warmth dominates for a while. Sad to say goodbye to a beautiful winter, too bad the second half sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Incidentally, I know it's early...but it ALMOST seems like the elephant woke up and is parking his fat azz over us for a spell. Fine with me. I like it warm anytime but winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 You can tell winter is dying when you guys get into it over daylight savings time. Normal spring day, 51. White cliff stuffed with golfers meh, high of 45 here. Average mid-march day, with some skiing. Forget the Enter the Haggis bit... Misread dpmething Rockin the bagpipes Spent the afternoon at Wachusett rippin up the corn. Actually went on 2 trails I had never been on due to the lack of lighting at night. Awesome fun but legs are mush No lines, up and down. Up and down More winter fun this week Were you there at like 5:15? I thought I recognized you from the pics posted of you on here from gtg's but maybe not. It was a great night for skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it warm anytime but winter. Yeah, but the quality of this February/March is definitely detracting from the character of the overall winter. Sad to see such an historic year end in a bland manner. I think my grade is down to A-, very disappointed with how the pattern broke down after the January 27th MECS. GFS looks warm until blocking returns March 23rd or so, the period that JB and HM seem to be highlighting for colder temperatures in the East and a potential late season snowfall.
