wxeyeNH Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 The 1977 event was amazing in the Boston suburbs being so late in the season. The April 7 1982 event stands out to because it was such a cold storm. Blowing and drifting. I believe the high on April 8th was someplace in the teens at Logan airlport, unbelievable.

Really, not here, of course there was still a little snow left and the snow hasn't stopped yet. Why is the day stolen? I've been working ouside and it's awesome. I guess some people stay inside curled up in the fetal position if it's not sunny and 70. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I believe today was the second latest I've ever seen accumulating snow in Ma. The early May 1977 storm was the latest. Even Cambridge got a coating out of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, too each is own... but I don't even think it is really all that subjective. 99.9999999999999991 percent of all people in world (which leaves pretty much only you - haha) thinks that a Saturday in the mid 30s in the end of April with wet snow and rain ruining any ability to enjoy the outdoors has any value. And trying to espouse 1/4 to one inch of snow as argumentative is more like irrationalization. By the way, the "torch" this week is in jeopardy until later Wednesday it would appear. The models keep pinning the warm boundary S. 12z NAM has the ENE drizzlies all the way S of NYC beginning tomorrow evening and until further notice.

Typhoon Tip Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Not really that late or extraordinary. I've seen snow in May quite a few times and once on June 1st. Keep in mind, there is an elevation disparity between you and that person. For 150' elevations, it is quite late - but I also don't think those lower els had much more than noodles. I had that for 3 or 4 hours but just light rain now ...I believe my el is 190' here in Ayer. Pretty much a valley. My buddy in FIT lives around 900' N of rt 2 and had parachutes this morning.

Eh, 99% of people see no value of extreme cold, snow storms, extreme heat, etc. Most people would prefer it be mild and sunny most of the time. It has meteorological value to see snow in late April. I sure as hell would have rather had an inch of snow then the RA+ at 40F I'm seeing right now. In regards to the second part, , 60s is fine, but save the torch for June/July.

Well I'll take my 1/2"+ of snow today over 35F and rain. It's been quite a snowy day here for late April so as a weather lover it's an interesting event. I wouldn't have minded 70F+ and sun either though.As for the NAM, it brings the boundary to CNE by Tue afternoon like the EC, but it definitely looks dreary for points N and E of ORH. Wed through Fri look brilliant though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, No, There are many that are similarly afflicted. If you live in New England you need to be adaptive. As you know, we have a limited period of time with mild, benign weather. If it were sunny and warm today I'd play golf. Since it's not I'm burning the last of the trees that came down this Winter. Better now than when red flag weather is here. I'll go fishing for an hour or two this afternoon even if it's a driving 33 degree rain. I can understand that after a long Winter those that have been couped up month after month would be getting stir crazy. Fortunately, for me I love inclement weather and like being out in it. It's great to be battered by the elements and then, at the end of a long day, retreat into a cozy warm home. I think the torch calls will fall flat this week. After an anomolous Spring last year I think people forget that April and May can be nasty months with only the occasional tease of warmth and sun. I expect this go 'round we'll have more misery than warm and sunny naked frolicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether people appreciate the extremes or not bares no relevance to the fact that today is objectively a very crappy weather day. Ha ha - I'm only f ck n with him, though. It's all good. Honestly, it was kind of interesting to be running errands this morning with those big noodles crackling across the windshield. I like looking up when it's on the edge of the mix zone because you can barely make out the snow field aloft...Melt line has to be around 700' for that.

I expect this go 'round we'll have more misery than warm and sunny naked frolicking. It is highly subjected what is and is not considered a torch. There's no definition for that in Meteorology. Frankly I rarely use the term in my own writings because I think it's silly without some definition that is empirically derived. That said, the original outlooks were a kind of Monday - Wed... Now it appears that the warm boundary will labor through until later Wed at the earliest, and then we'll be pretty toasty from then through at least next Saturday here in SNE. Trust me, the boundary will get through though eventually and we'll be unilaterally above normal, perhaps substantially so. I do, however, see this as a dirty warm sector deal, ranging from morning strata streets giving way the season's first afternoon 60dps type airmass once in.
