moneypitmike Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Awesome in the World...very hot...averaged 95/75 for the most part. I was not bothered by the heat most of the time, but sweated like crazy. We had lots of great experiences. Once we left Disney and went to Daytona it was kinda sad. The area was largely strip malls and roads and condos. I had been there several times before but it is not my cup of tea. The 8-10 it was pretty cloudy and rainy which was good for mitigating the heat. Hotel was amazing, the parks were great, my family loved it. Probably can't go again for 2 years ($$$) but a super time. Here is the storm that rolled through one evening as we were awaiting a boat back to the hotel (and our balcony view): Good looking pics, Dave. Welcome back. When do you return the fun of the school year? Awesome day out there. Just mowed my new lawn area for the first time. Grass took pretty well during the warmest month of the year. 67.3/52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Just past noon and I'm sitting at 69.0/52. The way August should be. 67 here at 2k. Breezy and cool despite the August sun. We've picked up good rains here in western Hampshire and Berkshire county recently. I'm surprised your qpf has been so light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 You're 2-3 degrees above normal for the month of August so far..Humid doesn't equal cool 67 under sunny skies in August screams brutal torch. The sizzle calls are going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Looks like last Jan precipitation distribution. Least rainfall runs the Route 2 corridor in NH/Maine - no surprise there. Sun now breaking thru cloud in AUG, temp was upper 60s last I looked, probably getting a bounce to low 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Is that a TC the 12z Euro is showing off the east coast next week or another coastal? It's actually the coastal low rotting there, but there is a tropical system that moves east of the low, after hour 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 66/53, breezy, a high of 72 (67 @ 2k), a beautiful cool day, cool enough to make one think of Autumn and all that remains to be done before the snow flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in another tcu from my trip This one almost caught us on the lake because they pulled all of the smaller boats used to ferry folks back and forth. Took a while to send more boats.

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Great evening... already down to 58.4F. Maybe back in the 40s for the first time in a while. Might need to close the windows tonight and throw on an extra blankie. Pete meanwhile will report heavy frost and 6-12" at 2K... Nice moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost is likely within 4 weeks or so. Amazing that here in the heart of the supposed torch of an August you're having to close windows and wear your flannel footy pj's.

Wiz would love it there. Convection city Nah, just some dinner and a few beers. Nice pics. The one thing about FL, is that you can really see the whole evolution of tstms from start to finish. Sometimes that's tough to do here, as the precursor to tstms, the anvil cirrus, make that difficult to see in these parts. Sometimes you get lucky, though.

The one advantage of a totally flat state... you can see these building 50 miles out. The lightning out of one of these storms was great. CGs that would last for a second or so pulsing... We felt sort of scared since we were waiting for boats on the edge of a large lake. I'm just going through pics tonight...when we went 5 years ago we took about 150 pics... this time 700+ plus the professional ones... another 150. Did you live there (Florida)?

ski MRG Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 53/51, upper 40's seem likely. Perfect. A nice stretch of cool weather followed by even cooler rainy weather.

HoarfrostHubb Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ahhhhhhhhh.... EXPECT AN EXCELLENT NIGHT FOR SLEEPING AS WINDS DROP OFF AND TEMPS FALL. SHOULD SEE A WIDE RANGE IN OVERNIGHT LOWS...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORMALLY COLDER VALLEYS AS WINDS BECOME CALM. COULD SEE A FEW READINGS INTO THE UPPER 40S...BUT WILL MAINLY SEE TEMPS FALL BACK TO THE 50S EXCEPT LOWER 60S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. MAY SEE SOME PATCHY FOG LATE AT NIGHT IN SOME OF THE INLAND SUSCEPTIBLE VALLEYS AND ALONG SE MA.-- End Changed Discussion -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Serious question guys. I want to move to Adams, Massachusetts eventually, hopefully within the next 2 years. I'm a huge elevation weather nerd, so I'm wondering how is the weather there? All I really know about the area is the elevation is 3,400ft and it's a quaint little town. How many inches of snowfall a year is the average? and what is the average summer time temperatures there? Any input would be much appreciated, I can't wait to actually witness the heart of a Nor' Easter instead of always being on the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Perhaps the finest real summer day of the year today. Comfortable, almost no humidity. Looks pretty reasonable for a spell but the big heat will be lurking to our sw so nothing is a lock. I think we average 2-3 above 8/16-31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the highest elevation you can live in Massachusetts? that has descent snows and cooler summer temps? Probably some areas in Florida, MA just east of Adams...they'll have communities in the 2000-2500 foot range where people actually live. Places in Peru, MA and Windsor, MA also get around 2,000 feet with houses a little bit higher. Savoy, MA as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
