Mr Torchey Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 that's awesome. My daughter turns 7 in December and I'm hoping she might be old enough for it--I think she already is. But, arent' snow days supposed to be spent in the snow??? 67.2/66 2.20" We sled 3-4 hrs a day when the time allows, I build a fun snow ramp off the back deck, but its fun to sit by the fire after that and watch some chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I thought that dry area was going to head my way, but instead it just missed and went into VT instead. Might still catch some breaks later on, but for now it's rain city. We've had some intense rainfall rates, currently -rn but more rn+ about to move in. I'll bet we'll top 3" for the 24hr period midnight to midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 That's what I'm worried about. What was supposed to be a wet week is turning into a drought Herein lies the credibility problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Still in the gap here between the steady cold anafrontal rain and the downpours over east..... Ovc and a bit of drizzle at times. 59/58. . I thought that dry area was going to head my way, but instead it just missed and went into VT instead.

scoob40 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Not a drop here 77/68 off a high of 85. One of these days I'm going to drive the 28.6 miles up to zip 01084 and see firsthand this oasis of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Euro shows two potentials for first frost in the most favored areas...one would be next Sunday morning, and the next would be perhaps the middle of next week a few days later. We'll see if those cool shots stick as we get closer. The one further out is pure speculation, but the one for this coming weekend is getting close enough to think about.

Damn sure it's not the Pit. lol Even if the frosts don't appear, the airmass that even makes them a possibility is itself an awesome thing.

ORH_wxman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Favored SNE locations or the iceboxes of NNE like SLK, HIE, etc? Or both? Both probably. I was being SNE-centric, but certainly the SLK types will probably drop to frost levels assuming we have good radiational cooling conditions present. We get into the +4 to +5C range at 850 and with a good clear high over us, that should do the trick in the favored spots. I wont sniff it on a hill here, but the elevated rural valleys and such have a shot. We'll see as we get closer, it could be overdoing it a bit, not sure. Its been consistent thus far though in showing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when the radar shows a brief break overhead it's still raining. Looks like much more rolling up from the SW. It won't surprise me to be close to 4" by morning.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Things back to normal in Greenfield? Traffic is still being routed through town b/c I-91 S is closed until at least mid-week. The bridge abutments were scoured from the raging Deerfield River so they want to reinforce them. I fear this rain will delay things a few more days. I can't imagine what traffic was like this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just hit 3.00" on the day. Fortunately, I don't think the rivers are amassing these amounts further upstream (are they?) which I think would limit their rise? 67.1/66 3.00" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Last gasp of Summer for Labor day weekend and then first frost by mid month. Been saying it since early August. I think warmth will come back after these cool shots...usually do in a Nina. Sometimes October is warm too, but I'm not sure which way I'm leaning for that month yet. But I will say that I'll be fairly surprised if September finishes below avg temp-wise as the pattern just doesn't look to support that right now.

As long as things aren't sucky like winter 2001-2002, I'll take whatever fall offers. I was living in the valley then (Easthampton) and it was awful. Don't know how things were up here in the Hilltowns that year, but I guess for the bulk of SNE it was a big stinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a terrible winter though the hills actually salvaged a merely bad/terrible winter versus a historically horrific winter like some of the lower spots did. There were a few elevation events...esp in March 2002. Nina falls are frequently warm, but they don't have to be. I'll be interested to see October. September I'm feeling is going to have a hard time coming in negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Just let my dog out and noticed 2 things: 1) The Moon, with some clouds, but not nearly the washout I expected from today/tonight 2) Barred owl really close to the house. Wicked loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
