CT Rain Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think December 1988 was cold too though right? My brother was born on 12/9/88 and my father claims it was a brutally cold day with highs in the single digits. 20/34 at BDL that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 20/34 at BDL that day There was a brutal outbreak around that time though...I think a little after that. Dec 12-13, 1988 was brutal. I think the high terrain was colder though...classic CAA airmass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 It was cold, but I don't think we got much snow out of it. Then the rest of the winter was useless.

weatherwiz Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 GFS tonight looking pretty toasty beginning this weekend and next week. I'll gladly take that over 50's/60's and clouds. Until we get towards winter just let it be warm and enjoyable outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Blizz should win. the 2 neutral sites at 1450' were 59 and 57. Chester Hill and Goshen. You're 400' below both of those sites. Makes sense since the Peru site at 2k was 55F for a high. Can't be ..GC folks are never wrong. Ever. Have you noticed that though? All the GC folks never admit when they are wrong..I mean I love to argue in good nature..but when i'm wrong I admit I busted..They never , will ever say..hey we were wrong..or maybe my thermo does run too cold..or maybe NWS service forecasts aren't 100% accurate..It's almost like they snub their noses at the rest of us. No way it was 55F at 1060 feet or whatever is was there. Say what you will. And as far as the Home Deport thermometer--I will acknowledge it's possible shortocmings on accuracy. Of course, Kevin doesn't believe my DP2 readings eather. My take on it was the colder in VT (I"m 8 miles south as the crow flys) might, just might have ticked below the magic line that divides the GMS from the Bay State. Certainly wn't be the first time that's happened. And maybe, just maybe the fact that it was raining here from 10:30-3:30 may have had an efffect of keeping it cooler than those other sites (in case you hadn'lookd at the radar much there was a band about 8 miles wide that ran from Glens Falls, right through the Pit and continue to the SE from there. It didn't waiver from that line. As far as the Chester Hill site, I'm 30 miles north of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 And a final point regarding my readings (I hope we don't have to keep revisiting this), I never hear claims that my readings can't be right when I'm showing temps 10* higher than surrounding sties in the mornings. These include sites both higher than me and lower and located in all directions.. I'll let you in on a little secret: I resite my station into dense shade during the day time. And then at night, do you know what I do? I actually move it onto the deck and place it outside a window so the warmth of the house can filter through the window and keep it extra warm. But I guess you're onto me and Kevin is right:. Tolland and GC really do have the same weather after all. It's 52 on the HD special this morning. But, cearly that can't be right because look at all those sites that are 800' below me--surely I should be much cooler than them. In fact, Tolland is coming in at 50. We're the same of course, so I better change my report and say I'm 50 (I feel the need to stay in synch with Kevin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not a homogenous atmosphere as some have claimed, there was in fact a ribbon of steady precip right through Franklin county that persisted through the typically warmest part of the day. Using the Peru site's recorded high of 55 or my high of 56 as evidence that there is no way you maintained a high of 55 ignores the fact that we had an hour or two of brightened skies and even a break of sun when you still had rain and low clouds. It's no use fighting though Mike, the Easterners (and southerners in the case of Blizz) all seem to know what went on here despite living far far away. Both Chris and I , who were here and observed the weather with our own eyes (and sensors) believe you and that's what's really important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a site that was started a few years ago, allegedly for benign purposes, for Euswx and now Amwx posters to go. Evidently now it is nothing more than a repository for hate speak about NE'ers and other despised posters here. I've thought about trying to join but I don't want these people to have anymore info on me than they already have. After poor Cheetah440 had his private info leaked out after an AP altercation, Name, property taxes, place of employment etc, I don't trust the powers that be to have more info from me.

That's craziness. I'll stick to the good-natured ribbing and envy that is so prevalent here. And--lest people think you and I are birds of a feather, I do envy the extra snow you get. You're positioned right in line with streamers coming off Ontario. The follow the natural line that the Pike follows. The trajectory of the best winds has those head just to my south and over you.

ski MRG Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 While many here are seemingly fixated on torches, this week will feature highs in the mid 50's with several chances for more frost. Here in GC at least. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in GC at least. Nice. Actually, the cold this time around is centered more east and northeast of you, so areas near BOS will probably be closer to GC temps then they normally are. Places like Bangor and up through Caribou will be in the 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
