dryslot Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I dispute his assertions about having 12 beers. His post is more lucid than normal. Anyway, I digress ... light snow falling here with a dusting on all surfaces. Woooo! Butt buddies.......... He could not have had 12 beers, The spelling was spot on....

wxmanmitch Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Oh yeah, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!! Schweet! Nice...the higher inversion around 750 to 800 mb may be helping the east slope to cash in on the lake effect residuals and upslope today. If the inversion is lower say lower than 850 mb or so, it seems like the upslope stuff has a harder time making it past the crest. I've seen cases when the inversion drops to near or below 900 mb, the upslope banks up the west side of the Taconics and may not even reach the Berkshire crest. I remember a retrograding low event on 1/3/10 when this occurred. The west slope of the Taconics had over a foot, I had 8 inches, and the east slope had hardly anything. The west side of the Taconics tends to get the best of the upslope in these NW flow CAA situations, especially around Grafton, NY, but the inversion level can determine how far east the upslope machine makes it. Higher inversions allow for spillover to occur, while lower inversions prevent this by blocking the flow. This process is more pronounced in VT, but it can happen here too on a smaller scale. Regardless, upslope machine is pretty weak today, but it's nice to see a few flakes in the air. No accumulation here, just a trace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typing is a lot easier when you're drunk with spell checker... A huge pet peeve of mine is mis-spelling (I thinks that how you spell that) and using the words "to" and "too" correctly.

weatherMA Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 33.9/19, skied at wawa for a few hours this afternoon. Conditions weren't too bad all things considered. Feels like winter, and the P+C actually has snow in it 4 times. Alas, its either for flurries, snow showers, or brief snow to rain. OT: Got into Lyndon and Plymouth with 5K/year from PSU and 3K/year from Lyndon State. I didn't really apply to any schools that I didn't expect to get into without a problem, but its still nice.

CapturedNature Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Never wise to count your chickens before they hatch..... 24.2/12 Agreed...for Snowman and me. If the min temp for the day is at midnight, the exact average temp and thus the departure has yet to be determined. May fall just short of breaking the double digit streak tomorrow... NORMAL FORECAST ID HI LO HI LO DEP ---------------------- BOS 40 27 30 23 - 7 BDL 39 23 31 19 - 6 PVD 41 26 33 22 - 6 ORH 35 22 27 15 - 8 We'll see, but you're probably right. The impressive streak continues, but at least we're heading in the right direction. It feels more like December than it has. And, I have 5/14 forecast periods have snow mentioned so that's a plus! 28/19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
