ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Wow, I see its pretty darn warm up there. I went there for two years between 2000-2002. My first winter the snow didn't melt till May. Second year it was gone earlier but my second to last day in mid May there was a snowfall. It must be pretty surreal. Yeah everyone is outside enjoying this awesome weather. Got to 77F for the high and it's just awesome. Still 71.1F as we speak. Too bad I'm inside re writing thermodynamics notes...

powderfreak Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 What were the biggest temperature swings today? I ended up with 77/31 for a max/min for a change of 46F... but MVL out in the field beat me a little each way with 78/30 for a change of 48F! Going almost 50F from the morning low to afternoon high is pretty awesome, does anyone know if anyone hit a true 50F today for a diurnal swing? Think of it like a morning low of 0F and then being 50F in the afternoon... crazy. Beautiful sunset out there from a bridge on the Rec Path out back.

Fingerhut retired 4 years ago. Dr. Nolan Atkins is teaching thermo now. I'm not sure he was here in 2002 when you were here though.

klw Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 78.3 for a max here. It was perfect weather for that spring time ritual- pick up all the pop that my dog left in the snow the previous 3 months.

red Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Wow. A snippet from CAR's facebook page. Insane warmth. ...Bangor... Tuesday forecast: 76 Tuesday record: 58 Wednesday forecast: 80 Wednesday record: 64 Thursday forecast: 77 Thursday record: 66 If Bangor hits 80F on Wednesday, it will set an all-time March record (current March record is 79F) as well as the earliest 80F on record (current record earliest is Apr 11).

tamarack Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Had 74/29 IMBY, and back to about 30 this AM. That high temp is 4F above my previous March peak in 14 yr here, though it may only last a couple days. Still 3 tough inches of white stuff at the stake; some should make it thru today, but that will be gone by tomorrow aft. The 52F range at CON is remarkable. Greatest diurnal range without a CF that I've measured was 86/30 on 5/21/77 in Ft. Kent, the day before CAR tied its all time high at 96. Same sort of dry warmth on W winds. (Biggest range for any day was on 2/2/76, also in FK, with 46/-11 as a 957 mb SE gale turned to frigidity, temp fell from 44 to -6 in 5 hr.)

OceanStWx Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 If Bangor hits 80F on Wednesday, it will set an all-time March record (current March record is 79F) as well as the earliest 80F on record (current record earliest is Apr 11). Considering the standardized anomalies at pushing +3 this amazingly isn't that surprising. If you think about temperatures as your typical bell curve, that means we're way out on the wing, with 99% of the data below the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Got down to 40F last night here. Already up to 58.4F as of 10:40am. I tink we will hit 70F once again, and guidance will bust low over most of northern VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Temps have responded back into the 50s after a low of 37 this AM..some high cloud cover right now. Looking at the visibile satellite, that should clear soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Bow Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Got down to 40F last night here. Already up to 58.4F as of 10:40am. I tink we will hit 70F once again, and guidance will bust low over most of northern VT. Already at 75.1 here, unreal. Not even noon yet, this is just too early for this kind of weather. I have had those little Johnny Jump Up flowers blooming in an area of my garden for a few days now, with tulips and various other bulbs around the garden shooting 3-4 inches above the ground. This weather is making me feel like replanting the Elephant Ear and Caladium bulbs and lots of other garden related tasks that need to be done but it's so early. It'd be foolish to assume we won't see some anymore temps in the 20's before the cold season is done but it would be nice to have this much of a head start in the garden.

OceanStWx Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Backdoor front is failing big time. Obs suggest the high is nosing over into the Maritimes and it should begin making a bigger push southwest soon, but it too late to really impact highs today. You guys along the coast are more likely to sea breeze before peak heating than to get hit with the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably with their next update I would imagine. Just unreal. Although, I've actually cooled off .6 degrees in the last ten minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adk Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I wonder if we will hit all time monthly highs for BTV? I'm going guess it will be close but no dice. All time march high is 84. (3/31/98). Don't think we jump that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 High today was again 77.8F. Can't believe it got so warm today. One March day of 70F is something for my elevation but two 77F days is crazy. Five days of 70F probably has not happened in modern times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 74F up here. Amazing. Guidance busted low once again. MOS had 69F for a high at St. J and its currently 74F and will probably hit 75F. Another day busted by 6F or more. GFS is printing out highs 72-74F across the north country for Wed and Thursday. Many could hit 80F the way guidance has been performing. EDIT: And wouldn't you know it, BTV updated their grids to include a nice 80F Wednesday!

tamarack Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Reached 70 in AUG, after yesterday's 76; the BD lopped all of 5F from the warmth here. "Better late than never" probably doesn't work for this one. Also, the clouds and slight chance of showers are each no-shows here, which certainly made 70 easier to reach despite a change in airmass. Zero complaints, however; I expect to hear the woodfrogs quacking sometime this week, the next sure sign of spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
