ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks! Definitely going to miss New England winters though I bet you will, but OU is a great opportunity for you! My buddy graduated last year from LSC and is working in Lawton, OK and he always tells me how the winter sucks but the spring is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Welp, we knew it was coming. The inevitability was written in the probability science of the thing. "There is no way we are going to sustain +30 departures from now until the end of April", was the prophetic gesture, which by common sense, the omonic value was preceded by the duh factor. Still, 7 to 10 days of absurd warmth in March is an irresistable drug; and, like all drugs, when you come down off the high ...eh, so so great. For me, I'd rather the weather not cast any dilusions at me. I don't want the forces that be to lie to me. I'd rather they just behave in their misery until May 1st, then bust out and become 84F highs with distant thunder in crispy towering cumulus clouds, with the smell of lilacs, and girls that actually enjoy talking to boys... When it gets gorgeous prematurely for a week in late March, it just puts holes in one's armor to face the reality of circa April 7. It is upon me again. Those who know me on this blogging know of one immutable truth: I HATE APRIL! One way or the other this next 30 days is going to suck worse than any other month of the calendar year. I just have to say it over and over again, so that if the 1 in a billion chance that April was not out to suck at least excuse imaginable, were to actually transpire, and the weather turns nice, I will be full of suprise.

Typhoon Tip Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I don't know if this is worth it's own thread but I feel it worth mentioning that the 48-72 hour translating open S/W, lugging a some milder air along it's underbelly, is toting along some interesting jet mechanics. Remember, when kinematics are strong, this can offset straight up CAPE definciencies. Although MU lapse rates need to be good, which they are for this wave. Super cell rolls down the Mohawk Trail 24 hours after the Michigan teleconnector played out (30 minute long track Tor west of Detroit), and brought 100 mile long hail streak. I had 1.00" diameter hail falling heavy enough to coat the ground in that one up at my place. Anyway, wondering if there might be a sneak thunderstorm chance with that wave.

Cold Miser Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 April is by far my least favorite month, with which ever month makes me sweat my dome off more (July/ August) coming in a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yeah, seriously. That's a huge signal for a pretty widespread severe threat from the Plains to the MS River Valley. It's pretty cool to see the simultaneous amplification of three waves across the Pacific into western North America. Strong global support for this trough it appears It's interesting how unlike the GFS this 12z Euro run is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 My lawn is probably greener than yours and I haven't created an ecological love canal in the surrounding area. I'm 100% sure yours isn't greener than mine rright now. And you'll have plenty of weeds and other major issues that I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'll take more snow please. Nothing is as refreshing after a week of June-like heat, than 40-50 mile per hour winds (flags straight out) and heavy snowfall. Upslope was cranking today... still spitting flakes but has definitely slowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Who was expecting snow in SNE besides Forky and CT Blizz? Must have missed those posts. Man what a complete pattern flip, some spots in the country had a 90 degree flip, unprecedented for March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Tis the season to not rely on cold long range with snow. The D8-10 mean of both the Euro and the GFS over at PSU EW are about as close to 100% out of phase between 100 and 70W by 35N as one will ever find.

CT Rain Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Did a story today about freeze concerns and the farmers I spoke with in CT say they're about as concerned as they've ever been about tonight's freeze potential. They say most of the fruit trees are a full month ahead of schedule... which is by far the earliest they ever remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 But we get frosts in late April too. Between 4/20 and 4/30 (approx where we are for on growing calendar for fruit trees) the lowest record low at BDL is 25 and highest is 31. 4 hours plus of <25 is what the concern is... plus the typical tricks like spraying or using big fans on a radiational cooling night won't work tonight.

Damage In Tolland Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 There is going to be some major , major crop damage tonight. One that I fear the farmers will never recover from and one that will scar the landscape all summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Any specific types of crops in danger?(apples I assume - start buying applejuice before it is $10 per gallon!) peaches, plums, and apples. Pears to a lesser degree. Peach and plum trees are in full bloom... apples have fully budded but are a couple days away from blooming. I was surprised... I thought we were ahead of schedule but not so far ahead that we'd have problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
