ORH_wxman Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That's a bummer! I remember when the Mass Pike rest areas were mostly (or all) HoJo's Restaurants. Good memories of our trips out to the Cape in the 70's. You may be too young to recall that.... Yeah I don't remember that...most of the MA pike restaurants were Roy Rogers when I was younger.

Logan11 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That makes some sense because Marriott Corp. bought the HoJo's chain and Roy Rogers was also a Marriott restaurant. The ones on the MA Pike were probably company run. I'm a former Roy Rogers employee...circa late 80's. LOL Yeah I don't remember that...most of the MA pike restaurants were Roy Rogers when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Low of 59F here in the flatlands. Wait, I thought Blizz said all of SNE would be seeing overnight lows in the 80's? How could you have cooled off so much more than he forecast? Why does your temp show 82 currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Ok, hope everyone gets out and has a blast today. Looks like a continued stratch of great weather with daily highs in the 70's to near 80 and overnight lows in the 40's and lower 50's. Couldn't be much sweeter unless it was snowing. Take advantage of the non-torch weather we are experiencing. The rest of the nation is roasting, those poor folks down in the MA, how they stand the high heat of Summer and the no snow Winters I'll never understand. Have a great one, heavy, heavy recreating incoming. GET AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER, GET OUTSIDE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 AWT...quick return to the heat/humidity we've had all month THOUGH SUBTROPICAL RIDGING POKING WESTWARD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC AND NORTHEAST SHOULD LEAD TO A RETURN OF HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE 90S BY THAT TIME.

And where did you pull that from? MtHolly? Here is BOX's. .LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...HIGHLIGHTS... * LOOKS TO BE DRY OR AT LEAST MOSTLY DRY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PERIOD NO PARTICULAR PERIOD OF FOCUS FOR THE LONGER RANGE. REASONABLY GOOD CONSISTENCY AMONG THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS FOR THIS PERIOD WITH RESPECT TO THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. BROAD TROUGH OVER REGION ALOFT AND WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRES COMBINE FOR WHAT LOOKS LIKE A RELATIVELY BENIGN PERIOD. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO BE FOCUSED ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY WELL S OF THE AREA. A LOW PRESSURE CENTER IS FORECAST BY THE GFS TO DEVELOP SOUTH OF NANTUCKET LATE THU AND FRI...PASSING WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION. IT MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH HOWEVER TO BRING A DECENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND PERHAPS A PORTION OF RHODE ISLAND FOR A TIME LATE THU AND FRI. NORTHEAST WINDS COULD HOLD TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THESE COASTAL AREAS. OTHERWISE...925 MB TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO HOLD STEADY TUE-THU... THEN INCREASE SUBSTANTIALLY FRI AND SAT...TO 25C IN NORTHERN MA AND SOUTHERN NH. SO...EXPECTING HIGHS IN THE 80S MOST OF THE WEEK...REACHING INTO THE LOWER 90S BY SAT EXCEPT LOWER IN SOUTHEAST MA. GRADIENT IS LIGHT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SEA BREEZES ALONG BOTH COASTS AT LEAST TUE AND WED. THE GFS AND ECMWF DO PRODUCE A SMATTERING OF 0.01-0.10 INCH QPF AMOUNTS IN PORTIONS OF CT/WESTERN MA TUE AND WED AFTERNOONS AND THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE CAPE...BUT CANNOT SEE MORE THAN AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TSTM.

Damage In Tolland Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 4 of the last 6 days have features lows that have had a greater + departure than highs for BOS. Only one day July 1st had a high above 90. It's no wonder temps don't seem to be that bad since nobody feels that uncomfortable with temps near 70 at night. Temps in the 80s just are not a big deal. BOS avg high of 81 is a product of location. I'm sure areas just inland are less in the + departure. Not trying to spin it, just saying how it is. I do think my call near +2 could be in trouble especially since overnight lows will kill BOS without onshore flow. Above normal is above normal..no matter how it's acheived. Nighttime lows have torched everyone..Looks like a torch, smells like a torch..it's a torch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighttime lows have torched everyone..Looks like a torch, smells like a torch..it's a torch That's a good way of justifying a torch. Bootleg Gibbs would say. All the days have been in the 80s except the 1st. better check in the pets and elderly. Temps near 70 are not torch. Yes it is above normal but that is a weak sauce argument to validate your torch.
