Baroclinic Zone Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Euro has like a gale for Phil on Sunday night, lol. What the hell is that. There is a piece of energy that rounds the base of the ULL that looks to spawn a weak SLP off the coast. Maybe overdone but it's plausible. Looks like a repeat on Tues.

powderfreak Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 lol...yeah, I'd say that's big hill. It helps the closer the hill is and lower the sun angle. Yeah its funny, I love watching it on the mesonet... the locations to the west of RT 100 will drop quickly in the evening (like up to 15F cooler) than the spots on the east side of RT 100 which are still out in the sun. Of course it all evens out by morning, but its funny to watch during that time when some areas are in the shadow of Mansfield and others are still seeing sun. On October 1st I'm trying to move to a new location closer to Mansfield so I'll get more snow but less sunshine Sitting at 1,000ft in the narrow river valley only a couple miles from the Spine, the sun will set here pretty early in the winter with big terrain immediately to the west.

powderfreak Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 75/68 in Woodstock, CT... nice evening and doesn't feel as humid as the dew would indicate. Quite comfortable with all the windows and sliding glass doors open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 ahhhhhhhhhh Nice, pretty flat, thought it was LI sound at first. Hope you are having fun. Enjoy the dry 70 s upon your return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I also want to say that it won't be an all day rain....possibly a break in the aftn. Part of me thinks the euro may be too far east, but we'll see. It's showers in the morning..cloudy midday..sun by 3:00-4:00 Yeah Steve, it's not easy. My guess is part of the aftn will be ok. FIngers crossed for the aftn Steve. Morning may be trouble. Thanks guys much appreciated. Looks like squeegees, brooms and rakes are in order in the AM, just hope no training cells set up over IJD tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NoPoles Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Sounds fun...should be chilly on top. I'm not in that kind of shape right now...hah I'm doing a 1600' ascent in the Catskills on Monday (Windham High Peak ..summit is 3500'), but that is my limit right now. oh, that sounds fun! i've never hiked in the Catskills...they are beautiful though!

CapturedNature Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 holy smokes, that's AWESOME! when i lived out west i hiked a couple of 13'ers and 14'ers...it makes me lol that when i get to the top of Mt Washington, i'm still not as high as the town i lived in, in NV...Ely, NV sits at about 6500ft which is about the valley floor... I remember thinking something similar when I was at Logan Pass in Glacier NP...you're higher than Mt Washington but still below treeline. The opposite happens in the southern apps where you're at almost 6700' and you're still not near treeline. Don't forget that even though you're only at 6288' that the vertical rise is over 4,000' which is the same as many mountains out west. Having hiked some of the 14ers I know that the elevation plays a different role in getting up but if you were to blindfold someone and take then to the top of Pikes Peak or Mt Washington, chances are without any identifying landmarks that they look the same, which they do. They are both treeless piles of rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Well that was over the course of quite a few years. The six remaining ones ate bushwhacks..thick foliage, etc. to get through, but maybe I'll do them eventually. I did the Chisos Mtns in southwest TX to around 8500', but you start at maybe 6500'. holy smokes, that's AWESOME! when i lived out west i hiked a couple of 13'ers and 14'ers...it makes me lol that when i get to the top of Mt Washington, i'm still not as high as the town i lived in, in NV...Ely, NV sits at about 6500ft which is about the valley floor...

Logan11 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Everythings relative. Last Fall I was in Snowdonia, Wales. Mount Snowdon is only around 3500 feet, but pretty impressive rising right off the Irish Sea. I remember thinking something similar when I was at Logan Pass in Glacier NP...you're higher than Mt Washington but still below treeline.

powderfreak Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Good news is that we are on the downswing towards winter...each day we get closer to the promised land and this week should be nice and fall-like. TORCH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 We had a nice period of heavy rain move through here with 0.85" in about 1/2 hour along with vivid lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Gonna miss these 70 degree dews we have tonight the next few days..but at least we know they come back later next week posted in the NNE thread already...i'm hiking Mt Washingtoon tomorrow...total last minute decision...i'm sure everyone already has plans...but i'd thought i would throw it out there in case any of you were interested in joining the hike... Enjoy--post some pictures!

Good luck with that possible move, Scott. Glad you have the climate priorities in mind as you look at relocation. Good news is that we are on the downswing towards winter...each day we get closer to the promised land and this week should be nice and fall-like. TORCH!

CoastalWx Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Steve, probably can get out there after 10am or so. Not much kick to these showers either. Would think aftn sun is possible too down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Another 0.2" thus far today. A hair under 5" now for the month. Nice, Bob. I've pretty quietly amassed 3.08" here. Quiet that is except for the loud thunder/lightning from 3 (?) nights ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
