Allenson Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Yeah, this was right by the VAST parking lot. I've seen them while snowmobiling. At least then you are much loser to the ground and can hope to go under them ! LOL, I was just wondering if you 'bilers ever encountered them out on the trail. My guess was 'yes'.

dendrite Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Tonight has been coming in cooler and cooler on MOS, but Mon morn may prevail as the cooler morning. MOS has a freeze at HIE for both mornings with the coolest being the MET Mon AM with 29F. It gets BML down to 29F as well. They should be near a lock for their first freezes imo. CON and LEB could be frosty as well, but I think I'll have to wait a little longer here. Maybe I'll at least get a little ice on the truck.

powderfreak Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 LOL, I was just wondering if you 'bilers ever encountered them out on the trail. My guess was 'yes'. And us skiers run into them too... last year was the second time I've skied up on one. A couple years back I came across a young one and mother, saw them downhill with enough lead time to get them a wide berth. Last year I had the joy of skiing down while the thing crashed through the woods alongside me..."all I wanted to do was pet it..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Looks chilly tonight but I'm not sold here... BTV has issued frost/freeze warnings for the spots that are climatologically a step colder than there (NE VT and Adirondacks). This area down towards Montpelier and the RT 100 corridor south along the Greens in ski country is very prone to fog and it sounds like they expect fog to limit the extent of frost in VT. BTV's forecast minimum temperatures tonight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to go to Walmart today and buy some gloves and stuff. And the very next day the forecast is for 63F and sunny...which would be amazing. At least I'll get the full Mt Washington experience?

dendrite Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 What do the ECWMF ensembles say in the 11-15 day? The Greenland blocking breaks down by d15...we keep some ridging into W Canada and weak troughing through the Great Lakes up into Hudson bay, but the flow is less meridional than the d10 mean. Some of that is the nature of an ens mean smoothing the flow out more with time, but there's probably some truth to flattening the flow a bit more. Maybe the -NAO is being broken down a bit too early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 met program. Leaving at 5:30am. I remember them postponing it before for (ironically) weather. Hopefully everyone knows what to expect tomorrow above the treeline. 8am temp at the summit should be in the 20s with winds around 50mph. I'm sure there will be at least one dumbass in shorts and sandals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to it though. Originally on Monday the forecast was 38/57 for Sunday. I checked everyday and it got worse and worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 36F with 50 mph winds. Though he was hiking with the wind to his back at that particular point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Are you hiking Mt. Washington tomorrow? I was going to with everyone, but our AMS president decided against it because MWN is gonna be 38F with winds 50-60..aka not good for hiking. He said he emailed your president about it last night.

powderfreak Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I wasn't home last night (in the Champlain Valley for a wedding) but it looks like MVL hit 36F last night... so we may have been close to some patchy frost low to the ground in spots.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Ryan (weatherMA) better be careful on MWN today. 0.4" snow this morning and temps near 30F with winds gusting to 80.

Meanwhile it got down to 35F here even with the cloudiness we had at 1AM when I went to bed. 80mph gusts and icy rocks ... I'd skip it. Probably take pics of the summit from the Lakes of the Clouds hut instead and maybe tool around Monroe and Franklin if the footing was good.

And no offense to college kids (I was one recently) but you know there are a few that showed up completely unprepared...like shorts and a t-shirt with crocs or something, like they were going for a walk on a paved path in the valley at 70F.
