And I thought I get excited but he takes it to a new level lol. It must be getting cold aloft if the Berks are seeing frozen and we have decently developed floating flakes....the upslope lift must finally be getting into better snow growth as these flakes have no business falling with this surface temp. It's like classic upslope dendrite flurries and light snow. I guess -6C to -8C at H85 could do it with the snow production between H85 and H7.

There are some random instability type showers out there but it's 37° at 1900' in Peru: http://www.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?ID=ENX&type=N0R I'm hoping that some of these stick around later when temps are cooler at lower elevations.

ORH_wxman Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Yeah Norfolk is up on a hill... tough to radiate up there. Yeah the record low temps are so much about radiating. Looking at first freeze data on a statewide basis wouldn't give you a very accurate inidication of the climate zones if you didn't have any elevated valley locations...you'd assume Norfolk, CT isn't that cold, lol.

CapturedNature Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 You should put a sensor at my house to prove Scooter and Will wrong about their doubts on my temps and accusations of me lying I'd have to hide it or it might wind up in a freezer at some point lol. These are little USB stick devices that log the temperature and when you recover the data it will tell you want the temperature was at a given date/time. It's not real time. Anyway, it's just a weenie idea I have to find the coldest spot in our neck of the woods. As we mentioned earlier, Boston Hollow, Yale Forest and Bigelow Pond are cold spots in Northeastern Connecticut. I was looking around Bigelow Hollow the other day when I thought about this. There's also a couple of other spots in Stafford and Union that I know radiate pretty well. Here's a topo map link to Bigelow Hollow and Boston Hollow for folks who aren't familiar with these areas topography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Its funny seeing records like August 31, 1965 as earliest freeze at Taunton, MA coop. That is nearly 3 weeks earlier than the first freeze at ORH airport...though the older coop site that could radiate a bit better had earlier in September...but still no August. Those real primo spots have some shockingly early dates...even in areas you wouldn't expect at first glance like SE MA. Yeah...CON radiated like mad on that day too for their earliest 32F and 20s. 8/30 at midnight it fell to 32F and a handful of hours later the low for 8/31 was 29F. 20s in August is impressive.edit: I'm wrong on that. The 32F on 8/30 was during the morning...so it was 2 <= 32F mornings in a row in August...damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and don't think temps matter at the surface...I've got car tops turning white in a squall at 42 degrees right now under 1000ft. And for Pete, if it's 37F in Peru no doubt it's snowing.

ORH_wxman Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 There's almost a little mini-squall line entering NW ORH county right now...definitely some graupel/mangled flakes in there I suspect above 1,000 feet...though it would have to come down good. Temps are still in the upper 40s for the most part. Its probably graupel at those temps...even in the mid 40s. Hard to get pure snow above 40F but its not impossible. Usually its a mix of rain/snow/grapul above 40F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
