dendrite Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The funny thing is I never even noticed those regional descriptions before so I have no idea who made them. I think climo wise they do make sense (OKX vs BOX), but we'll probably change it back. The NYC forum is essentially NYC metro and SW CT does fall into that zone as well.

ORH_wxman Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Some SW CT posters post in the NYC forum, some post here....we don't force people to post in a particular forum if its grey area. If someone from MArquette MI kept posting their obs in our threads, we'd probably tell them to go to the lakes forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 All measured on a kiteboard. That's all they use in Germany. Every family owns a kiteboard specifically used for snowfall measurement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The current 37.3F is also the high for the day. I hope the 40s don't blow through until after midnight so I can steal an only slightly above normal day out of today. The mean temp is only 32F (37/27). We spiked up here 7F in the last 2.5 hrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Your the minority here, most would rather have small amounts of snow that constantly get washed away rather than no snow at all, or so I have been told. i agree, that's why i said 1 10 inch snowfall. i want the ground covered in white all month, if you'd rather have the ground cover'd in white for 3 days but get 2 10 inch snowfalls, we agree to disagree on snowpack vs snowfall. no biggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 lol well i guess we'd have to define "warm and wet" i'm talking about today was warm and wet. no ski area would want that if were talking about +5 departures and 100% of normal snow, then that is different. I'm talking warm temperatures and way below normal snow (above normal qpf in the form of rain) . i think if its' frigid outside people would assume their is snow in ski land. It would be quite rare, impossible for NNE to have a warm and rainy winter. Warm and wet here means snow there. Even for here, it means at least elevated blue bombs.

ORH_wxman Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 We used to have some interior N NJ posters in our obs threads during the SWFEs in '07-'08...since they actually gaves us a bit of perspective on where the mix line was. We don't force people where to post. We have subforums so general areas can post together. But there are times when cross-regional posting is totally relevant...and times where posters who live near the lines prefer to post in one forum or another. That happens a lot between the Philly and NYC forums too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking warm temperatures and way below normal snow (above normal qpf in the form of rain) . i think if its' frigid outside people would assume their is snow in ski land. I know a certain ski resort employee who would take their chances with 200% of normal QPF over a -6F month with 30% QPF. Every single time we have a "wet" winter relative to normal, we will come out with a lot of snow. You forget that we can still snow a lot in a +4F month. Of course I'd rather have cold and dry if it's going to be warm and rainy...that's not really an argument. But high moisture anomalies is very good for here in most cases.
