Mr Torchey Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Really? Could have fooled me--most of the folks around here consider the area New England....at least in my daily interactions with folks. Sure looks like New England too with the numerous rock walls and early colonial architecture. - And BTW-SW CT (especially 10 miles inland) gets more snow that a good chunk of SE CT and Southern RI. Should those 2 areas also be removed from New England? Downtown village, town green, architecture, massive hardwood trees, beaches, two universities, quaint downtown, numerous open spaces, some of the most historic landmarks in all of New England dating back to the Revolutionary War time when Fairfield was burned to the ground by the Limeys...........it all screams NYC.........LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 damn. torch not muted. lol. I actually don't mind occasional warm weather this time of year. Even good winters around here do occasionally torch, well besides 76-77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even good winters around here do occasionally torch, well besides 76-77. December torches are alot more common than some people think around here. 2002 had a good one too before the Christmas Nor' Easter...and that was 3rd coldest winter on record at BOS since 1950. A lot of people probably don't remember the pre-Christmas 2004 torch either. When the winter ends up cold/snowy overall, the torches seem to fade in memory. When the winter sucks, they always seem to stand out (or if its early in the season and weenies are panicking because they haven't had 24" of snow by 12/5 and/or a KU isn't forecast by the models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I had 19 inches of snow that month with 4 events in the heart of the cold, was a sweet full on winter second half of the month. Yeah you were the northern extent...maybe PVD. Pike northeast frigid but dray in January 2004. The cold wqs spectacular but the snow would have been way better. If I got your totals I'd be comparing it to 1993-94 probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's like an alternate reality universe. If I read only this site for weather today - which is what I did, I figured it was going to be cool and raw tonight. All the talk of muted torches etc. It's approaching 55-60 in much of the area at 1020. Torch win. BRADLEY INTL CLOUDY 56 53 90 S12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 you were pissed at me that winter,. The origination of the term South of Pike winter. You were ready to move to NWRI. P I left early from a family vacation concocting some work related excuse. The progs were severe and the airline waived the change fees. In the end it snowed all day ....about 1.5 inches...south got buried (NYC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snywx 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. Try being in our shoes here in the Mid- HV. We average close to double of NYC yet most of us fall into Uptons CWA. As a matter of fact 99% of the posters in the HV live within 10-15 mins of 4 CWAs lol smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Its amazing how much flatter the NAM is with the entire flow over the west/central US...not that extrapolating the 84h NAM is of much use, but you wonder if other guidance will trend that way. Its a remarkable difference...even compared to the already-flatter-than-the-Euro GFS solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavisStraight Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Id rather get any torches out of the way now at the beginning of the month rather than the end of the month while we have some snow on the ground, hopefully if we get snow towards the end of the month it stays cold.
