I don't either. I think it would really help clean up this place and drive some of the trolls away. I'm not sure what I did wrong today?

 

If I started 5ppding trolls you'd be the first to fall victim. Let's move on and stop talking about this here. If any of you have anything left to say to one another take it to PM.

I didn't do anything except post my temp. Some various posters and mods challenged it as always, including you. Then one poster got upset and started swearing.

Fair enough...but you went fishing with your comment about Coventry being a "magical place" because of an ob he posted, and made it sound skeptical because it was 53F at 1000ft in Tolland.

All he said was it was 50F at his house and some of us looked at area obs and it made sense that it could be 50F. I also posted it was a day with large variations due to cloud cover vs sun, so you could be 53F too at that same time.

Perhaps that how you interpreted it, but that wasn't my intention. Anyway case closed. Kevin banned. Board better place. Frost and freezes tonight

We all need to get a little better and clean up the banter. But like Ryan said, enough for now.

What's up with all of the controlling people trying to limit the discussion in the "banter" thread...what a weird place this is.

 

5 post threats "we all need to do this and that",  ugh.  Control -freaks!

Probably because banter should stay in the banter thread. Its not that difficult.

 

If people would keep on topic about weather on a weatherboard and limit the trolling, it wouldn't be a problem.

High temp in the low 50s and breezy... hard to believe it's mid May.  :shiver:

 

What's the over-under on how cold it'll get tonight??

 

 

If you are in a good rad spot, then good chance you get near freezing. Otherwise mid to upper 30s with probably closer to 40 in the urban centers like BOS.

I just had some snow/graupel flurries. At first I thought it was more of those cottonwood seeds, but no, it was definitely frozen precipitation upon closer inspection. I wonder if there's a METAR code for a cottonwood seed/snow mix. ;)

 

It's been 98% overcast all day with readings stuck in the mid 40s. As such, I don't think I'll reach 50° F today. Tonight will be cold, but I'm not sure if we'll radiate that well given the clouds and wind.

It dropped into the mid 30s here this morning, so maybe near freezing by tomorrow morning?
