CapturedNature Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It dropped into the mid 30s here this morning, so maybe near freezing by tomorrow morning? I think we're good. It was 34° at my place this morning so I'd expect upper 20s are possible tonight. Once the sun dips below the horizon, you'll see temps plummet.

CT Rain Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Wonder if Ryan or Wiz saw the moose in West Hartford. Was there a moose here??? I didn't see that. Got down to 38 here last night. Planning on planting some annuals and other stuff tomorrow... keeping everything inside tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 There's been off an on snow obs out in the higher terrain to your west too like ELZ and BFD. I'm hoping some of those heavier echoes off to the west move over me. If so, we might get a full blown snow/graupel shower. That would be pretty wild for 5/13.

Damage In Tolland Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think I'll hit 35 or so . No lower than that. Looking forward to 60's tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be pretty wild for 5/13. I haven't seen snow here in May since 2005 when we had some graupel/mangled flakes in one of those cold pool aloft type airmasses not too dissimilar to today. Its not all that common anyway...esp east of the Berks. We had a trace in May of 1996 and also May 1994..I remember both of those. The 1994 event actually stuck a bit but wasnt enough to be measurable. Then you have to go back to May 1986 (a measurable event at 0.3") Of course, we had the accumulating snow in May of 2002 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 It was a perfect day off for tons of yard work, gardens ready for planting after the full moon.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yeah, seems like we're typically a good radiating spot? I'm thinking the low tonight here will be 30-31F, similar to last week's freeze. Storrs may be down to 30F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey2002 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 That area is hilly. I would think you drop off to 32-33 or so MetHerb is right down the road, just a couple miles from here... our readings are usually similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Best shot at records would be CON and BDL for the major climo sites. BDL's record is 32F and CON's is 26F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 My neighbor has all of his summer delicates planted, ie tomato, eggplant and zucchini. We talked about the frost/freeze potential and he is going to cover up the garden tonight. I live in a bit of a hollow here and we tend to get alot of frost formation.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It's a bit more than two weeks until the start of Meteorological Summer and Fairbanks, Alaska is at 28F at noon with a plethora of WSW and WWA for that region. Here in the lower 48 there are extensive frost and freeze advisories covering 12 states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he said he has some higher hills on each side of his location. Yeah, you could say that. I'm in a flat area on the side of hill in the center of town that tops out at 850' but we're surrounded by hills further out over 1000'. The center of town is around 450' so it's a bit of a bowl. Here's a map giving an overview of the terrain: https://maps.google.com/?ll=41.95215,-72.302828&spn=0.036193,0.055189&t=p&z=14 This is an older map but gives better detail: http://broermapsonline.org/online/NorthAmerica/UnitedStates/NewEngland/Connecticut/USGS03/staffordspringsctn1-316801952.html I think there's a hill between us and we both live on opposite sides, so slightly lower elevation, but still around 650-700ft. lol, yeah, we're directly opposite each other. You're on the hill to my south and I'm on the hill to your north. I see where you live (generally) when I'm coming down my hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
