Even a month ago I'd hit the road at like 4:45 and it was already light out. Now it's pitch black out..Sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Drive the hills of Tolland at 5:00am any morning and you' ll see a smiling weenie running along . Ill even wave lol, thanks for the offer. Almost every jogger I say that to says that but every jogger I pass has that gasping look on their face. You pass a hiker and they'll invariably smile at you.

joey2002 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Looks like my low will be 46°. Even IJD made it down to the 40s but BDL...I have no idea what happened there. How about that 45° at CEF? Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what happened at BDL... only 54? Even HFD, HVN, and GON were cooler, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Does anyone know if MT. Whitney in Cali gets good snows in the winter? I have a friend who just hiked it last week and she said they told her it doesn't snow much there . That's not correct is it? I hiked it in 1982. It was August and there is are glaciers above 12000 feet lol. It snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what happened at BDL... only 54? Even HFD, HVN, and GON were cooler, lol. It looks based on the obs that BDL had trouble going calm. IJD, CEF, and HFD all managed to get calm for at least 4-5 hours. BDL only had a calm obs at 09z and 11z/12z...interrupted in between by wind at 10z. Most of the others went calm after 06z until sunrise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was August and there were glaciers above 12000 feet lol. After a fropa we had periods of light snow. It snows. Mt weather can be pretty spectacular. A friend of mine was up over 10K feet on some summit in Colorado and told of clouds developing around them, and over them, and it getting rather dark. Boom. Lighting from all directions, as they ran to a cabin adjacent some parking lot. Then within just 2 minutes, it was grappling very heavy with more lighting and loud booms, then just a moment or two later, a weird mix of what looked like snow, grapple and hail, then the sun came back out and the booms echoed away as the storm moved off. It was like 4 season in 7 minutes. Basically what he was describing is life inside the top half of a CB - ha. And it really doesn't matter if it's summer or not.

powderfreak Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I must have been looking at 05-06. http://patrol.mammothmountain.com/MMSA-SnowSummary70-Current.htm Look at 2010-2011...660" with almost 200" in December and 174" in March. Those are huge months when you are near 200" in 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are dew-point hourly lows from CT (prior to 12z)...based on these and clear skies, light winds, it's not a surprise many outlying areas fell into the 40's: DXR: 45 OXC: 45 MMK: 47 IJD: 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 So much for the heat on last night's euro. Pretty much 80s or a 90F tickle a day or two and then we work a fropa through d8-9 like the ens have been advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Bummed that I was on the Cape and missed two sub-70* days at the Pit with respective hights of 69.0 and 65.7. I guess my string of sub 80's will come to an end at some point next week. If I can hold out through August 21, I will have managed a full month near the height of summer missing that mark. I miss 80* a lot, but never a string that long I don't think. Pretty remarkable even if I don't go the full month. To MVY today, back to the pit tomorrow. 54.6/50 at the Pit.
