moneypitmike Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 We've got a 60' maple--not especially old, but tall. Two summers ago, I noticed that it was beginning to split along the trunk line. At first, just a fault-line which has grown into an increasingly widening crack you can see through. I'm wondering if today might be the day to actually complete the split. Will give me a head start on firewood for coming seasons in any case.

ROOSTA Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 BOX's progged low 20's are doable here I think. We might eek out a scrape of 20.0 since it's 17.0* and it's still only 11:00a.m. Might not, too, but if they miss, it won't be by yards. Speaking of yards, I bet it's easy to get a Pats ticket today! I would go if they happen to avail themselves. Today is the second day in a row that the HIGH was achieved at midnight. That's def. a first. Wind is freshening!

moneypitmike Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Monsoon. It does show Kevin's second wave. Don't know if there's anything to it. 17.4/3. Nice to see the dews keeping as low as they are. Should call cool off nicely later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 You guys should have a thread devoted to the mid week rain/wind event. I thought this would be discussing the fact that it's approaching the highest sun-angle time of day for this time of year, and it is less than 20F at ORH with no snow pack.

moneypitmike Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Tell tale sign that we are undergoing intense cold air advection when the temp has continued downward as we approach mid day.... For you folks in the east. Out here it's been trending (slowly) upward. 18.1/3 Don't look now, two of the four Tolland stations are now over 20*. I hope Kevin can stay below 20.0 for his AWT. I think he refers to the Leela Way one as akin to his backyard which is 3* cooler than the Birch Drive one he said today is in a totally weenie spot of town.

40/70 Benchmark Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Yep the NAM succumbed to one bombing phased low. The flip to snow is in Upstate NY.....here or especially west of here. On the NAM that is... 925 mb temps never exceed 0C from about Utica to SLK. Great time to be in the Tug.....LES and heavy synoptic implications.

jamesnichols1989 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I think BUF and SYR can win out with the synoptic snow and LES. Winds gust past 40mph, making Wednesday a living traffic nightmare with blowing snow. I think we can get a white Thanksgiving in BUF. Wind damage appears plausible given the strength of the low level jet forecasted by several models. I think our first real snowstorm threat comes with the return of December to our neck of the woods. Once that calendar reads December 1st we turn into mid winter and have several snow threats, especially with the STJ starting to get it's act together according to the EURO, but timing is everything with the polar jet and sub tropical jet streams in this split flow regime.

jamesnichols1989 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Today's 12z run of the GFS has actually jumped ship on the two lows front and has actually gone towards the NAM in regards to a singular area of low pressure. Damaging wind threat appears plausible if the singular low pressure system can materialize itself in future runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 This will be my 2nd coldest Nov max temp since moving here. #1 was 23.0F on 11/22/08. That date is actually my coldest November max in 29 years with a max of 25° here. That just goes to show how impressive it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 18F at 11am on Nov 24th....that is impressive. Lowest max on record in the month of November is 20F...which may have been challenged sans the midnight high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I just spent some time in the woods with the dog. She was extraordinarily energetic...a winter weenie amongst dogs for sure. Deep winter feel. Hiking through wooded areas hearing the wind roar through the trees walking on a deep carpet of fallen oak leaves. A magical time and I'm quite thankful at my stage in life I have the vigor to enjoy it. And don't forget... Long....live....winter!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
