KamuSnow Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 For ground level flowers, snow may insulate, but that probably won't help trees, which will likely not be encased more than half (if that much). Of course, tree flowers tend to be more tender than ground level flowers anyway. Yeah, I know, I was just having a snow weenie moment. Just saying that if it's going to be cold enough to cause damage to plants, etc., might as well have some snow to go with it. Anything we can do at this point to keep the temperature up a few degrees the next couple of nights? Got some warmth built up in the top layer of soil now available.

Yeah I meant to say no accumulation as the snow laid to the west of me and the east yet precipitation shield broke up in between oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah I meant to say no accumulation as the snow laid to the west of me and the east yet precipitation shield broke up in between oh well It also apparently laid to the north and south of here, but like you said, oh well, I'd rather miss out in April if it has to happen. Did see it snow though which I'm happy about otherwise I would have come in here this morning and feel like I missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Widespread frost and 28.1 in NW Chesco, almost a degee colder than yesterday. Hydrangea bush is fried. Thinking any frost tonight will be minimal with increased cloudiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 29 for a low temp in Spring Mount, PA. Could be the last sub-30 low temp until autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctilucent Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 29.6 was our overnight low here. So it goes in the books as 30. It had BETTER be our last sub-30 low before November!!!! BTW...anybody looking at the BAROMETER ? It's 30.68 here.....up near southeastern Maine it's 30.85! That is one serious anti-cyclone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wederwarrior Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Could this year's persistent polar vortex (ie great winter totals in the east) be connected to noctilucent clouds in Antarctica? Had to share this video, its worth the watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW...anybody looking at the BAROMETER ? It's 30.68 here.....up near southeastern Maine it's 30.85! That is one serious anti-cyclone.... Ray, I was astounded by that pressure reading, until I saw this.... The highest barometric pressure ever recorded on Earth was 32.01 inches, measured in Agata, U.S.S.R., on December 31, 1968. Agata is located in northern Siberia. I know there are some documented negative effects of low barometric pressure (increased pain/swelling)....I wonder what the negative physical effects of very high barometric pressure would be.

noctilucent Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Could this year's persistent polar vortex (ie great winter totals in the east) be connected to noctilucent clouds in Antarctica? That was interesting (not just because it involved my screen name!)....I had a hard enough time understanding trophospheric teleconnections and then we had stratospheric teleconnections, like stratospheric warming/cooling and it's effect on our weather. Now we are seeing these teleconnections, at least statistically, out in the mesosphere. If they can reliably observe and detect these changes, I wonder how positive an effect it would have on forecasting...and I'm still not sure whether they covered the sequence of these teleconnections. Was it something going on in the mesosphere/thermosphere or even above, that triggered the displacement of the polar vortex...or vice-versa?
