CoastalWx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 LOL. The summer discussion is just riveting. I'll have my shawls at the ready. This year, I'll be moving the 'summer office' from the deck to pool-side. I hope I don't need to buy a stronger router... We are all going to crash the pit pool. Wiz will be the one that looks like a water rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of the Pit pool, we'll be putting the decking and fencing in once we have the thaw. In the meantime, we have just one of the orange mesh fences going around the thing. If we do get a good storm, the fence might get buried. Hopefully, it's frozen underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the worst part is they seem to be fatal or very serious I think the worst stretch is Route 1 from Freeport to Bath. That's a great median to park in. I suspect John (me photog) might agree.

OceanStWx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 This board gets unreadable in the summer. Hopefully it drizzles until July 4th. If we get a crappy spring (relative to typically crappy springs) I might lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If we get a crappy spring (relative to typically crappy springs) I might lose it. Well kidding around, but if we have another summer of 30 days straight of 70+ dews with distant lightning all to show for it, I may lose it. We have had an awful stretch.

moneypitmike Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 If we get a crappy spring (relative to typically crappy springs) I might lose it. I hated spring when I lived up in Bath. By far the worst time of year on the mid-coast. Just fast-forward from late March until Memorial Day. We had some land up in Bethel back then. Driving up there, we'd be in the sunny upper 70's. Get back home to a foggy 53*. Just sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately watering is a big deal since half my yard had ledge just below the topsoil. I'm in an area of hills where the glaciers decided to drop their load. In fact, one of the largest free standing boulders in New England is down the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue hills...all the way down the coast is all glacial load. The soil sucks as a result, but kind of cool geology. A lot of granite is mined here too.

It's terrible. And there is something worse about being at the office and knowing it's 75/45 at places like IZG and LCI, while you're 42/42 and drizzle. Bethel is in a good location there, most days the sea breeze just tickles them. Until we got a powerful radar up here I don't think people really had a clue just how far west that thing gets.

I should say nobody enjoys working them. They are just harder than dealing with individual storms. You can see where hail, or wind, or tornadoes should be. Flash floods you drop a bunch of liquid and the storm moves on, then you just trust it's happening. We also get zero reporting on it. Other offices it's more of a regular occurrence (think Phoenix or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other offices it's more of a regular occurrence (think Phoenix or something). I know you have to consider terrain and urban environment but seems like its more of a experience deal right? For instance you know a 55 + DBZ cell sitting over the same area for even 10 minutes will cause FF. Is there a criteria? I feel like that's one of those warnings where it's ok to have a bit of a higher false alarm rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
