Damage In Tolland Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 You get some good severe in NNE. Think about it though... cold snowy winters and then hot , humid summers with lightning and canes. For a lover of extreme wx events like I am..it's ideal ..it's the opposite of what 99% of the population does..and it's perfect for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL in the summer is brutal unless you are in the water the whole time. Yes the storms are cool...but not worth the heat. You would have loved it when I was there during Erin in '95. Severe storms, gusts to near hurricane force, and tornado warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Typical dankness of early spring. Long day of travel starting with a flight to JFK around 6 and then the 11 hour sojourne just before midnight. I expect modest leaf out upon my return in 2 weeks.safe journey my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I've noticed over the years that this area is always one of the last to scour out low clouds and fog. It happens a lot in the spring and summer when all other spots are sunny. Any ideas why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolland Death Band Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Winter's in NH and spring/summers in FL. Lol. You can wave out the window of your Southwest flight to all the normal NH residents going in the opposite direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its stupid and I know others could care less, but man it happens almost everytime there's low clouds and fog. It's great in the winter but warm season it's very maddening. The fog has lifted now but still thick low clouds and 37.7..I mean look at the viz sat.. WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Well what you describe is more of a warmer season deal. If you have low clouds and fog hanging tough in the winter...that is the opposite of what you want.

tamarack Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The May 1977 event is the first specific snow event I recall Close to a foot in Foxboro, big power outages. The only earlier specific weather I remember was that hot Saturday in 1975? August 2, 1975. Along with July 3, 1966 in NNJ, the hottest days I've experienced. Hot Saturday included 100 at water's edge in BHB. It's out at day 10-11, but gfs has a pretty strong flood showing up in our part of the world - several days of 50s-60s then a 3" rain event. Hoping it's as wrong as 10th day models usually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 NAM has temps near 70F Tuesday with even a iso tstm risk in central areas. Friday this next week may be IN the 70's if the blend of most guidance verifies... +8 to +11C, from south to north, with deep layered continental off-shore flow in warm sector. Low RH flags full sun, and thus maximization of heating potential when considering the former parameters. That day's warmth has been in the runs for many cycles, actually.

Typhoon Tip Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Looks like we eek out a nice one for Monday (day after tomorrow).. Light west wind veering S at Logan during the 12z through 18z period of the morning and early afternoon, with less that 50% RH at 500 and 700mb respectively, signals waif warmth under mostly sunny conditions. ...all the while, a wall of cloud and rain is approaching up the East Coast associated with that failing trough amplitude that's been in the runs, and teleconnected... That's what makes that interesting. An erstwhile huge PNA spike while the NAO initiated a mode change toward positive could have been a lot more productive than a progressive L/W with embedded S/W, wave interference. Such that it is, we get a low passing west and enough so that we may actually warm sector, in stead of a cooperating wave dynamic and commitment to the coast. Hell, that day may actually need "humid" as a partial descriptor. IN any event, a deeper trough could have resulted more east-SE carve, ...etc etc... nope. Not this time. And, at this point, the diabatic annihilation of cold on the continental scale is detectable from run to run, if perhaps incrementally. It was probably also a feed-back in modulating this week's overall deportment toward milder, compared to when it was first suggested back whence extended in range. And seeing the extended character of the operational runs, compounded by teleconnectors, and the noted shortening wave lengths, I am willing to bet that for the vaster majority of folks, you've seen your last snow until next autumn/winter.

powderfreak Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 One of these days I'll skin up Mansfield to the 4k picnic tables, lay there and see what the magic is all about. That magic is everywhere in New England at 4,000ft....you just need to get up to that elevation . But in all honesty it's cool how every mountain area in the NE has it's advantages for something. Up this way it's definitely the upslope/orographic card, being a Spine leads to more focused lift and it can be anything from SVR storms blowing up when they hit the mountains or the winter fluff. Then in Maine and NH they have the CAD and more snow in SWFE, as well as a better chance for big ticket synoptic snows, even if their snowfall frequency is lower. I can see where Blizz comes from though with winters in NNE and summer in Florida...though I detest heat and I went to a wedding in August in Florida and that was eye-opening. It's cool to experience but I couldn't do that all summer long. I love having it drop into the 50s and 40s every night in the NNE mountain valleys in the summer, while the days are in the 70s/80s...along with more abundant thunderstorms either terrain initiated convection or just better jet dynamics are usually further north. The worst spot for exciting weather would be the SW US without a doubt, unless you like fires haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
