Damage In Tolland

Recommended Posts

Lol it's April. How many severe reports have we ever had in April? Esp early April

2002 had a great event. It was a Sunday. Red Sox played the Blue Jays I believe...had nasty storms during afternoon...saw 1.5" hail in New Britain then more storms came at late evening with tornado warnings...was the best lighting show I saw until 2008

Yeah but that year the summer from 2001 never ended...it was warm straight through till spring 2002, haha.

I bet VT and wrn MA gets some thunder.

 

Yeah I'm mildly worried about it... BTV's got thunderstorms in the forecast.  Its always odd at this time of year when ski area operations coincide with thunder threats.  Hopefully just elevated cloud to cloud lightning...not a huge fan of daytime thunderstorms while sitting on metal chairlifts sticking 3,000+ feet up in the air, lol.

Yeah i mean it would it surprise me that's all. If it were just heavy rain, it wouldn't surprise me either. It's just a possibility and I could see why with that warm push.

 

There's almost 1000 j/kg of MUCAPE surging northeast. On the leading edge of that getting some elevated convection wouldn't surprise me one bit.

The question is how far up in elevation does the snow melt out prior to the freeze on Wednesday morning?  Next couple nights look real mild, like 40s and 50s for lows.  This stuff is pretty ripe but still hanging in there.

 

Where is the snow cover elevation on Wednesday morning?

 

17" this morning at 1,500ft...although no snow left at home aside from a few patches, drifts, and roof fall.  Steep snowpack gradient around 1,000-1,500ft right now.  How high up does that gradient go by the time we freeze mid-week?  2,000-2,500ft?

 

 

 

 

And there's still a solid 2 feet even as low as 1,700ft...which is less than 1,000ft above my bare yard, lol.  That's what's always fascinating this time of year...how different it can look between the different elevations.

 

 

Then just another couple hundred feet higher in the 1800-2000ft area there's like 30" of glacier.

 

 

It keeps increasing rapidly with elevation, all the way up to today's 76" depth at the co-op stake at 3,700ft.

Not sure who advertised what... but I mentioned low clouds/fog/drizzle for SE CT late tomorrow and Monday.

The day could even start out with a couple showers.

All rain seems north. I would have temps in low 70's inland and then tell folks to have jacket as roaring south sea breeze works up to and past BDL mid to late afternoon and turns things from warm to chilly

I'm not worried about a dramatic cool down for inland areas.

 

More concerned about stratus streaming in off Fishers Island Sound.
