weathafella Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 A record is a record. True. But it hurts my spinning into saying I was right...lol. How anyone can enjoy dews in the 70s without being in the water is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Gotta wonder if the Typhoon in the far east moving west and not recurving is the reason why long range is now looking toasty as we end July and head into August. We'll see what happens. Long range has hinted at that for a while but it never has materialized except seasonal levels. After mid-August "toasty" takes on a different meaning and that's only a month away now. I hope you're spending extra time outdoors enjoying the high dp's. Extra special this morning! Hopefully we get some good cells later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I expect a pattern change. Usually something as anomalous as this great lakes low brings a new airmass or setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 When was the last really warm beginning of August? 2011 was pretty warm at least for the 1st week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Overcast and cool with temps in the 60s does it out there. Heck we do that every summer...lol. A record is still a record...if its easy to get high temps in the 60s, then why would it be a record low max? edit: already saw Brian basically said the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like Gefs tries to develop another GL trough in the long range. Maybe euro ens develop a toaster oven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewbeer Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Was up in NH this weekend...and took this at the top of MWN....still some surviving snow into mid-July. AMC Lakes of the Clouds hut at the right side of the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Was up in NH this weekend...and took this at the top of MWN....still some surviving snow into mid-July. Is that two patches or is one of them a pond? Edit: I just looked at some other images, both of those might be bodies of water. The one on the right definitely is...that's the Lake of the Clouds. Maine jayhawk would know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Is that two patches or is one of them a pond? I thought they were both ponds at first and only the smaller patch much further to the upper left was snow...but when we zoomed in it looked like all three of them were snow. I'm not sure which it is...except that the upper left patch was definitely snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 2011 was pretty warm at least for the 1st week. Except for the 2010 heat spell late August/early Sept, nearly all my high temp records for August thru about Sept 10 are from 1999, 2001, and 2002.

I'm not sure which it is...except that the upper left patch was definitely snow. Yeah that upper left one is hard to tell, but there does seem to also be a pond in that area, too, in several photos, just to the right of that path. Who knows... I'm just surprised because I know people who would ski that in July (even if its the size of a ping pong table) and I haven't heard of any patches of snow besides crumbling chunks in Tucks. No one is more anal about patches of snow than die hard eastern skiers looking to make turns in as many months as possible. There are forums that monitor this stuff, lol, like TimeForTuckermans.

LakesOfTheClouds1.jpg Yeah that pic shows it well....those two bottom are def lakes. The upper left one def appears to be a pond too now, though its much smaller in your pics than when we saw it. I wonder if it was surrounded by some snow or something. (these lakes are fed by snowmelt and ice melt afterall) I did see some small snow patches still in tuckerman's from the bottom,but I didn't get a good pic of it. I wish you could see it from the top.

Yeah I agree, that other pond looks a lot smaller than what your pic has. Tuckermans is amazing for snow preservation with how deep it fills in there. MWN on the whole though is quite the New England treasure...it's always a treat to go up there. Truly a different world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I wonder how much higher MWN would have to be in order to have year round snowcover/glaciers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I wonder how much higher MWN would have to be in order to have year round snowcover/glaciers. I bet around 9,000ft in New England could do it...I'm thinking of the Pacific NW elevations that have year-round snow, except those spots get like 600" of paste/snow per year too. The Rockies in Montana I think have a couple spots with year-round snow up in that 8,000-10,000ft elevation, and that's a similar latitude. I think you'd need to take like 10-15F off of MWN's summer temperatures to do it...which with normal lapse rates would require another 2-3kft of elevation.

They already get suckerholed because of the Whites now, throw another couple of thousand feet on the Whites and they'd be a virtual desert.
