ORH_wxman Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Not many have the resources and QC of Blue Hill, not to mention the greatest non missing day historical data of any first order station but then again no one believed the 186 gust either. Measuring atop that mound is not easy. You will introduce more error than usual with the type of wind they get up there. Places sheltered from the wind up there still have the same bias introduced because of blow-over effect. (akin to saying near your house is sheltered, so it's accurate, but in reality, the house blocking the wind will created different inaccuracies, such as roof blow-off, or shadowing, etc) I'm not saying they are wrong, but I do this type of thing ALL the time...looking over snow data and QCing it....and it's a bit more complex up there than you are implying.

dendrite Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 WOW IEMBot BOX @iembot_box 2m 2 minutes agoWindsor Locks, CT HARTFORD/BRADLEY,CT (BDL) ASOS reports gust of 50.0 knots (57.5 mph) from NW @ 2035Z Nice. Not sure if it'll be widespread 55mph+, but it's definitely verifying a little stronger than I thought. I was leaning toward widespread 45mph with a spot 50mph. There's pretty good mixing with the initial frontal passage. Those gusts won't last all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These NW wind events always seem to over perform in Morch as you get more mixing. I'd wager we do this all over again Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no reason for me to expect them to be over 22" difference prior to the other day. It's simply doing the math. But hey, I know they are prestigious and blah blah blah.

dendrite Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 30.4F and pretty cold with the wind. Quite a turnaround from a few hours ago in CON. I'm just glad we're clearing out, but the Kp will probably crash by sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No, he thought they overestimated from time to time.To be fair, you did say you missed some measurements at home due to work. That could account for a few inches. Plus you are in a pretty windy area? And they have 600' of el on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also can go by my recollection of radar and PNS reports. Just does not pass the smell test, but I'll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you are in a pretty windy area? And they have 600' of el on you they had a nice depth pic of 46 that looked even, undrifted and a new record. They also had 11 going into Jan so that is double what Scot had, add a couple of missed measurements, elevation events, a couple of windex events and there is really not much of a difference, 20 inches over 5 months is really nothing. I myself believe Scott undermeasured and if he had the resources to measure every 6 hours his real total would probably be in the 140 range. And yes w/e do tell a huge story.

Whineminster Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Is it me, or has it been snowing in northern/eastern Maine for days? I feel like I've been looking at the same radar loop for days on end up there. ULL still hanging around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
