I guess I'm wondering about the relative mixing power of sunlight vs rain/snow! Although I suppose when you have clouds and NO precip, that's probably the worst for mixing, so it makes sense.

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Wind sucks. I hate it. I might hate it even more than heat. Useless, worthless, annoyance. Running on maybe 1 hours of interrupted sleep thanks to this **** show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 uh oh. Sun is coming out. Boundary layer mixing is gonna supercharge those monster gusts. At least the storm is not deepening any more, should be about maxed out by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interstate Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I had a backyard full of trees. I will tell you one thing, it is pretty impressive how they can respond to these winds. It is a scary sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physically, it sucked. The entire plane (including the cabin staff) gave the pilots a standing ovation once we were on the ground and the pilots stood there and gave and received hugs from everyone as we deplaned.
