A few degrees cooler (37 vs 40) but full sun makes the difference. oh i'm pretty sure we're bustin' mos ... about to go look. but once past the perennial solar min 90 days ...which duh ... that's typically going to happen folks should go out there - sun's hot. straight up ah, maybe not... I guess it's a 'sensible bust' ...if that makes sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 It is blindingly bright out there. Fresh snow last night and full sun...it's honestly hard to be outside without sunglasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The melt out has been pretty slow considering the sun onslaught, as we get a fair bit of exposure. These shots are from this evening. Still holding onto full cover under the pines and spruces for another day. The front yard has lost a fair bit already from the solar radiation. Exactly how it looks here. A solid 6-9” Otg even in sun. It’ll all be gone Friday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 We still have quite a bit here too. Going slower than I thought. Shade still had 12” yesterday. But it’s tough to find grass unless it’s a sloped south facing surface. Even my sunny part of the yard is virtually all covered except for a small patch. Your traditional wooded or tree lined yard is gonna take awhile in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianW Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 My solar panels rocked the last 2 days producing almost 30 kwh. I had to go back to Mid Sep 2018 for the last time I hit 30 or even came close. So I am guessing the equivalent sun angle is close to sept? Half my panels were locked in ice/snow the last week so my production was cut in half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's entirely legit - that's not what I mean.. But, usually ... you wouldn't see monolithic totals a mere 50 miles from nothing, like you see demarcating the Capital District of eastern NYS from that western arc of the shield. It just seems like that storm had ( much to the vitriol of the covenant, no doubt!) some actual spring taint involved with it. Like it was nucleus'ed around a deep dynamic core, which is typical of spring storms.. . But, at the same time ... not really. Because there was bone chilling cold that got inserted into the core of that thing where it was snowing prolifically... There was legit winter-based cold involved too. I almost wonder ... hmm... I think it is possible that the storms thermal profile was more glopped above a low level arrival of cold that got ingested. Such that it snowed from an "elevated" blue bomb down into a llv arctic insertion of air.. . Is that what they mean in the write up when they talk about warmer temps into NNE and up to Montreal (30 ish) while to the south teens and 0s?

Lol, I’ve had calls from Tesla every month since November asking me if my WiFi hookup is working since they aren’t registering anything.

Missing 30 kwh days in CT were the electricity is literally the most expensive in the lower 48 they are worth cleaning off. On good sunny days I can produce $10-15+ a day in power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 WTF is also up with the MOS X/N outputs? Been kinda odd lately. For MEM tomorrow MAV/MET spitting out a 79/76 yet the highest 3-hr readings are 75/71. I know it's always a bit higher, but jeeze that's a bit much.

dendrite Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Clouds will probably screw up this warmup. They're streaming in here now and it has only gotten up to 36F so far. Maybe some filtered solar will help trap some heat back in while letting the shortwave rad through. Dews are pretty low (12F) so there's plenty of evapo cooling at the surface. It's tough to melt much snow with dews so low. Thu-Sat will be a decent melt with dews getting up into the 40s, but we'll probably still come out of this with plenty of pack. Hopefully the ground can somewhat thaw to let the excess water soak in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low of 1F up here... when I left for work at 5am my car had like 4F in the driveway. By the time I got to 1,500ft it was 20F. Low level fake cold that felt really cold and annoying this morning walking outside to that. If we get any clearing at night with the deep pack intact, it just plummets. Any excuse possible to get as annoyingly cold as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
