Isn't that the saying for New England except instead of waiting 5 mins it's "wait 24 hours"?

That phrase probably holds true across all the mid-latitudes. But the folks who live in New England who really aren't in-tune to weather like we are...they think our weather changes quickly...they have no idea lol.

Sneaky cold shot late next week....

The hint I’m seeing is AN 11-15 but showing signs of a chilly start to November.

EPS hinting at cold to end October....out at end of run, so we'll see if it gets closer with time....but chilly Halloween week?

I love New Englands variable climate, but these are the days I miss living in Denver.

Yesterday afternoon they went from 75F, 5mph wind to 51F an hour later with 51 mph winds and gusts to 64... then down to 33F a couple hours after that. Man that would be cool to experience.

I wonder if with less tarmac solar absorption in winter it will be closer to reality....

It depends on what the problem is to begin with....if it's a siting problem like rocks or dark ground recently put in near the ASOS, then yeah, you'd expect to see the effect decrease a bit in winter. But if it's a problem with the actual ASOS temp sensor, then it won't go away.

 

There doesn't seem to be a big change last winter when the problem started....we see a little fluctuation but generally staying consistently terrible compared to mid-2018 and prior. BTW, look at how much of a joke those high temps hae been recently....over 5F too warm now. :lmao:

So everyone knows the temperature is bogus but NWS says oh well?

I dunno....I'm not sure how this would pass any QC into NCDC for climate data....but then again, they used to take goose eggs for ORH snow data, lol.

 

Maybe 2-3F isn't enough for them to care that much....priorities and all. But I suspect if they start doing 5F consistently, then it will be attended to.

When they measure 16 inches of snow at 36 all storm maybe they’ll wake up...

Let’s just start a petition to get NWS to move the official WeatherStation to Boston Common.

I've brought this up before but the City of Boston is taking a survey right now on a master plan for the Common.  If enough people mention having a weather station there, they'd have to look into it:

Here's your chance!

It definitely was an experience! I remember thinking New Englanders were full of crap with "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes" you hear all the time haha. I'll admit though, I like the variability of our climate more overall. Nothing beats a bombed out nor'easter deformation band sitting over your head.

Looks like DIA went from 82F to 19F in 18 hours for a temp change of 63 degrees. That is sick.

That’s insane.  Down to teens with snow after low-80s.

Our weather is pretty stable and tame compared to the rest of the country.
