tamarack Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 21 minutes ago, HoarfrostHubb said: Is it too late to hand out the syllabus with the grading criteria for this course? A big chunk is seasonal snowfall Cold Pack depth Pack retention # of storms. Possibly number of warning events? Extra credit for things like thundersnow, WINDEX events, tornadoes, frost quakes weenie away My grading system rates temps (cold is better) and snowfall, with pack and blockbusters (or lack of same) adding subjectivity. It uses the 4/3/2/1/0 for grades, with +/- adding or subtracting .33, just like when I was in college. A: Best or near best at my location. I've given A++ (5 pt) for snow/cold that breaks records at the Farmington co-op. 3/01, 4/07 (SN), 3/14, 2/15 (temp). B: Significantly better than average C: At/near average D: Significantly worse than average F: Worst or near worst. I gave 12/15 an F- (-0.33 points) for temps as it obliterated Dec warmth records by huge margins. hopefully a quick change to rain wherever you are headed Thanks. However, my homeward drive gains both elevation and latitude, so p-type changes (if any) tend toward the opposite direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feb snow will need more than today's event (unless it really overperforms) to rise above D-level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch Tiger Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 A- thus far, on the obvious strength of the weekend of January 60's and 70's, NNE snow recovery, and relatively snowless February in SNE. But trending towards a B with a crappy finish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then there is the hope that NEXT year it will be better. dr dews is like someone who loves to pull off band-aids. everyone's gotta have their fun. and nothing wrong with a little dose of "get real" counter-propaganda.

tamarack Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 This morning I heard a chickadee singing its "phee-bee" spring song, with temps about zero and snow on the way. Brave little fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that theory and others. Pretty remarkable that our snowiest winters coincide with high populations here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 23 hours ago, OceanStWx said: So we just discovered a -41 at Jackman Saturday morning. Nice fake cold. Speaking of fake cold, this place in Utah called Peter Sinks records some ridiculous cold temperatures. I saw they are -46F this morning. In October (2019) they set the United States record (including Alaska) for coldest temperature ever for that month at -45.5F. Back in 1969 they hit -69F. Quote The tiny valley is ringed by aspen trees and conifers, and it doesn’t look or feel that different than the surrounding mountains. Until you get to the bottom. Down there, the coldest October temperature ever recorded in the United States was measured last Wednesday, and that includes Alaska. “There could be a 40 to 50-degree temperature difference over a few hundred feet as you walk up and down the side of this little depression up there," said Jon Meyer, a climate scientist with the Utah Climate Center. "Nothing would trigger in any sort of thought that this is a really fantastic meteorological place." The spot was recognized as an outlier in 1985 when a Utah State University graduate student measured the temperature on a hunch. He found the second coldest recording in the continental United States, negative 69 degrees Fahrenheit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the lowest recorded temperature in RI and its barely 7 miles from the coast. I lived a half mile from there and you could literally feel the cold as you walked down.
