I'd love to see that when the icing was schedule to flip to 33 rain yet it's still accreting almost to Kevin's How often is that update - like ..hourly or half hourly ? It actually updates like every 10-15 min. I didn't save a plot from this site for the ice storm, but one of my favorites that I did save was from April 4, 2016 when powder snow was falling right into Logan airport and it was in the 70s south of PHL. Don't typically get a gradient like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s often my issue with graphical sites like that as they often update only on the hour and can be late at that… so they often have decent lag and don’t update the SPECI metars.

Yeah here is the main site. I had linked to the map itself, but you can go to other regions from the main site. It's def nice to have a map that will catch the SPECIs http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 What a mess with this Juneteenth Federal closure. I don’t mind the holiday, but issuing the guidance at 3 PM the afternoon before has caused total pandemonium for anyone supporting Federal agencies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitinsvilleWX Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Speaking of Covid, my company dropped all mask, distancing, and occupancy mandates today, effective immediately for vaxed employees. Unvaxed will have to wear masks and undergo weekly, MANDATORY Covid tests. Honor system. Covid tests are offered twice a week, walk up, onsite, for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great day weatherwise and the crowds weren’t bad being a Thursday. It was maybe 4-5 years since we went last. Very relaxed Covid policy which seems to be the case most places now - I applaud them. Saw 99% of people unmasked. Only saw two adults masked but caught a couple families with adults masks pulled down to their chins but their small children still wearing them. Felt bad for them. Still probably 1 in 100 overall had them on, maybe less? Ya southwick is cool. I want to go back this summer. My kid loved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 23 minutes ago, White Rain said: Its very last minute so no doubt it is causing issues with travel and project work. Still I was thinking its not totally unprecedented. They have announced closures on short notice in the past for many reasons including adverse weather. The weather angle is true, but in those cases they authorize telework for contractors right away as the govt workers are permitted to telework as well. We are dealing with a scenario now where the govt offices are closed and on mandated “holiday” so teleworking for contractors is not always being authorized for this new holiday.

HoarfrostHubb Posted June 18, 2021 Author Share Posted June 18, 2021 Coyotes have been going bonkers near my house the last three nights. And we saw a big bear on Wednesday evening driving back from our daughter’s school. He was hanging in someone’s yard right by the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in coastal towns are not used to seeing them so they're calling 911. He's been ranging between Scituate and Duxbury. Saw yoga pants and he's come back twice now to Duxbury. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
