Friday is probably the most impactful day to be honest… everyone focused on Sat AM. Friday afternoon and evening looks brutal with wind. Yeah people will be out and about on Friday afternoon…they’ll go into work thinking it’s cold but bearable..and then leave in ranging CAA with brutal temps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there’s something about wind when each time it blows, it’s colder than it was. The opposite of the normal diurnal curve and region wide 15-20F drop during the day should be jarring.

Mid-20s BOS suburbs morning commute, near 0F evening commute? Yeah, I was thinking about that earlier. People are going to be caught off guard by the combination of wind and cold coming out of work etc Friday. Out for a few drinks or dinner after work and then walking out into ULLR's wrath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXWX Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 8 minutes ago, STILL N OF PIKE said: Looking forward to the mass schools canceling Friday - I’m guessing it’ll happen At least in CT, my advice has been no need for cancelling or delaying. Friday will start out a a pretty "normal" bitter cold morning with temps in the teens so there is no need delay. In a normal winter we would usually experience quite a few mornings like Friday. There should be no concern for buses not starting. Also the vast majority of students do not walk so the potential for any widespread issues after school during the afternoon as the temps fall and wind chills ramp is limited. Email Notices always go out about proper clothing for families with walkers. If Saturday was a school day there would likely be consideration for delays. Unless we are dealing with a true Wind Chill Warning with chill numbers minus 20 or lower cancellations are hard to sell... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Yeah that HRRR output is going for historic type readings. It might be just a meso weenieing out too much but you kind of have to at least consider it after that 18z euro run got -36 850 temps to the pike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seems remarkable but I definitely recall other cold snaps where we went from single digits to rain in a day or two. That's the worst, going from frostbite to cutter.

(be prepared) I guess it has, We did winter camp in adverse conditions to learn survival techniques, This era and generation is soft. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouts is "Be Prepared" and nowadays Cub Scouts is "Do Your Best" Greenfield is one of the few towns in MA that still have a decent size Scout program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
