But working at a ski area, it has to be crazy to continue “winter” operations into August. It's going to be like Tuckermans.

You will be blown away with power of instant torque. Going on 18 months now and love this car. With the electricity rates going down it is much less costly to drive and great in the snow. Other than tire rotation not a penny of maintenance. Electric has down sides but like you said we have to start somewhere, especially for those who like snowy winters Lol.

Snowblower, car, truck, motorcycle if yes then SU As noted elsewhere, it's the noise. I think leaf blowers are the loudest one-person tools out there, probably 15 decibels above my snowblower and louder than a modern chainsaw. Of course, I won't even use the roaring air hand driers in public bathrooms - not only are they about 90 decibels (a guess) but they're in an echo chamber. (Disclosure: Our nearest neighbor is 500 feet away and no one else is within 1/4 mile, so no exposure to the blowers at home.) Also, in terms of GHG the (non-electric or hybrid) cars and trucks are worse, but for hydrocarbons and NOX those small motors are far more polluting. Raking is overrated… Leaf cleanup is in fact overrated. I don't rake leaves from the lawn, but the side yard gets a 6" layer of (mostly) maple leaves, so I free up the hostas and lily-of-the-valley, and gain nutrients and organic material for the garden, also mulch for when I overwinter carrots. Everything in its proper place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 1025 am update... made modest tweaks to the grids based on latest radar/satellite trends and the initial output from the newest hi-res CAMs. SPC has increased the threat level for severe weather to the Slight category across western portions of southern New England. Looks reasonable, and in typical New England style, nothing is clear cut for how things are going to unfold. Certainly, as previous shift indicated, good signals for instability, shear and even low level helicity. The latest CAMs are all similar in that they show a broken line of convection to develop but otherwise they are all over the place in timing and location. FV3 came in more agressive than NAM3km and the recent HRRR runs. Perhaps it`s on to something given we already have convective development in western CT at this time. Also some suggestion we have one batch of convection early/mid afternoon, with a second line developing later in the afternoon and getting into western sections after 6pm. In any case, as is typical with convection, we are just going to have to roll with the punches and respond to whatever Mother Nature decides to give us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Satellite does look favorable for some clearing very shortly, but with these high theta-e/low capped airmasses that can always change very quickly. Shear is certainly sufficient and instability isn't bad, though lapse rates are kinda meh but not as bad as usual. There is good 3km CAPE and LCL's are on the lower side. All about getting a mature enough updraft to develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Watching the color drain out of the echoes as they approach (and slide to the NW of here). Everything is still moist, but the trend may be moving to dry here, based on the most recent precip chances. The warned severe storm on 7/7 slides south, we get a rumble and 0.11", VT floods and 3/4" here, last weekend's 'widespread 2-3" with some 5-7"' brings 1.1" and Tuesday's flash flood and severe TS warning produces 2 distant rumbles and 20 drops. When forecasts consistently over- or underperform, it's usually the start of a trend. If/when my 2011 Ranger dies (and if I can afford it) I'd like to move to the hybrid Maverick. However, I'm not interested in all-electric unless: --Rates back down instead of leaping by 50%. --Service interruptions are greatly reduced. Not sure how well recharge would work on genny power. --Grandkids live <200 miles away instead of >500. --I never again need to drive when it's minus 20.

weatherwiz Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Watch possible Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 211620Z - 211745Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Storm coverage will increase this afternoon, with some threat for damaging wind, isolated hail, and possibly a tornado. Watch issuance is possible. DISCUSSION...In the wake of a weakening convective band now moving across northern New England, showers have developed across parts of western CT/MA, with convection recently becoming sufficiently deep to support lightning across southwest CT. An increase in storm coverage is expected into this afternoon from southeast NY into parts of New England, as a jet maximum moves through the base of the base of the upper-level trough, and related large-scale ascent spreads over the region. Diurnal heating of a moist low-level environment will support continued destabilization this afternoon, with MLCAPE potentially increasing to the 1000-1500 J/kg range. Meanwhile, moderate midlevel flow will support effective shear in the 30-40 kt range, sufficient for organized clusters and perhaps a few marginal supercells. Some damaging-wind threat is expected to evolve as storms mature, especially where stronger heating and steepening of low-level lapse rates can occur this afternoon. Midlevel lapse rates are generally weak across the region, but buoyancy will be sufficient to support an isolated hail threat with any sustained supercells. Also, surface winds may remain locally backed across parts of New England, to the east of a surface trough across eastern NY. This may support sufficient low-level shear/SRH for a brief tornado threat. While the magnitude of the severe threat may remain somewhat limited across the region, coverage of organized storms may become sufficient for watch issuance this afternoon. ..Dean/Hart.. 07/21/2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
