weatherwiz Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Winter wouldn't be bad if it didn't get dark out at like 4:00. The only time it's awesome is when it's snowing. Having it 5:00 PM and dark with heavy snow falling....hopefully can experience that this winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I'd make a move towards BDL but I think that is going to end up south of there and its getting dark anyways...boooooooo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love winter, but other than my personal weenie-ness, not a whole lot made lol. Except for my son I guess. He’s a big weenie now. I agree, most good memories are in summer but my love for cold/snow gets me through the winter more easily than most people I know. Most people I know hate the winter snow and cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but when I looked about an hour ago almost none of the models were showing the activity making it very deep into CT - which is why they only have the watch to about Bridgeport. But of course even the best models are sometimes wrong, so we will see. It does look impressive now, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on whether the updrafts are interfering with each other. I would think the inflow is favoring updrafts not being perturbed so that's why you have multiple cells within this cluster really going to town. However, at some point if outflow becomes dominant it will choke off inflow into the entire thing and it will weaken. This is what perhaps the HRRR is getting at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 30 minutes ago, powderfreak said: Interesting way to frame it. It’s true, though most of my friends and family memories are skiing. Without that though, winter would be a real tough season to put up with the never ending darkness and clouds. Summer is a vibe like you said. Winter is more like waiting for a singular weather event that may or may not happen. And of course it’s all subjective. There is no right or wrong answer. I get skiing there being a season of memories. Hell maybe it happens for my kids too. We all BS and I do too. It’s probably a regional thing too as I said, I’m biased. I have the ocean a few miles away. I also remember what you said and that the skiing peeps sometimes hang surf side with the waves. I totally love and respect that. I honestly wish I could do that lol. But when I look back and remember the times we had, summer is where it’s at.I have some great shots in big storms with the kids, but they just remember summer. My son is a weenie and he still talks about the big blizzard in Jan 22 and the rocktober storm in 2021 lol. He actually has Phil Swift “now that’s a lot of damage” as his screen saver. Lmao. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Quick half inch of water to keep things damp. Fantastic lightning show, very loud boomers and frequent. Only problem is the dog hates it. It does storm when the dew is over 60F. 63/62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
