dendrite Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 @OceanStWx What do you know about with those old COOP sites that were tagged with using a nonstandard thermometer? I’ve seen it on a few forms before. I was looking at some 12/1933 data for that cold shot and noticed Dixville Notch reported a weenie -52°. Just curious about what they could’ve been using to get the scarlet A. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, let's bring back the umlaut in Coos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then high -35 low -40 the following day. No surprise considering prohibition ended a few weeks earlier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Robins are fairly common in New England in the winter. They could be part of a large group who stayed over or ones from further north that migrated south to here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch Tiger Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I saw a grey spotted ? heron (i think it's called) in Harvard MA a few months ago. Only around ~800k in north america iirc. Thing was at least 2.5-3 feet tall, impressive 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious about what they could’ve been using to get the scarlet A. Probably not far off. Berlin was -41F and Pittsburg, New Hampshire was -44F on the same date. The mean temperature for the month at Pittsburg was 10.0F, just 0.7F warmer than the Dixville Notch observation. Bloomfield, Vermont reached -50F on the same date, which is the all-time record low for the State of Vermont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, that might be the reason for the flag, not any equipment problem. It looks like the high and low were simply transposed on the 28th, but you can tell the observer was not properly resetting the instruments at a fixed time each day. Which unfortunately may have divested a legitimate state record, considering the Vermont state record was set on the same date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they much different looking than great blue heron? We see those pretty often. Flying dinosaurs. We go kayaking in Royalston and they like to inhabit a river that flows into there. As we paddle up the river, they watch us, wondering if we taste good... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstronomyEnjoyer Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Yikes, looks like it was a midair collision. That's never good... edit* and apparently one of the aircraft was a CRJ700. Might be considerable loss of life unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
