I just mean the airmass in general. Nothing really meaningful. Today will be chilly though. But lasts a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this day and age, I guess that’s cold That’s pretty good for the first week of December. It’s not record breaking or anything but it’s def quite cold. Record low max for ORH today is 18F and tomorrow it’s 21F. They get much lower as you go into mid and late December but early December climo is still relatively mild. Avg high is still 40F at 1,000 foot ORH on Dec 6th. It falls to 33 by late month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea...airmass is blase. Its just that we are so conditioned to warmth in December that its noteworthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early December has been a torch lately. But we have one chilly day and then moderates a bit. The stretch of 30s was pretty good I guess for this time of year and especially lately given how warm recent Decembers have started. But I mean those nasty days with 20s at day and teens at night. It's been a struggle to get below 22-23 or so for non-radiators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 Satellite is funny. Snow covered in RI and bare in SNH in early December. That just about never happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 3 hours ago, WxWatcher007 said: The cold behind that front absolutely underperformed. Only dropped to 27. We’ll see how high I can go today. I know at the end of the day when it comes to forecasting temperatures this does require a bit of effort if you want to be really accurrate and get within a degree or two. I know when I used to do the wxchallenge I used to spend like 30 minutes for the high/low temp Anyways, MOS/NBM have been atrocious the last month...not just here but across a good part of the country. I get they have limitations with specific patterns and such but these products can be downright embarrassing. Forecasting too cold at night when it doesn't get that cold, then when they forecast on the warmer side it ends up much colder. They will underperform on highs plenty of times and then rare times they underperform on highs when it didn't seem like that would be the case. It sucks when you have to solely use these products for temperatures because they're awful really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 You don't see it too much around here but sometimes its a riot seeing what MOS/NBM has for some of the midwestern cities. You can sometimes see like a 15-20F difference in the forecast high or sometimes even the low. Not of course you would divulge into the details and should be able to develop a sense of what to expect but sometimes that along can't be enough if you don't understand the local climate.

Winging_it Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 What I found remarkable about this event was getting 3" in Townsend, which is at the base of the Worcester hills, despite the SW surface wind and its downsloping/warming effects. I can't remember the last time getting this much snow with this synoptic setup. Looks like another such event upcoming Saturday night, albeit less robust. If this winter turns out unremarkable otherwise, I'll remember this event for the rarity it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 Finished the tri-state and SNE maps for this event. The map posted by NWS BOX is way too conservative and ended at 1045AM. These totals should be more accurate and realistic to the final result of the event. Totals from COOP, CoCoRaHs, PNS, NWS 72 hour map, and here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted December 12 Share Posted December 12 It’s absolute crap that in these marginal events I’m .1 higher than West Hartford but when we get real snow they get like 20% higher totals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
