Bostonseminole Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have to say that as a relatively new member here - lurker from jan last winter to a new posting member this winter, it's posts like this one that can be intimidating to someone new on the board. You're questioning that person's subjective feelings about how they are treated. There aren't any quotes that can support such an assertion since it's entirely subjective. Irregardless of that, I think this is an outstanding group of well informed enthusiasts and generally welcoming to new members (you included ray don't mean to pick on you by pulling out this quote). From a fellow newbie to the other newbies/lurkers don't be intimidated by the regular group of posters that seem like a clique they just have a weird way of welcoming us newbies but they mean no harm. Just refrain from IMBY posts and try to add substance to the discussion if you feel the need to post. Two newbie questions of my own. 1. Got a gift card to B&N for xmas and looking for a good intro book that is accessible (ie not too technical) in order to learn some of the met basics. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php?/topic/6849-favorite-weather-books/page__pid__213292#entry213292 2. Can someone link me to the site that has a layout of all the area temps - i lost the bookmark on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 It's really cool to see you...then a 14 year old kid.....and always a nice boy....now as a TV met after having spent some academic time. Brian Monahan posts on the subforums from FL...he was wxcentral. Remember PSUPete...he was in HS...had a different name that I can't remember.....people always gave him sh*t about his snow measurements. MDFwx is someone I lost track of but kept in touch with for a long time. Marcus and Randy used to post with us then...Randy's name was DCscrewed for awhile during some pretty bleak winters for many of us. The night before the 1/25/00 with messenger (then Scottne) at his best with wxcentral while DT,LC, and many others were slapping them around was a classic. And they verified! Yeah it's been a blast. I learned a ton in the mid/late 90s from you guys. I went to college with Pete and Brian so I've known them for a while. I wondered about mfdwx too... haven't heard from him in a while. Remember Jared from Sharon too? he went to LSC and was on air for a while in BGM but got out of the biz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yea, the lower spots away from the immediate shorline and urban centers (mby) really benefit from that. Even looking at mesonet near my locale, some spots are still in the lower 40's.....times like this are when it pays to be at only 111'. Yeah the temp dropped when I left the city. I couldn't believe how much snow those areas down there had. Time to reload.....hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 i was at the common today and they hardly had any snow left.. most of it gone from Fanuei Hall, then drove back to Burlington and still have most of my snow left.. now hoping to build on it over the next few weeks Case en point: Wx bug 2 miles to my se, atop the middle school is 42.5\37.......my station, at ground level imby reads 36.9\36 I have a feeling locales like mine may spike up for a brief time right when the front approaches, as we mix out and then the fall recommences at a more uniform pace.

It started this afternoon. Very weird ground fog that developed over the snowpack. Down in Hanover it was 39 when I left and could not see more than 100yds. Once I got to Braintree...basically to a more urban environment, it spiked to 47. Every river, including the Shawsheen up by Wilmington had pea soup fog that extended no more than about 30' up. Very shallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
