CT Rain Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well your area on the water never accumulates well Maxon with a big FU for Mt Tolland... 3-5" here.. 1-3" for Kevin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Messenger when does the UKMET come out? Or has it already come out? Already out nips the Cape. That's 2-3 runs of consistency, for my dollar that's better than the rest until proven wrong. I'd think t-2"/2-4 is a safe bet from ACK to about the canal. Will look to the 18z for a final call. Plenty of time to adjust back off/call of school, head to the fallout shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian5671 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well your area on the water never accumulates well that's true (Except for 12/26!) and our town has schools open, but the rest of the state as of right now doesnt have anything even falling at 11:30am--why would you close for that?!?!

snowman21 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Can't they just delete it from the records? If a thermometer was reading 20 degrees hotter than every other surrounding location, they'd dismiss it as broken, and you wouldn't find it in the history books. Some QC is well warranted here. BOX can request a change be made, but really NCDC is the official record keeper of climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutmegfriar Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 They all do it. 12/13/07 wasn't in issue bc all the schools were closed or closed early the issue was commuters leaving work. For the past 5 or 6 years they'll close for any accumulation over an inch or two during the day. Worried about lawsuits. If they were so worried about lawsuits, why don't they insist that the bus companies install seatbelts? Sorry for the OT post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't do early dismissal of school up here, Either its canceled or there in school for the day, Early dismissal creates to many problems with kids being home with no supervision.......

radarman Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 BOX can request a change be made, but really NCDC is the official record keeper of climate. Fair enough, but I'm guessing NCDC relies on the local FO's to help them identify bad data. I suppose they might have an algorithm that searches for discontinuities and flags suspicious measurements, but without local confirmation it's pretty hard to make that algorithm work well. Heat bursts, or some freak upslope location might appear to be discontinuous but actually be correct. In any case, if all they can do is request a change be made, they might as well do it, unless they just don't think it's that important. I'm curious if 14" would be a daily record for Hartford, and if so, they probably should do something. (maybe since it was between the 26th and 27th though, no records were affected?)

ROOSTA Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 What do you expect for SNH? Don't you read, or just ask questions? Throw out a number because your guess will be as good as any. 0-8" Nowcast would be the operative. Impossible to nail !!! ---------------------------------- I'm liking the on-deck system. Good ole SW'er (pack of energy) riding up the coast. Well atleast with some model consistancy. I'll take my 4" from this ClusterFluck and more on.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks messenger, how strong is the SLP? Didn't look! Just looking aloft, it's fairly consistent. It's the same old race, this time the nose of the energy coming around the PV scoots a little east instead of wrapping up tight so we get a jump further e than the last run. It's 36 hours out...but we kind of have to favor the group. With the amount of change every six hours I have very little confidence. The NAM is out to lunch. The RGEM/GFS probably have the best idea of a bigger low close enough to make it interesting. GGEM is in, if I had to draw a QPF map with all the uncertainty this would be it. There's time for it to shove north but it almost feels like we've passed the point of that happening and maybe now we're seeing the subtle drift. Ensembles will be interesting.

Ginx snewx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah it was a garbage measurement but nothing the NWS can really do. Oh well. They probably had 8" or something.
