J.Spin Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I read an article in the Free Press about this wireless on the commuter buses from Montpelier/Waterbury... the first thing I thought of was now J.Spin can post observations on his trip home, haha. A colleague here at UVM alerted me to that article, so I'd actually checked a couple of weeks back, but it wasn't until the past few days that I checked again and finally picked up a signal. It's going to be another great option for providing quick weather observations, but it's also a huge plus in terms of the efficiency of getting work done and staying in contact with colleagues while in transit. I'm also very excited that they mentioned the plans for integrating GPS units into the busses. I've been wanting that for a while, because it's always frustrating to head down to catch the bus, only to have to stand and wait for 20 minutes because it's late. If they provide online access to the GPS tracking, I could get another 20 minutes of work done instead of wasting that time waiting around. On the weather front, that type of system would really be great for those snowy days when the busses might be running behind schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Better chance at some snow with round 2 it seems..... Yup. CAR now seems confident that we will see some significant snow up this way sometime Sunday into Monday night. It will be interesting to see how far south the heavier precip will get.

eekuasepinniW Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 OK everyone who asked should be on the mesomap now. Also- I have absolutely no idea why it's suddenly plotting temps 5-10 miles further ESE than things should be. I never touched the lat/lon settings in VWS or edited the original base map. Some stations are still in the right places... makes me wonder if wunderground itself made a change to the PWS data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Spin Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I just stopped in at the BTV NWS site and noticed that our area is under a winter weather advisory from 4 PM tomorrow through 7 PM Sunday. Our location is right at the south end of the 6 inch zone in the accumulations maps, but that’s substantially more than our point and click would suggest, so we’ll have to see how elevation plays into it.

Allenson Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hey dudes--just finding this place today. I literally googled "what happened to eastern us wx?" http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101112120210AAe2QTU Anyway--had some snow on the ground at the house last weekend courtesy of the ice from last week and the wicked snow squall we had on Saturday....but alas, the heavy rains of this Wednesday past put a quick end to that. Word for the weekend: retrograde. Squall from last weekend: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 What a boring stretch of weather coming up. Lots of clouds, cold, windy and a few flurries from time to time. Damn downsloping!! I have only had 1" or so of snow this season so far. I don't keep weather records but with an average snowfall of over 85" this is getting pretty unusual to go this far into the season with next to nothing to show for it. Need to move the house about 75 miles northwest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hey dudes--just finding this place today. Hey! I had been asking about you and wondering if there was anyway we could get in touch with you when things switched over. Glad you found it and look forward to your observations again. -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 It's almost trending toward moderate snow I'd guess. Grill cover analysis reveals snow accumulating. Unfortunately, this "heavy" band is just about through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 If we could only get it to snow like this for about 10 or 12 hours I think we'd all be happy. Rippin' damn nice. Hope it holds together for the NH peeps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Here's BTV's local WRF model... here's 24 hour QPF from 18z SAT to 18z SUN... 1.01" at Jay Peak, and .75-1.00" over Mount Mansfield/Stowe Ski Resort. If this is anywhere close to correct we could be in double digit snowfall by the end of the weekend at the ski resorts. I'd be looking at a good shot of snow down here in the village, too.

wxeyeNH Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 0Z NAM says it never gets to me right in the middle of the state. 18Z GFS was slightly more bullish. Whatever falls will stick as we are below freezing at 31.3F but I can't believe I am getting excited for a dusting of snow and it's December!
