Re: [cayugabirds-l] Windmap

Thank you Wade and Melissa! Cool site! I like we can see temperatures and 
pressure and other bells and whistles too. Great information.  But only thing I 
did not like is the color combinations. Reds and oranges don't go very well 
with the greens. I have bookmarked the site.


As for the birds, yesterday around 10.30 am while I was driving on rt 70 
towards Elmira, somewhere close to Eddy street in Collegetown, a Raven flew 
over followed by a crow.


All the way to Elmira -Corning airport, I did not see any other birds except a 
few crows here and there. I was hoping to see a shrike or a turkey.


Cheers

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Windmap

Of course you discovered you can zoom in with mouse or fingers on iPad, etc.. 
And if you click the speed scale legend it will cycle to your favorite unit 
(knots, mph, etc.).
And there’s a bit of history you can roll back to on the time line: I just 
dialed up last night’s blow to see how bad it was (30’s MPH).

[cayugabirds-l] Windmap

2015-12-27 Thread Meena Madhav Haribal 
Hi all,

I was looking at the windmap to see where the snow geese would be moving if 
they are and saw this strange line.  http://earth.nullschool.net/#current/

earth :: a global map of wind, weather, and ocean 
conditions
earth.nullschool.net
No news. earth ? Date | Data | Scale | Source | Control | Now « - < - > - » ?

Can anyone ( Dave Nicosia?? Bill Evans??) explain why the winds are forming a 
kind of line across the country (see pictures below) where to the south of it 
the winds are blowing from south to north and to the north of it the winds are 
blowing from north to south? Is this pertaining to the way the front is moving? 
I don't think there is any physical barrier such as mountain range or am I 
wrong?

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Windmap

2015-12-27 Thread Peter 
Hi Meena.
As a Meteorology instructor, I've often seen wind map sites where 
cooler, drier, polar air from the north/northwest meets warmer, moister 
air from the southeast (a "front") but have never seen it depicted like 
the one you've sent.
My best guess is that it IS a frontal boundary between the cooler 
Canadian Air and the warmer, more moist Gulf aira classic 
cold front.
See this site below for future use. In fact, it is now showing such a 
frontal boundary (at 12:12 p.m. on the 27th.)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Peter! Previously I used to use the map link you sent. But the one I 
sent was colorful so I fell in love with this windmap. It is amazing how sharp 
is the demarcation in both versions. I thought it was a front, but as you 
mention I too  have never seen anything so clearly dividing the country. I 
think it is an unusual front.

I would keep watch to see how it changes over time!
