About this Station

Terrain in vicinity of the station is flat and rather marshy. To the

northwest are ridges oriented roughly in a south-southwest to

north-northeast direction. They rise to an elevation of about 200 feet

at 4.5 to 5 miles and to 500 to 600 feet at 7 to 8 miles. All winds

between west-northwest and north-northwest are downslope and therefore

are subject to some adiabatic temperature increase. This effect is

evident in the rapid improvement which normally occurs with shift of

wind to westerly, following a coastal storm or frontal passage. The

drying effect of the downslope winds accounts for the relatively few

local thunderstorms occurring at the station, compared to areas to the

west. Easterly winds, particularly southeasterly, moderate the

temperature because of the influence of the Atlantic Ocean.

Temperature falls of 5 to l5 degrees, depending on the season, are not

uncommon when the wind backs from southwesterly to southeasterly.

Periods of very hot weather, lasting as long as a week, are associated

with a west-southwest air flow which has a long trajectory over land.

Extremes of cold are related to rapidly moving outbreaks of cold air

traveling southeastward from the Hudson Bay region. Temperatures of zero

or below occur in one winter out of four, but are much more common

several miles to the west of the station. Average dates of the last

occurrence in spring and the first occurrence in autumn of temperatures

as low as 32 degrees are in mid-April and the end of October or early

November. Areas to the west of the station experience a growing season

at least a month shorter than that at the airport.

A considerable amount of precipitation is realized from the Northeasters

of the Atlantic coast. These storms, more typical of the fall and

winter, generally last for a period of two days and commonly produce

between 1 and 2 inches of precipitation. Storms producing 4 inches or

more of snow occur from two to five times a winter. Snowstorms producing

8 inches or more have occurred in about one-half the winters. As many as

three such storms have been experienced in one winter. The frequency and

intensity of snow storms and the duration of snow cover increase

dramatically within a few miles to the west of the station.
