Last 7pm sunset until mid-March for roughly I-90 corridor…

CPC going with it

.70" 2 - 4............. I am starting to believe that the strong El Nino is beginning to affect atmospherics.

Missed the afternoon stuff but got a very isolated morning downpour. .17” on the day and about .90” for the month. This is the first time all summer that my lawn looks stressed. I don’t know why it’s so difficult to get a good grass seed season around here.

The Farmington co-op reached an incredible pack of 84" after getting 43" from the late Feb 1969 endless snowstorm. (For 48 years that was Maine's tallest, until Chimney Pond reached 94" in 2017.) Second place is 56", recorded in both 1971 and 1993. In that latter winter, they had only a trace on the ground at their Jan 31 obs - 7 AM at that time. Feb-Mar brought a total of 97", with Feb storms of 13", 14" and 17" followed by a 15" dump and 18" from the superstorm, to build all 56" in just 6 weeks. The 12" storm early in April capped the season.

I worked at a Price Chopper supermarket at the time and the sales that week were recording breaking for the time and store. The cops had to be called that Friday night before it started for two jabronies fighting over the last loaf of bread.

That's a 2std -PDO pattern.. obviously continues to hold the crown as correlation leader in the N. Pacific.

Thanks for posting that.. basically net neutral from 30-90N, same story.

What are you forecasting for the rest of the month into October?

Hope it's wrong, as we're entering typically one of the best times of the year weather-wise. 12z GFS pushes next week's rain out by mid-week so hopefully that one is right than the constant stream of rain/gloomy weather the Euro is showing.

Bring it

Hey warmininistas.....today is a small price to pay for what's on the way Sunday and beyond

I'll take the under on a warm Christmas. There really aren't enough examples to be so confident in it. This is true for Super Nino's general.

This October watch to see if US goes colder or not. El Nino's are historically cold in Oct. Pac pattern in Oct is pretty connected to the Winter.

On the first day of torchmas my true love gave to me, a +5 c anomaly

Picked up 0.74 Monthly total now up to 2.59 The wettest month now - since May

I lived in Bristol CT at the time we r had a solid foot of pretty dense snow before 1.5 inches of sleet and then a quick but wild burst of 2.5 inches on the backside giving us 16 inches. The backside snows were not widespread, we just got lucky in central and I think western CT had it too. But we had no snow on the ground prior. I will never forget the wind on the backside of that thing that Sunday with gusts over 50 mph bright sunshine and mid afternoon temperatures in the low teens.

A few La Nina/-QBO's had crazy N. Pacific blocks in December.. >+200dm. That would be a wildcard for Dec, a monster N. Pacific low, if the PDO wasn't going against it so hard and recent patterns.

1.14” this morning, currently raining steady again .20” so far.

I think you are paying too much attention to one part - ENSO. ENSO's propagation to the northern latitudes are 2nd and 3rd effects. Sometimes patterns set up in the mid latitudes. A greater El Nino response than 2015 is crazy imo. DJFM had nearly -120dm in the N. Pacific. We have not seen that like at all in 11 years, this record El Nino summmer included.

Idk man, isnt that the most typical outcome here? 80s and 90s were no different in that department. Plenty of punting in the majority of those winters. If anything, the best 10-15 year stretch in my lifetime was 02-03 thru 2015-16 and there was plenty of stench mixed in between the truly good years. Feast or famine and lots of boring stretches is the MA base state for as long as I've been alive lol. Even the 70s werent mind blowing in the snow dept. Deep cold at times was the big story. Not prolific snowstorms. 2013-2016 was the best 3 year stretch in MA history since the 60s imo.
