Maybe you missed what was asked..let’s keep it to weather. Take your crap to the proper thread.

This was Nov 18 - 23 1953 - Residents of New York City suffered through ten days of smog resulting in 200 deaths. (The Weather Channel) In November 1953, a stagnant air mass settled over New York City from roughly November 18 to 23, trapping pollutants close to the ground and creating a dense smog that blanketed the city for nearly a week. Heavy use of coal-fired heating, industrial furnaces, incinerators, and vehicle exhaust filled the air with sulfur dioxide and soot that could not disperse due to the atmospheric inversion. As a result, air-pollution levels surged to dangerous concentrations, leading to a sharp increase in respiratory and cardiac illnesses. Health officials later estimated that between 170 and 260 excess deaths occurred during the event. The disaster became a turning point in U.S. urban air-quality awareness, helping to spur stronger local and national pollution-control measures in the years that followed.

In my case I was born and lived in New Hampshire as a young child, love keeping tabs on New England weather, especially northern New England. When I retire there's a decent chance I'll become a local again.

0.34” overnight in my corner of Columbia.

Bro, almost everything you said there is wrong. Lol. But whatever. Just so you know, Midwest and plains get less snow than most of New England.

Through the first week of Nov Dep (rain) EWR: +1.8 (0.09) NYC: +1.1 (0.21) LGA: +0.9 (0.11) JFK: + 0.7 (0.01)

Chill pushing into the upper midwest

Maybe a couple hundredths. Fine with me as I have a ton of leaves to blow. Nice and dry..

A quick note: Denver finally surpassed its monthly record that was set in 2006 this year. On November 2, the mercury topped out at 83° in Denver.

Yeah he’s gone. Sure we had some duds but we’ve had some decent events too.

0.13" overnight, up to 48.5F and still cloudy. Pond is still down about 4ft, lowest water level yet for this time of year, even drier than 2016 summer/autumn, it's always been full by the time it freezes up in late Nov. Oak, beech, apple and birch leaves still hanging tough despite the many strong gusts over the past week.

Highs: EWR: 77 (2020) NYC: 76 (1975) LGA: 77 (2020) JFK: 74 (2020) Lows: EWR: 27 (1976) NYC: 29 (2019) LGA: 31 (2019) JFK: 28 (1976) Historical: 1870 - The first storm warning was issued by the U.S. Signal Corps Weather Service. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987) 1870: The U.S. Signal Corps Weather Service issued the first storm warning on this day. Professor Increase A. Lapham believed that warnings of deadly storms on the Great Lakes could be derived from telegraphed weather observations. As a result, a bill was introduced and signed into law to establish a national telegraphic weather service. The Signal Corps began taking observations of November 1st, 1870. On this date, Lapham would issue the first storm warning, a cautionary forecast for the Great Lakes. 1879: A tornado struck Crawford County, Arkansas, killing several people. 1913: The Great Lakes Storm of November 7-13, 1913, was a blizzard with hurricane-force winds that devastated the Great Lakes Region, sinking as many as 19 ships and stranding 19 others. This storm would be the deadliest and most destructive natural disaster ever to hit the Great Lakes. 1914: It finally rained on this date in Bagdad, California, breaking an incredible rain-free streak of 767 days, the U.S. record! (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1943: 3.20 inches of rain fell in 24 hrs. at WBO in Washington, DC. (Washington Weather Records - KDCA) 1943 - An early season snowstorm raged across eastern South Dakota and Minnesota into northern Wisconsin. The storm produced 22 inches of snow at Fairbult and Marshall MN, 20 inches at Redwood Falls MN, and 10.1 inches at Minneapolis. Drifts fifteen feet high were reported in Cottonwood County MN. The storm produced up to two feet of snow in South Dakota smothering a million Thanksgiving day turkeys. (6th-8th) (David Ludlum) (The Weather Channel) 1966 - The temperature in downtown San Francisco reached a November record of 86 degrees. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Thunderstorms over Texas produced locally heavy rains in the Hill Country, with 3.50 inches reported at Lakeway, and 3.72 inches reported at Anderson Mill. Thunderstorms over Louisiana produced hail an inch in diameter at Clay and at Provencial. Blustery northwest winds, ushering cold air into western Kansas and into northwest Texas, gusted to 46 mph at Hill City KS. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1988 - Fair weather prevailed across much of the nation for Election Day. Midland TX equalled their record for November with an afternoon high of 89 degrees, and the record high of 87 degrees at Roswell NM was their fifth in eight days. (Storm Data) (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Afternoon and evening thunderstorms developing along and ahead of a cold front produced severe weather from northern Louisiana into central Georgia. Thunderstorms spawned three tornadoes, and there were sixty-four reports of large hail or damaging winds. A late afternoon thunderstorm in central Georgia spawned a tornado which killed one person and injured eight others at Pineview. Late afternoon thunderstorms in central Mississippi produced baseball size hail around Jackson, and wind gusts to 70 mph Walnut Grove. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1991: The first week in November in Iowa was extremely cold. The average temperature over the state for the week was 18.3°, which is 24.7 degrees below normal. This was easily the coldest first week of November in 100 years of record. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 1994: The twelfth and final tropical cyclone of the Atlantic hurricane season formed in the southwestern Caribbean. While Hurricane Gordon was only a Category 1, it killed 1,149 individuals, including 1,122 in Haiti. 1999: Kennebec, South Dakota: The temperature reaches 89 °F, breaking the all time record for the warmest November maximum temperature ever recorded in the state. (Ref. WxDoctor) 85 record high temperatures fell across the Midwest as Indian Summer weather was felt across the region. Many locations set new high temperature records for the month of November, not just for the date, including Valetine NE, where the mercury topped out at 86 degrees. Other records included 82 in Omaha NE and 86 in Huron SD. Pierre SD was the nation's hot spot, with a high of 87 degrees that was a record for November. For the second day in a row, Winner SD set a new November record. (Ref. AccWeather Weather History) 2006: Denver, CO climbed to 80°. their highest November temperature since records began in 1872 and the highest temperature for so late in the season. Chadron, NE also hit 80°, their latest 80 degree reading for so late in the season. (Ref. Wilson Weather History)

Did you read IWX this morning? Given the incredible thermodynamics, Lake Superior connection, and synoptic support any mesolow or dominant band will be capable of producing snowfall rates of up to 3"/hour with thundersnow quite possible. There is still some uncertainty where exactly the band sets up and how long it stays in one area (models show some variation to the flow through Monday), but snow will be measured in feet, not inches, for any location that sees this dominant band visit for more than a few hours. Have a conservative 6-12" for La Porte County right now but that could certainly go higher. Winds will also be a concern with this event.

Rain can go away too much to do outside to prepare for a classic New England winter. Love the snow capped look up north already. Its coming

It has been boring recently, but we will get our share of violent weather soon

Selling our winters a little short. Been a run of duds, but New England wins for annual snow per elevation in the Conus. Aside from the immediate lake effect zones, the Plains and Midwest get less than alot of New England

Well I don't know if that's all true. We certainly have had our share of violent storms and severe winters. Recency bias.

0.000001” rain last night, but enough to make the leaves and lawn wet enough to delay today’s planned clean up. I’m with DIT @Damage In Tolland, it is triggering. Too much shit to get done, not enough time

57 / 56 clearing after 0.10 light rain earlier this morning. Low - mid / upper 60s in the warmest spots today (warmest for a period), Clouds with the front tomorrow / light rain / showers. 72 hours cool down with lowest temps since last March and widesprea freezes Mon - Wed. Moderating beyond there is the trough lifts out with near to above normal after mid month.

Sorry, been swamped this fall. Every weekend I tell myself I will check in but something comes up. I know that once I'm committed to tracking, I'm committed Here are some sky, sunrise/set pics from the summer.

Nice Rainer next weekend

A nice August morning out there as we extend the warm season.

It's kind of unfortunate that I've always been so fixated on extreme weather considering the fact that I live in New England. Other than the west coast it's probably the worst area of the country for a severe weather enthusiast. Great Lakes and Plains regions get tornadoes and a lot more snow, southern states get hurricanes and tornadoes, Rocky mountains get a lot of snow. New England much like the west coast has such a temperate climate that extremes are naturally rare. We all get excited over every mundane nor'easter and 40 mph wind gust because it's all we can get. Even the winters don't produce snow like they used to which was the one thing that we had going for us. Outside of a few random days in January or February, November through April is cloudy or raining, with maybe 20% of days having sun but nothing interesting. Summers are hot and humid but never produce big severe like other areas do. I can go on and on but yeah basically it sucks if you like extreme weather. If you love San Diego but like it colder with more rain come to New England.
