Still overall AOB normal first 10 days... and models are "attempting" first flakes mix for I84 high terrain, esp 11/8-9. Nothing unusual.

We probably have to factor the summer drought stress during peak heating into the equation. This was the 4th driest and warmest summer here. Last year the summer was much wetter before the dry conditions last fall.

I was just thinking that.

31 with frost in Marysville this morning.

Strengthening at LF. Not good at all .

I haven’t even signed back up for WB yet this season, Lol! The time is coming soon…

System is a wonderful casestudy in how to navigate internal processess in the healthiest way possible. Wow.

I am guessing somewhere around Treasure Beach is going to see the worst of it.

you'll awaken the Blizz!

Insane lightning in that eye wall.

So far 2.25" of precip. Misty and chilly this morning. More rain expected tonight and tomorrow. We really needed this. The ground was hard as concrete and cracking in lots of areas with the drought.

Still could be some earlier gusts with children blown down

Recon is gonna find a sub 900 storm.

Very important point...personally, I feel folks get too carried away with SST maps because although somewhat of a feedback can develop to a degree, they are not the primary mechanism driving the pattern and are more of a reflection of it. I don't focus on that at all, aside from ENSO.

Imagery actually suggests that the diameter of the eye has increased since the merger. Now we have a deep ring of lighting as well. I hate to say this, but it looks like Melissa is undergoing another period of intensification. Certainly somewhat better than a steady-state. Recon will be, *ahem* interesting...

Winds peak later at night. Gfs and euro look 50+ in gusts.

24 this morning, it just keeps getting colder

It is clear something favorable happened to the inner core structure in the last two hours. The CDO suddenly appears even stronger, the eye has grown in size, and there has been an explosion of intense lightning surrounding the eye.

A nice steady rain is exactly what the doctor ordered.

What might be causing the more muted colors this year? It's nowhere near as dry as last fall.

Yea, to be fair...really only one direction for them to go.

I mentioned that to him a couple of weeks ago.

Sorry, not trying to be a smartguy. And no I do not have a ton of time to post, but I do read. And when you make a point about cooling SST's in NPAC as a slam dunk against a 2013 type blob, I felt it was very fair to give an accurate analysis. Personally, I do not think having a warm NPAC will equal some 2013-14 type winter, but that is beside the point. The NPAC on Oct 24th, 2013 is very similar to the current look with the exception that the current anomalies are warmer. Oct 24, 2013 Current And as far as when 2013 warmth returned tonthe Eastern NPAC it was not until the later part of DEC: NOV 14, 2013 DEC 15, 2013 Sorry, it ruffled your feathers.

It’s very challenging to guess ahead of time how vibrant the foliage will be during any given year. Not really noticing colors quite a vivid up here compared to years past here and back on Long Island. The best fall color that I can remember back on Long Island was actually the late very vibrant foliage back in 2007. Went to a friends house in Mt. Sinai for Thanksgiving that year and the colors were gorgeous for that late in the season.

It actually looks better now on satellite after whatever happened with that merger. Not good.
