Is this a permanent change at the Accuweather channel, or did they give all their OCMs Thanksgiving Week off? BTW, windiest day here in awhile. Helped me test my refurbished anemometer.

Something I'm not observing are humans on the Accuweather TV Channel. Lately whenever I've tuned in it's been just automated graphics, even during morning and evening prime time.

Killington and Stowe have opened for skiing. May the snow soon come a few hundred miles south.

I like seeing juicy Pacific systems come ashore near LA, as is progged for this weekend. When other conditions are right, those have produced some of our biggest snows about a week later. May that pattern continue into the coming colder months.

Eric Wilhelm's focus is on Ohio, but he does a nice job explaining the reasoning behind his winter forecast for the larger region. He explains the acronym sea of QBO, IOD, ENSO, etc. He posted the full winter forecast version on youtube today. https://www.wfmj.com/clip/15520187/erics-annual-winter-forecast

maxed at 40, making today's avg 34.5 Nov 22 last year had similar cold

29 for the low here, first freeze of the season. This brief cold shot reminds me of what most of November 1977 was like. Repeated frontal passages followed by cold stratocumulus skies.

Topped out at 44, some 5 to 10 degrees lower than forecast. Growing season very likely to end tonight, but wind will prevent temp from dropping far below freezing.

down to 36 at 10 pm, feels like I-95 gets first freeze tonight

From AFDLWX of 223 PM EST Thu Nov 6 2025 "The airmass moving into the region Monday night is going to be extremely cold, possibly approaching some of the coldest temps ever sampled for the Tuesday 12Z IAD sounding. The GFS and ECMWF both show the potential for 500mb temps to be at or colder than -35C."

though the lat lon puts it in East Columbia

ah, added to USGS 16 mins after the event, centered in Riverside, MD

it's not showing up on the USGS list, but that sure felt like a small quake

Small earthquake in Central MD a moment ago?
