Beautiful hike out at Wagon Hill today. Pretty shocked by the amount of erosion…The sign informing about the erosion won’t make it through this winter.

I have roses, daisies, pansies and Lilly’s still budding. Lawn is still lush green. Being at a local max altitude in downtown — my thinking is —this makes for a very specific phenomenon, as the rad cold sinks down the hill to the Cocheco River adjacent and to the heart of down town below. If we can avoid good radiational conditions over the week, could be around through thanksgiving.

You look at tomorrow’s event and it just seems like the whole Jet/track is displaced 100 miles north given climo and the sig -NAO pattern. But background warmth in eastern Canada doing its thing…It doesn’t snow much in November, correct; but, this storm/evolution would be one way in which it could happen and it’s not even close in my hood. That, to me, is one key example on how marginal warming is having outsized effects.

Zzzzzzz

Another +3 high in the books.

The warmth continues.

For Logan only days BN were 2nd and yesterday. Overall very close to average for the week so far. Today and tomorrow will take it to firmly above average week.

Every day so far this week has registered +1/+2 AN. Today will be another one of those. Maybe a shot of +3. The short term operational guidance cold bias seems to subtly worsen. Tomorrow we +10.

Wind and clouds saved us from a hard freeze with duration. When I saw the clear night sky around midnight last night really thought a hard freeze was in order. The min obs for below freezing temps across the seacoast happened for an hour or less…

Beautiful fall day anywhere in SNE where sun is sustaining 60 in view

Get off your computer and go outside

Not real until @CoastalWxstarts saying it’s “bad ASOS”

Clouds gonna save many of us a freeze threat tonight before warmup.

55/32 Canadian airmass.

Another average high behind the “cold”front

At some point, outside the far interior, ya’ll will be looking at November as a shortening of mud season vs a snow potential month.

Gotta love how those sub freezing 850s can’t hold even with Canadian airmass

Heats been off all day; night included and it’s 69 inside. And that’s with partly sunnny skies.

I shouldn’t have to explain this but conservatively shade vs non shade is about -10/+10 in terms of real temperature. That’s point 1 point 2 is key — this matters in how many south facing windows you have, but if you maximize that, the heat captured is incredible as the lower angle is directed into the core of the house rather than to the roof as in summer. This affect is not well correlated to atmospheric temperatures… Next time you go into your full-sun exposed car, and it’s 30-40 outside take note how it’s 65+ in your car. That heat is captured and not irradiated back. Same as your home. If you’re paying attention, these are basic physical processes at work and intuitive.

If you bought a house with climo in mind, as you should have, all your trees shading the southern sky are no longer shading. It’s a huge boost to your home’s temperature. If the sun is out then heat is off. Overnight of course is when it clicks on but this is also when the thermostat should be turned way down.

Our Novembers have been the best weather month vs climo going back at least 10 years now. And this November is already prepped to continue that awesome trend.

Looks like as mid latitudes go, the northern gulf of Maine, bay of fundy and Gulf of St Lawrence are running the warmest SST anomalies across the globe.

Left the house this morning with winter hat and the warm boots for the usual dog walk.Dressed way too warmly. Gorgeous morning.

We have entered now —The time of the year when heating bills can stay flat while climo gets a lot colder thanks to the leaves being all down and more direct sun on the house and yard. Lasts through about turkey day….

Biggest rain in 6 months here.
