Got a wedding to go to at 3 today.  Hope its clears up a little bit 

Was hoping the same thing to play some golf later but looking at GOES-East not sure it will happen. Winds still coming form the N/NE in pushing that moisture in off the ocean.

Could be worse...parts of ND just got a foot of snow. Some reporter on the weather channel was just walking around in a deep snow drift and called it a "snow dune" because it reminded him of sand dunes.

Yesterday afternoon they went from 75F, 5mph wind to 51F an hour later with 51 mph winds and gusts to 64... then down to 33F a couple hours after that. Man that would be cool to experience. 

It definitely was an experience! I remember thinking New Englanders were full of crap with "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes" you hear all the time haha. I'll admit though, I like the variability of our climate more overall. Nothing beats a bombed out nor'easter deformation band sitting over your head.

Looks like DIA went from 82F to 19F in 18 hours for a temp change of 63 degrees. That is sick. 

Beautiful symmetrical tropical cyclone. 

I love New Englands variable climate, but these are the days I miss living in Denver.

Haven't been there in a while, but I'll have to check it out this winter. Same with Tenney.

I was up by Tenney today on the way home from the Whites and it reminded me I need to check it out this year as well! If I recall correctly there is no snowmaking since they re-opened? All natural which is pretty sweet.

That epic pass does sound epic, I'd certainly do it if I could, but because of my location, I usually go with the White Mountain super pass (WV, Cannon, BW and Cranmore) and even though I buy it in April, it still costs over $1000, ughh. On a positive note, if you get one and you've got kids under 13, you can get a kids season pass at WV if you rent skis (about $150) from Ken Jones in Manchester.

I heard Killington will blow snow to open as soon as possible, but looking medium range, it's not looking possible for at least a couple weeks, but who knows?

Ragged Mt is not nearly as big as places like Cannon or BW but still offers some great terrain. There trees are actually awesome and they get sneaky dumped on a lot. There season pass is only $349. I typically grab one even if I have another pass elsewhere. Not a bad drive from Lowell either, probably an hour forty-five minutes and it's pretty nice that your not on the highway the whole time IMO. 

OT but anyone see the Typhoon in the WPAC? Looks like Patricia/Wilma intensity. Definitely fits the bill for one of the most intense TC observed. 

Nice temperature inversion going on out there. 37 up on Mt. Washington but 28 where I’m staying in Jefferson NH for the weekend.

Multiple reports from staff and guests of frozen precip at the top of the Gondola (picnic tables)....sounds like snow grains or IP from the description.  Just the leading edge of precip so evap cooling processes are taking over for a minute before it saturates and goes to rain.

Let it begin! Looks like A-Basin out in CO has turned the snow guns on and Killington was testing there guns yesterday. Looks cold enough to turn them on tomorrow night but doubt they do with the way the rest of the week looks.

EF0 in Portsmouth RI. Not bad.

65mph...Don't see that often.

CF coming through here now. 66 KLWM with 73 at KBED. Might have to go squeeze in 9 hole after work when the rain clears out. I love playing some fall golf. 

Wouldn’t be surprised if it briefly retains major status before weakening commences. 

Dang Lorenzo just cleared out an eye. Wasn't expecting that.

Structure has greatly improved the past few hours. Lorenzo is a fighter.

Michael

Wow Lorenzo is really impressive for it's location and the time of year, but I can't help to be a little skeptical of it being a Cat 5 right now. That eye is just a little to ragged for me despite the warm eye temp. Compared to hurricane Michael that wasn't upgraded until post season analysis...I just don't know if it fits the bill. Perhaps NHC not afraid to be a little aggressive considering it's in the middle of the Atlantic right now. Also of note Michael had higher ADT estimates but we had much more recon data throughout the storm.

Do you know if there's a way to manage your background colors? This stark white is burning a hole in my retinas.

"I'll be adjusting the new skin .. or perhaps have users choose between light and dark options"

Wow posted that in the site performance thread. Not an option yet but hopefully it will be soon because I agree with you. 

At least it looks like the font issue is fixed for now.

Coming down nicely at Showdown, MT. Looks like a pretty small resort for Montana.

You have to manually set text back to black font right now. The board is defaulting to white font on a white background haha.

FYI you have to manually set your font to black to see your comment. The board is defaulting to white font right now. 

How does this happen again after El Faro? Is it really that has not to sail into the eye of a major hurricane in 2019? Looks like a NOAA hurricane hunter assisted in the search and rescue mission as well which is probably a first.

someone made the default text color white so you have to manually change it to black

lol umm wow 

Interesting stuff. Thanks ORH and Wiz for the explanations. 

Those few lavender colored spots on this snowfall map  I also love the "wind damage to docks and marinas" statement. Most storms of this strength the water has to be pretty much all iced over up there. Great AFD by Missoula NWS as well.

Snow won`t start to 
  accumulate in most of the valleys until Saturday night. Due to the 
  warm ground temperatures from the recent summer

When the strong winds and cold air start to interact with the 
  relatively warm waters of Flathead Lake, it makes the perfect setup 
  for big, damaging waves on the lake. It`s very rare to have waves 
  6 ft or more on Flathead Lake, but it`s possible this Saturday.

Quick question for anyone though. Does the cold air interacting with warm water make the waves bigger as the discussion implies? Not sure I've heard that before.
