Snowcrazed71

I think Central and Western Canada are getting bombarded with snow from this latest storm that has been coming in. They should have a really good snow cover out in British Columbia, the Canadian Rockies and even into around the Calgary Alberta area.

Ahhh... I see what you mean by boring you want some action as far as damaging winds or tornadoes or hurricanes or major flooding. I find that so fascinating, but I don't want it where I am. My parents went through it first hand with the hurricane down in Florida last year ago and it really devastated their house and the area around them, so much so that they're going to be moving back north. So I'm not a fan of devastation and how it takes people out. Just not my thing, but to each their own.

I wouldn't say it was a Flaccid year around here..... we had one of the wettest Summers with a several months being in the top 5 wettest months ever. Maybe where you are it was boring though.

Probably nothing.... But...I don't expect much until we get later in the season. You're just going to have to make your own fun for now.

What???

Looks like most of us inland Connecticut will get down close to freezing next Tuesday night...and below Wednesday night. There's that hard Freeze Kevin.

Yes it was

Wound up with 2.2" of Rain here. The rain shut off around 1

I think he's doing this So he doesn't get disappointed when we don't see the cold shot. I think we've all been burned enough times where the models show one thing 10 days out and another 5 days out. But it seems pretty evident to me that this cold shot is coming. He's just a bit gun shy I guess

You mean Damaging, right? ;-)

No, no, this wasn't for where you are, I was referring to the post from go-kart. Even here in Connecticut. There's been some extreme differences from one side to the other. But I agree up where you are it's a totally different story.

I disagree... I'm about 12 miles west of Hartford and when I left this morning we already had 1.45" of rain. I think i would be over 2" by now

So the average first frost for my area of Connecticut, unless you're deep in a valley are way up high is between the 11th and 20th. So we are a little behind. As far as the first Freeze... I think that would be more around November 10th-ish time frame

You are one twisted dude lol

Apparently there will be a storm forming off the Delmarva which will cause the heavy rains tomorrow. Originally the storm was going to get it's act together further east near the Cape...

I really thought as of last week it was going to be pretty bum year for nice foliage. However, just in the last couple of days, the hills around my house look like calico mountain. The colors are really popping and looking really nice. So there is some salvaged foliage happening

I'm a fan of a few meteorologists here in Connecticut. Ryan, of course, and I also am a fan of Gil Simmons from WTNH. WTNH. He gave a bit of his view of one he thinks. We'll see our first flurries, and first widespread snow. He gave a guesstimate of flurry somewhere around the 7th of November, and thought around the 27th We would have a shot of some snow across the state. Now. Of course not talking blockbuster snow, but some snow. None of this is set in stone, and he even said it's just something he sees as a possibility. Something to look forward to for now.

Not in my neck of the woods. We have been having on and off rain since this morning

I have to be honest, I'm hearing things about this El nino being strong or one of the top El Nino's. Yet I'm hearing other people saying it's a modern El nino and it's probably not going to get stronger than that. What gives. I feel like the ones who say it's at a moderate El nino and will probably stay around that level. Have given better detailing than the ones you say. Strong El nino to super El nino. I feel like that's coming from the media.

Funny.... I had zero blooms on my three Hydrangeas as well. Very strange. I also have several dogwoods in my yard, and I had more berries this year than I've had in it the last three. The last time I had a lot of berries on the trees was when we first moved in. I remember We had a fair amount of snow that winter, We also have a huge amount of black walnuts that are falling from our black walnut tree. It's crazy, but I can almost shovel them up and put them in the wheel barrel .... so here's hoping for a normal Winter.

Just got home from work. It was spritzing in West Hartford, it's now starting to rain here in Plainville.

I think he's just fishing for responses contrary to the the link he posted about a historically strong El nino.

It looks like Fairfield county is getting some pretty heavy rain returns ( strange... It almost looks like sleet with the reds? )..... anyway.... We are right on that cusp... Even me being 5-7 miles north of you can make a difference.

I pray it leaves Friday night dry... We have tickets for the Trail of Terror and it would be my daughter's first time!

Maybe...maybe not. Time will tell
