You'll be interested to know that TWC was just hyping that system. Under their scenario #1 they said all interests from Boston to DC should be monitoring this system for potential northeaster. Of course scenario #2 was OTS, but they didn't have a preference for one over the other, saying anything can happen, lol.

18z GFS says cold and dry here for next 10 days, with below 40°F temps throughout until the end of the period. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
"if the GFS verifies".
-
These next 16 days will be very forgettable if the 18z GFS verifies. A little over 0.5" qpf, 90% of which falls on Sunday, and after Monday near normal temps for my hood during the period. Will finish the leaf harvesting tomorrow.
-
The circuit is now complete as the IKON finally gave up and went OTS, lol.
-
Interesting that it has been showing cutters and now goes to a BM system. Next run it will join the rest with an OTS. What a model!
-
CMC gets better with each run, while GFS is all over the place run to run. Just saying. Not that I'm depending on the Canadians. Even the 12/9 system went from OTS @ 18z to a cutter now, lol.
-
Boston water temps are about 48°F, too, so that doesn't help them either. But I noticed that is the coldest SST for this date in over 10 years, at least.
-
Investing in weeklies to any degree is bad for your prognostication health.
-
The 0z GFS has a nice BM hit then, lol.

Based on past history, mark this down as the moment things begin to change for the better, lol.

I would buy that reasoning but for the fact that they have Cleveland as one of the top 4 heat island cities despite the cooling effect of Lake Erie. I would think that the westerlies off the lake would be more prevalent than the easterlies off the ocean.
-
Here's a study that was done showing the UHI effect on cities around the country. I'm not sure I buy it, as they have the Boston-Providence corridor with a negative UHI, lol. https://phys.org/news/2015-09-cities-based-urban-island-effect.html

So WBZ got it wrong then.
-
It was 1891, not 1890.
-
Interesting find there. I noticed a -34° on Mt Washington. I thought the observatory wasn't there until the 1890's?
-
True, that. In 1880 the population of Worcester was about 58,000 people, making it the 28th largest city in the country. But there was probably little or no heat effect like today's cities.
-
But ORH was 500' lower then and in the city.
-
With a falling temp of 8.5°F just before midnight on 11/29/1875, I'd say that 10°F max high the next day looks good. I like the description, "decidedly cold". You think? Nice archive.
-
Boston's record low for November was -2°F in 1875, so that 10°F low maximum may not be wrong.
-
They were talking Boston, whether Logan or otherwise.
-
According to WBZ-TV, there was a 22 low maximum back on 11/22/1891 for Boston, so perhaps the record was not tied. Or maybe they just got the date wrong.
-
I know he said relative to average. I'm just saying he made it sound as though we are already in winter.
-
I would take that bet since we aren't even in winter yet, however you define winter, whether calendar or meteorological.
