Does current climate data come from these ASOS sites?

Whether it's weather in general, or just New England, I love how quickly it can all change. No need to wait a week, a mere 48 hours is all it takes!

As someone who's simply a consumer of weather information and forecasts, I appreciate bold predictions that are backed up with sound data/reasoning and the experience of the person making the claim. From my perspective it seems that it's so easy to be wrong in this realm with the infinite number of evolving variables involved. Making a prediction, or multiple predictions that end up being wrong while announcing that everyone else sucks at the same craft is an odd approach. Having alternate perspectives on the data fosters a more robust discussion of possible outcomes but it's odd how it seems to rapidly devolve from productive to trolling. Interesting and entertaining nonetheless. Bottomed out at 20.3 here this morning. The slight breeze adds a bite to exposed skin.

Thank you! Is that data publicly available?

It was definitely in the 90's. My sister remembers moving into the apartment in 1995 and I think they moved from there in 1999 or 2000. I remember it dumping snow in the morning at Loon. It warmed up throughout the morning to around 32ish and kept snowing up there. By the time we got down to Manchester (I'm guessing 3-4pm?) there was a trace of snow still on the ground but most of it had melted. It was sunny and probably high 30's, low 40's in Manchester. Great day and memory, just can't nail down exactly when it was!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Can anyone tell me if it was 1995 or 1996 where Northern New England got snow (6"+) on Thanksgiving day? I'm thinking 1995 but can't find any specific record of it. I spent the morning snowboarding at Loon with my brother that year and cranked down 93 that afternoon to just catch dinner at my sisters place in Manchester. My siblings can't seem to recall the year either. They're all acting like it was 30 years ago or something...

Looks like this one is going in the books as 1.71" today. Of rain. Cold November Rain.

47.5 here with 1.35" of rain so far. Never even had a chance.

We're on the opposite side of Portsmouth. If the winds are right, you can almost see the smoke from the Vatican over this way.

Low of 16.5 here this morning but the rain appears to be on it's way. I've taken the liberty to add Great Bay to this image, not to scale of course, however it shows how this area clearly gets shafted in certain setups. While it may not be a flaccid system in general, it'll be flaccid for sure near the coast.

These things are all true and relate to the entirety of New England! I highly encourage everyone to stay away and not visit....

That's crazy - not a fan of this trend. I actually placed a couple orders with those guys within the past 6 months and never had the option to tip. Must be a new thing or maybe just a mobile thing? I ordered via PC. Ironically, I had one of our cars detailed and ceramic coated yesterday, picked it up today. While paying for the expensive-but-I'll-be-damned-if-I-do-it-myself service it popped up a tip option. Took me by surprise and....I caved. They did a good job but a 20% tip on a 5 figure service?! I don't think so. $25 because you guilted me into it and it still hurts my principles

I LOL'd at this for some reason. It's like a Powerball jackpot - of course we'd take it, but...

I'm curious about this too, if there's a known reason. Especially considering there's an apparent warming they should be factoring in. Why are they seemingly biased to show snowy outputs at these ranges?

The wife and I commented on that recently here as well - specifically with regard to Cardinals. We thought it was due to us not feeding them recently. Everything seems to be back now although the Cardinals have been elusive which is really odd for our house. They're always here year round. We've had a Carolina Wren bouncing around the mulch beds the past week too which is new. Haven't seen many groups of geese but the did see an absolutely massive group heading W/SW a couple weeks ago. Probably the largest I've ever seen. Like they all got up at once and took off.

High of 64.4 here today - what a day! Definitely a tale of two seasons. Had the same idea as you. First I got in my final mow, low and tight so any snow, and perhaps even a heavy frost, will start to get the ground covered. Then took the machines from mow to snow and blow. We're ready for the season to come regardless of what happens!

Every time a weekly's run a Bitcoin mints its wings?

Looks like they may be working on the base today. I'm always surprised to see how quickly some of these projects go up, but as you've said, it's getting pretty late in the season for this one to come together. https://www.attitash.com/the-mountain/mountain-conditions/mountain-cams.aspx

20.5 for the low around 6:30am.

21.2 for the low. Brisk and frosty.

I don't recall the 11/2002 ice storm. December 11-12, 2008 though, I remember that one. We were doing some Christmas shopping at the North Shore Mall or one of the other MA malls and as we got back into NH we stopped off at the Best Buy plaza in Portsmouth. When I stepped out of the car I slipped on the just-starting-to-freeze-up ice and laughed. Mostly because it was a decent day and I wasn't really expecting ice at that point. Told the wife and kids that our last stop needed to be quick so we can get home before the roads get too icy. Seven days later we got our power back...

Thanks. Supposing the GFS is correct about a Caribbean storm, do the general mechanics and evolution of a storm in that location impact where the ridges and troughs eventually line up in a consistent manner? Sorry if these are very basic questions and most here already know these answers. I'm interested in better understanding the predictions at longer lead times so I can relate what I'm reading from folks here to what I'm seeing on the models. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to explain these answers for the Nth time so I can attempt to keep up!

Are there any specific things you would be looking for (generally) that coincide with or reinforce this atmospheric pattern going forward? What would you want to see over the next 3-5 days that would build confidence in the pattern taking shape and eventually impacting New England weather? I'm assuming that the weather impact on New England would be of the winter variety...?

32.5 Nice and unexpected coating here. Our big oak lost the battle with the wind the past couple days but there's a few stragglers left on the lower branches.

Would someone be so kind to enlighten me as to what "R-wave" refers to? I tried looking it up but didn't see anything really relating to weather aside from a post referencing graphing temps as a sine wave.
