Lights flickered hear out Western Ave. a bit, seems around the time you posted that. Power stayed on. Didn't know there was an outage downtown.

KEEN measures .44 inches overnight. Looks to be about done here. Halloween parade on Main Street this evening will be high and dry! My roommate and I are going as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If we get a third...Tweedledummer. A fourth? Tweedledummest! Ha.

Here, 28/28, but will drop a few degrees by dawn (4am NWS local station). It's almost 5am now. We have had about the same temp every day for the past four or so mornings. Over one inch of rain coming! Ready for some weather ovah heah.

I may have misspoken. Keene is about 200 feet higher than I am. It is a few degrees colder in the valley here than at my local NWS station, KEEN. No worries, I will have my new outdoor thermometer set up at my new apartment next month. Moving stuff out of here now, not worth it at this time. As for the Christmas tree farm, that's a good point, ha! I'll be sure to get a reading when the time comes, and report back.

Yup, as I said earlier, I will finally get a new outdoor thermometer at my new apartment here next month, but I know when there's thermal inversion, as has been the case of late, we at the elevation of the river are always a few degrees colder than the local NWS station, KEEN. The past few mornings have been around 25F in Keene, about 200 feet ASL. We are at about 300 feet ASL, so been probably more like 22F. Suffice to say, it has been chilly!

Frost in the meadow and steaming "remaul" (sp) mulch from the chipper. Morning.

Get ready to pick up scraps!

NWS says around 1.5 inches here...fingers crossed.

Low 25/24.1. I have been outside. Feels like 22 or so here in the Connecticut River Valley. Nice, if you bundle up!

I grew up climbing Mount Washington and The Presidential Range. I have skied Tuckerman Ravine three years straight the years after college. Final time from the lip. Wicked cool, and scary as hell, going up and down. Took the left gully down, didn't fall. Have pix on my FB page. One shot climbing in the summer, "This mountain has some of the worst weather in the world. Turn back now if you are unprepared." I paraphrase, will dig up the photo. Highest wind speed ever recorded: 230 some odd MPH. Mount Washington is no joke.

It's 24/23 here, probably minus a couple degrees compared with KEEN A little nip in the air!

I downloaded these this morning.

But then some people wouldn't have anything to post! Haha.

Yes, I am a weenie!!!

Now 29/28 at 6am. Feels kinda chilly out there. That's KEEN, Almost 200 feet higher. We are often a few degrees colder here in Brattleboro, which is about 300 ft. ASL at the Connecticut River, when we have thermal inversion. BTW, finally getting a new outdoor thermometer at my new apartment next month...

I don't really care if it's fantasy or real, I just like to see models of snow piling up. It used to happen!

On a different note, regarding what's "on topic" in the New England forum, have never posted much, just read and post OBS usually. I have more time and I am about to have to go back to "read only" mode, with work again, and a move to a new apartment next month. Th is mainly for my own edification. But, apparently, when a weather system offshore will affect the coast of New England, e.g., wind, coastal erosion, and concomitant flooding, perhaps rain and snow squalls, is it not appropriate to post "waves coming," or similar, since I was born and raised in coastal New England, and I am far from the only 100 times per tear, mostly winter, surfer (and snowboarder) here? Oh, it's not about snowmobiles or lawns. I see. I will keep it to my surf and snowboard forums then. Good to know!

Local station reports low of 32/32, fog over the Connecticut River, now burned off, 38F and clear as a bell!

Waves.

We have achieved peak color!

My local station reports .83 inches thus far. The Whetstone Brook running through the center of town is finally filling its banks. Huzzah!

OK this can be deleted now...a rare glitch, this site is very stable. Thanks!

The yellows are the best this year...This one seems to have disappeared after I posted it yesterday. The backyard.

I posted a foliage photo this morning, and it disappeared. About a week ago I posted about NOAA's Blobtracker Web site in the New England forum, and it was removed. I get that - off topic or wrong forum, no problem. But a foliage photo from my backyard in Vermont? Just curious....

Yellows are nice this year...
