I was thinking similarly. Considering the warmer background state it seems that as the early cold degrades winter may struggle to stay.

I pretty much run my business from two spots on the couch or the dining room table if I need to spread out papers. I go visit customers when I feel like wearing real shoes or I need a break from the wife  

I'm right at the tail end of the spit of snow moving through. It's kind of like visible virga. There are micro flakes floating around, it almost looks like gnats. lol

It was basically just one squally period that left .2. At one point it was coming down hard enough to coat the edge of low traffic streets. 

I wasn't home when it stopped snowing but it was sticking to everything, even the edges of the local streets. When I got home there was easily a quarter inch accumulated on everything but the streets. 

31° with a stiff NW breeze and snow varying from random flakes to moderate squalls. There are nice coatings where the wind deposits enough flakes.

Such a beautiful part of the country. Saranac Lake and surrounding areas are a great vacation spot. It would be fun to take one of these small airlines up there. 

 

 

I'll be in Saranac on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. 

2.9  I was at the edge of that N/S stripe of his 2s and low 3s. It was higher just east of me as we got a backfeed of wetness that just kept going for hours after the main body moved out. 

Crazy that I'm double you guys, 2.9 here.

The last round of rain brought me to 2.9. It's still drizzling.

.17 with the occasional gust around 20. It's finally raining harder and the wind is up. It's a nice afternoon to go for a Jebwalk but the flying branches are sketchy.

.1 and plenty of wind, light rain, 47°. Looks and feels like fall with about half the leaves down.

That may not help...  maybe this does.  Once I thread it... I sweat it... just like I did in NWS with HWO etc... sleep interrupted worry.  I feel some sort of responsibility to what I post...  Just not quite confident enough and I do not need the naysayers saying I told you so.  I think we have time. Probably offline til 3P.

I've sensed this for a long time, it's a big part of what drew me to read your work years ago and keeps me following you. Thanks for the good work

The models have gone from showing a true coastal storm/nor’easter to an inland runner/cutter

That's because they're preparing for winter. They're making sure they know how to properly screw us.

I know we do lol.  Just not right up next to the road lol.

 

Man you say some dumb shit. Some of your opinions and approaches need to be discussed somewhere else. Maybe it's time to take a break from this place. 

That was a nice, quick half inch.

we have that nasty exotic mosquito disease now too.  I didn't see all these mosquitos in June and July when we were baking, they seem to come out of nowhere now.  I wonder what got them going in October and not before this? Or maybe I didn't notice them when it was very hot and they were hiding in the shade lol

 

No, you had something else to complain about that was more important at the time

How is it that we always have a ton of mosquitoes and gnats in summers when it rains a lot though and very few in a summer like 2002 or 2010 when it's dry?

 

This year has been absolutely horrible for small biting/stinging winged critters. 

That's good. Dry out some of these fallen leaves to make it easier to clean up. I need a warm day Saturday, dry would be a bonus. 

Local sites range from 2.1 to 2.7, less west and more east. The first few hours I sat here with some mist and drizzle while 2 miles away it was steady rain. If it was snow I would've been really frustrated.

Some drizzle, some wind, it's raw and unpleasant. Perfect night to light a fire and drink bourbon 

I've always been a fan of roundabouts but this one isn't as good as it could be. The merge zones are way too short, curbs almost intrude to the point that if you're forced to make a line correction because someone else screwed up you'll probably hit the curb and the lanes are borderline too narrow if towing a long trailer like so many contractors do. I've always enjoyed the goat path but take 403 as often as not now because most people are too stupid to handle the new layout. 

I wonder if the new piece of Rt 6 by Camp Smith is raised enough to stay dry.

? Duh, yeah only when it's stirred up. Apparently the lights were popping but the moon was crazy bright. I don't have the patience to sit there running a long exposure shot to get a pic of something I can't actually see.
