Update.  Over to moderate snow.  Temp and dew continue to drop.   34/28F  Quick ground coating

35.5/29  Moderate snow mixed with rain. Finally, after 2 hours I have gone over to mostly snow.  Congrats to much of NNE where snow is falling.  

Alex's webcam showing a winter wonderland as of 8pm.  Places that are getting some good accumulations are going to keep it for a while

35.7F  Rain and snow 1100 feet.  Drove 1/2 mile up my road and 400 feet higher.  Moderate very wet snow and grass has a sloppy coating.  Im sure the hills around here at 2000 feet are white tonight.

36.2/31  moderate rain and snow.   Trying really hard to flip.

37.3/32   Catpaws...

It's a bit mentally unsettling to have a 62 year old man running outside and watching for a mangled snowflake on a car windshield.  Neighbor that just drove by is going to report me for odd behavior.  That being said  I just looked at Alex's cam and he's over to accumulating snow

Wonder if I can flip at 1100 feet?   38.5/33 but rain is very light

Precip just started 15 minutes ago as light rain.   38.7/33F.   Good luck to those further north and higher up.  Wonder if we flip but don't expect any accum

Weird sleet shower just came through 

You better enjoy your bare ground the next couple of days.  Could be gone for awhile come Friday night.  I'll be watching you up there.

What do you guys like better? weathermodels.com or wxbell?

I have never used weather models.com just wxbell. I like their Graphics you can get in really close but their Banner takes up so much space that I have to always look at it full-screen to see the New England maps. Also each model data is in different places interface face is confusing they said they were going to update this summer and they never have yet. Dictating this message on my smartphone so it's a little messed up sorry.

Happiness is its 1115am and I'm thinking only 45 minutes for the 12Z GFS.  Then realizing its already in.

Snowy morning up on the mountain.....  Big Island Hawaii

Winds are roaring but Im protected in this direction so only 31mph gust.  Just checked on my electric provider.  Of 80,000 people 3.2% are now out.

I had one year a decade ago that was around 60". About 46" here so far so it's not going to happen here barring Noah's arrival.

Just a huge difference.  I don't keep the stratus out in winter so can't give you those months. I put it out on April 25th and got 1" on that date.  From that date through this AM  (2.92")  Nov  23.10"  

Heavy rain, lots of lightning and thunder.  My local Newfound Lake facebook friends are all commenting on how loud the thunder is tonight.  Rainfall last 30 minutes is .50" and counting fast.

Congrats Dendrite.

Thunderstorm with heavy rain in Dendriteland north.  Very loud thunder.  Because it is cold at the surface  (49) wonder if we have an inversion making it louder?

Just hit 50F.  Last time was Oct 21rst.   .95" of rain last night and today.  Now the next slug.

I was in the fog and low clouds all day.  Took the drone up for a look around.  Just a few hundred feet above me the visibility was 75 miles.  I could see the Green Mountains to the west and the snow on Mt Washington to the north.  Not going to post the whole video but here is a screenshot looking west over Newfound Lake.

You're not wrong there. 

But this is a bit of an odd event, where it's a 1-2 hour potential within a fairly ordinary background CAA wind event. Broadly speaking, if MOS is sustained at or above 20 kts, it'll be advisory gusts. But this event is likely happening between MOS hours. 

Of course wind is a bit of a crapshoot anyway. A couple weeks ago, we had a low end advisory event (peak gust anywhere was 48 mph at PWM) and had nearly 100,000 outages in ME. A few days later we had another CAA event (peak gust 40 mph) and barely 10,000 outages. 

Don't know how it is on the coastal plain but many of the oak trees are still holding on to their leaves much later than normal.  With wind advisories/watches/warnings are their strick protocols you have to follow or can you take into account the amount of foliage that is or isn't on the trees?

Dark rainy day 46F up here.  Approaching 1".   No wind to speak of. Enjoy the tropics down there. 

Happy Birthday DIT.  Damaging, hurricane force NW gusts this weekend?

46F  light to moderate rain.  Approaching 1".    I'm jealous of the guys in SNE.  60's!   It will be interesting to watch the front today to see how far north it gets.  No doubt I will stay in the gloom and cold.

Pond coming up.  7 ducks feasting in the shallow water now covering up the grass.  Great to have my pond back.

The beat goes on.  Have not hit 50F since Oct 21rst.  Got close today with a 49.2F   Periods of rain all day.  Dark and gloomy.

Jerry sorry for your loss. You're right as we get older it happens more and more. Halloween is non-existent on my dead end dirt road. In the last 10 years we have not had one trick or treater. Everyone goes into town and has a blast and doesn't spend time up here in the Hills where you have to drive long distances house to house. Edit... I saw a news piece that there's an online petition to change Halloween to the last Saturday of October. Sure makes sense to me to have it on a weekend less traffic adults can enjoy it more Etc.

lol...F the rain

This is all very exciting.  I finished October with 4.14".  First above norm month since at least April.  My manmade pond has some water in it.  I guess the  ground is near saturation so this rain will be runoff into the pond.  It should rise quite a bit, I'm hoping for 5 feet, setting it up for ice skating for the neighbors' kids.  Of course, this is the last thing you need on your northward facing hill.  Maybe the heavy rain axis will set up just north of you and start balancing out the NNE deficits with the CNE surplus.  We will shortly see.

Wow.   Some very impressive rainfall totals coming up over the next week.  7" totals in places.  Thankfully there will not be large melting snowfall runoffs adding  to the rain so hopefully flooding will be minimal.  Some spacing between the Friday/Saturday event and possibilities for next week.  Alex,  I think you will be fine after your past disaster.

Here is 18Z GFS 7 days qpf totals.  Looks like just about all will be liquid not frozen

Just looked at my monthly temp graph.  I have not been above 45F since Oct 21rst.  Pretty impressive, even for up here.  Some 50's this week will feel nice.
