Finally after months of little qpf and boring weather things are looking to become very active just in time for cold season. Still a bit too early for us in NNE but Mid October snow is not very uncommon especially in elevation.

Monday's 12Z Euro has a nice noreaster for New England next weekend. Still way out there but a cold storm with perhaps elevation storm. Mid October elevation snow is not very far fetched for us. Although I assume northern areas now have mostly bare trees but Central New England still foliage is still on the trees. Want to get all the leaves down before any heavy wet snow threats or high wind threats.

GFS has .25 to .50" for most of us for tomorrow's storm. Euro is much more bullish.

50F Dark blue skies overhead. Cloud line slowly receding south. Models have been all over the place with precip tomorrow. One run looks great and the next not so great for me. Onto the Euro. I agree with Brian's comments about plants going dormant. Other than my 1" rain event in late Sept lots of .20" type deals but they don't sink in. Wonder how much a storm would have to produce to a soaking down a few feet in earth where mature plants/trees get their moisture to store for winter?

Watching the storm on Alex's webcam. Really heavy rain and a ton of lightning. Hope we can get the line into my area in next hour before it falls apart.

Crazy storm on Alex's webcam. Heavy rain and so much lightning. Very impressive for Oct 10th

I'm sniffing out a good rain threat at hour 282 on the GFS

Wonder if we can shoot the gap again? We are just a bit too far south for the fropa qpf later today and then early next week the moisture from Delta and the fropa don't connect enough so we slip through an area of light precip. Have not had a drop of water in my pond since the end of June. No ice skating this year unless we start turning on the faucet fast.

That picture of this chaser is in the eye of Michael. It's a great video to watch. The most intense hurricane chase I have ever seen. When I click on it the link brings me to Hurricane Delta. Just quickly looked at it but don't think it had a cleared out eye at landfall

Wow. Josh made it to Cancun. He is the man. He must have more hurricane intercepts than anyone else in the world. This one should be intense. Looking at the graphics the eye should pass around 8am. Hopefully it doesn't speed up so he can get some good daylight video within the eye.

I haven't followed him in the past couple of days. I assumed he was staying put in the US. He's the man. Going to get another major under his belt. Wow

Poor goes out here for 2-5 seconds probably once a week. We bought a new washing machine 18 months ago and it has gone haywire. The service guy came out and said the brief outages are horrible for the motherboard. He told us to unplug the washing machine when not in use. The new Mother board was $380. Ridiculous. The old simpler appliances and machines lasted years not anymore.

It looks like this drought is not going to end anytime soon. Models are very dry going forward. It's lucky that we had that widespread precipitation event on Sept 30th. Looking forward many parts of New England will have .10" to .50" over the next 2 weeks. PF's area and far NNE looks to do better. It's a good thing the growing season has ended.

.51F .21" for me sun coming out

Mount Washington 32.7 Light snow grains

I see a log and a dog. Glad I got up there last weekend

Rain total 1.14". Peak wind gust 38mph. Finishes the month at 1.45"

Heavy Rain S15 G 36 1.03" so far

69/68 Light to moderate rain. South wind 14 g 38 .64"

Riding the axis. .07" already down. Drought ova

72/65 Light rain. First dripage in weeks

Nice 2" soak for me tonight. Will need every bit of it. Good luck to those in eastern sections. I just got in from a 17 mile ebike trip so have not looked at anything except new Euro. More rain chances on Fri/Sat and then potential for something to come out of the tropics and merge with a frontal system early next week??? Droughtstein looks like a big dent will be put in it by this time next week

Seemed like a lot of smoke around today. Just looking at the visible satellite picture you could clearly see it. Unrelated to the smoke over New England new fires have stated in California again. Smoke blowing SW.

Those picture comparisons are awesome

Diane, it was nice to meet you today. Beautiful car ride from my area in Plymouth through Franconia Notch to the Mt Washington Valley. It was heavily overcast through Franconia Notch but with a downsloping south wind it was much brighter in your area with mostly just a high overcast. I agree with you that you are slightly past peak. The area from just north of Plymouth through Lincoln and into the notch was at a brilliant peak. Probably the best foliage I have ever seen. The lack of rainfall, wind and the drought seems to have made this an exceptional peak in NNE. Wind and rain will bring down a lot of leaves this week. Everything seems to be running a couple of weeks early. My drone flight around Bretton Woods today. Wish we had had bright sunshine
