I put you up there with the best of them.

I need my Ginxy decoder ring.

I'm not saying there is zero effect....but the warm or cold pools off the south coast of AK are usually a sign that we have had consistent ridging or troughing. So maybe there is a small effect....but the atmosphere will do what it wants to do. If the overall wave train is oriented to favor a trough or ridge there at 500mb...it will do it. You are correct in that tropical waters and the circulations that develop when deep convection forms, are a much stronger influence on the atmosphere. I still would rather see anomalous warm waters off of AK....but I'm not going to be down and out if the waters there were cooler than normal.

Tamarack reinstalled?

60/58 at BGR. Wow.

39.7 but light frost on rooftops bottom of hill.

Yeah we’ll have to watch that. I have oil, but hopefully it’s not as bad as feared in New England for gas. Oil is bad enough. But you know how it goes. Not in my backyard. There’s actually a nat gas compressor station in N Weymouth. I’m pretty sure that only benefits Maine and mostly Canada lol.

So it looks fairly widespread in uniform.

How much is natural gas per unit in other areas of the country? Gas was pretty cheap up until recently even in New England, so that’s why I am asking. I wonder if the pipeline issue matters a whole lot for us.

Maybe slightly. It’s hard for me to see how waters that are so cool have enough energy to alter hemispheric patterns and have this signal overwhelm others.

It goes both ways though.

I was in Orlando for Erin as luck would have it. Was really cool to experience.

That pool means nothing. It’s a product of the 500mb pattern. That atmosphere is not changing hemispheric patterns because water temps are 53 instead of 49. The NPAC SSTs are as overhyped as the SAI.

Looks they had to cut the weights out of it?

Anything we need to bring for props? Toasters? Ropes? Doggie doo?

I heard the same from a coworker. Driving up rt 3 N near Chelmsford...it was just as you described.

Weeklies still suggest 2nd half of November could be interesting.

It started in Stoughton too..down into Sharon. I think they had nearly a foot. Friends in Walpole claimed 18", but that might be a little high..but you get the point.

This would be a day where Kevin is talking about temps "crashing" into the 20s, while it's in the 40s in ern areas into NH and ME. Get this crap out of the way now with the CAA from the Mid Atlantic nonsense.

My dew just went below 60 an hour ago lol. Can't stand CAA from the southwest.

Yes. I felt the same. I remember hearing it was snowing already Friday aftn.

I guess it could be worse (compare HFD area to TOL), but man did that suck. People have to understand the circumstances too. We were all coming off the horrific late 80s early 90s period. My folks relentlessly beating into my head how winters aren't what they used to be. Tremendous jealousy to see and hear about the winters of the 60s and 70s. Now the anticipation of one of the all timers you have seen so far. NWS, parents, and OCMS all disrobing from NNE to the canal. You wake up to paste and it's pounding. Now at 9a visibility increases and the temp is 33 with shit flakes and drizzle. You think it's temporary..some sort of a crazy lull or dryslot. This can't be happening right? Hours later that gut punch of a feeling...wanting to puke, cry, and put someone through a wall feeling of pure disappointment. I seriously want to vomit as I type this because I would never wish that feeling on anybody. Not even Kevin.

I've been less upset at breaks up with long term relationships compared to that storm. What a rip your heart out event that was for me. All the hype from media, NWS, my parents telling me this would be a storm they had growing up etc. And watching 6" of paste melt while 6 miles NW had 18"
