I truly think people were just too early with the assessment. We continue to get decent orange and yellow now in the understory, even after the crowns have lost many leaves.

Ok yeah the trolling for sure if that's what it is. I just look at it like people are posting different things. Get a 300hr snow map, get a 300hr torch map, whatever. I guess I have been naive with how loaded the whole discussion has gotten. I just like looking at the stats and seeing how we are going. And it's been warm. Not that it's good or bad or whatever. Just is what it is.

Ahhh yeah there seems to be some knee jerk reaction that’s pre-loaded. I separate all that out and just look at what the weather is doing and has done. Not what caused it or blame or action needed. That does sound like it’s probably a lot of it though now that you mention it. The reaction feels overblown to the statement, like this is what the response is: “Man, this October has been near record warm, we just can’t cool off. +6.5 in the means.” ”Did you just say you wanted to levy a carbon tax on my snowmobile?! Take away my oil, gas and truck? It’s cyclical dumbass.”

Do you interpret warm talk as people moaning? I never really did but it seems like you think every time it’s mentioned it’s a bad thing. Is it better phrased like the bolded above? Nice lil warm up, feels good this time of year? I don’t get the angst with mentioning that its warm when it’s been that way.

45F here…. Rack up another +10 on the min. We can’t seem to get dews under like 43F, just keeps recycling maritime puke and stratus into here. Never see the sun either.

Some nice yellow color in there.

Fire up the snow guns, ha.

We still haven’t had a below normal day at MVL. +6.5F on the month. Max of 87F during the record torch. Our average low is 35F. The coldest it’s gotten all month is 39F. This has to be near record warm or the record for October so far.

Yeah that was all-time October max temps up here from valleys to summits. Though I think MWM fell a degree short. Super impressive heat overall.

We all make life choices… lol. Part of me thinks the Cape would be at least interesting for wind and nor’easters. I could trick myself into interesting weather out on the cape, watching the ocean, etc. Stuff me in like PVD and then I’d crack.

Economies can’t always grow and bring good times. A healthy period of struggle that we haven’t even sniffed yet, is likely the catalyst for realistic change/resetting of the markets.

Stowe Security ran into this guy this evening while doing their rounds. He better hide, hunting season starts soon.

You really can’t find any housing stock available on the wages of the people who actually allow these towns to function. The worker-bees.

Hopefully. Stake looked lonely yesterday.

But everyone has said there’s been no foliage?

That is absolutely absurd… going full months between accumulating snowfall in CT in the winter.

Cuts west? GFS/GGEM/ECMWF/ICON

This type of trough on November 1st wouldn’t really do anything for me as the cold shot in the flow.

One Methuen yard with thigh high grass?

It may be a poor year but I think it’s also late. I bet some will see some half decent color at times and have written it off too early.

For every hundred acorns in your yard you get 1” of snow.

Rain picked back up here around 5-6pm? Been just a persistent light rain, only 0.07” this evening but has felt Iike October with mid-40s and wet leaves type of evening.

I’ve heard most lodging around here is gone already. Crazy for mud-season in VT, ha. I still think the chances of clouds and stuff is so very high that time of year but maybe we get lucky!

Down to 39F by midnight would have certainly frosted or even froze, but we cannot time it right this fall so far. Low stratus rolled in and up to 46F by 4am and NW flow orographic showers this morning.

GFS looks sort of like a pattern where it eventually snows before freezes, ha.
