    We should have an ok weekend up north, dry weather and able to get outside in the mtns. 48/47 this evening, feels like September. Been a nice couple days. Average is 68/44, yesterday was 67/42. Today max of 70F. We should be hitting the 30s without a lot of difficulty this time of year. Last night was close at 39-41F. But it has been mild.

    Holy shit is right. Damn those are big tomato plants.

    It shifted very slightly south though from 00z. It had 2” to Canada almost. Now tries to spare us a little? It’s been flooding the whole region with water for a few runs.

    Local PWS dipped to 39F. MVL is right there at 40-41F too. SLK at 31F.

    48F here. Feels like a fall evening on the final dog walk. SLK down to 41F already, ha. That place is cold.

    This 18z GFS would be much appreciated. Pretty dry regionwide through Day 10+. What rain is there is this weekend.

    Beautiful day finally. Fall chill in the air as the shadows grow right now.

    That NAM run ruins the weekend up here. Pass.

    I do think it’s a bit behind some years. But it always seems to a good show when it arrives. The length of time with great color does factor into the season more when the peak is usually good regardless. Also, today sucked wx wise, ha. Very dark, small droplet sheet rains on NNW winds. Just hour after hour of moderate j.10-.20”/hr breezy rains up at work. No outdoor time, miserable to just be walking around.

    Great comparisons… seems pretty normal all the sudden. One year in past 15 with “low color” down into CT.

    How can you say it’s ugly when it hasn’t happened? I’m confused. I don’t think there’s any spin except it seems early to cancel the foliage season. We are usually October 10-20 for peak up here so we’ll see.
  12. powderfreak
    Is that what he’s alluding too? I thought I missed an inside joke or something about the foliage on September 19.

    A bit early in the evening to be drunk posting? The leaves do get more vibrant with each IPA though.

    This would’ve been a good one in the winter, ha. Mountain got crushed today in upslope. I’ve got around 0.50” in the Stratus in town (2-day total of only ~0.80”)… but the base of the ski area picked up three times the amount. Look at that gradient over a few miles. Like 12 hours straight of 2x to 3x the rainfall rate up at the ski area compared to town. In winter it’s like cleaning 16” off the car and driving 7 minutes to find 5” in town, lol.

    Must be quite the difference between the Op and it’s Ensemble.

    Brutal day today with wind-whipped upslope rain and mid-50s. Base of ski area only had 0.27” yesterday but over 1.00” so far today on NW flow. Very cold-season like evolution… miss the first round to the east and then get it on the cyclonic backside flow.

    The entire radar loop from afternoon through this evening looks like a cold season storm. Still convective at times, but this phasing of the upper level energies is reminiscent of colder times. Northern and southern streams phasing across New England, dynamic shortwaves.
  18. powderfreak
    We’ve had half that rainfall. Right on the gradient all day… 0.35” here, 0.22” base of ski area, 0.10” on west side of Mansfield.
  19. powderfreak
    That stuff is blossoming between NYC and POU… even some recent lightning… responding to the dynamics aloft.
  20. powderfreak
    Max of 60F so far today with a lot of misery mist and not much actual rainfall. Dark day. Currently 59F.
  21. powderfreak
    The sun setting at the same time all year at like 6pm must be boring AF. Just 6am to 6pm all the time. I’m not a fan of it being dark at 4pm but gladly take the trade off of light at 4:30am to 8:30pm in the summer.
  22. powderfreak
    Yeah I need that 9pm light to still be outside in summer. Coming down from a hike in ambient light at 9-9:30pm is always fun. The extra time outside after work day is key to me.
  23. powderfreak
    29.99" here during that time frame... September has been dry up in NW NE, only 2" so far. A meh 4"/month rate after the last 3 months . September rain swath to the S/E of here.
  24. powderfreak
    Miss the hurricane now. We didn’t have the reverse, reverse psychs and congrats others, congrats me, I’ll root for you but hope it’s me, etc for rainfall discussions for the past week.

    @MaineJayhawk had an incredible photo of a wave exploding up a cliff in Acadia. Sorry if I’m blowing up your spot, but the power of nature is awesome.
