First very light coating!

I think we will struggle to radiate. Squally/showers and clouds en route in response to the vort max and CAA. 39/37.

Jesus, lol. Already 35F. We still have some clouds and there was a rain shower about an hour ago. Still in the 40s at 42F here.

33F first frost, frozen vehicles and grass.

I usually don't follow the tropics, but I find myself becoming fascinated with this storm. Things have been so boring weather-wise this summer, but we just finished one devastating storm a week ago and now another has formed... with maybe additional in the pipeline?

I mean, it’s also not that exciting as a region so I get that lol… but it’s a start. It’s going to happen eventually. It’s the time of year when folks start stroking the weenie in the middle of the street over 3-minute graupel showers. Or at least it used to be on the forums. We’ve all been a bit more jaded and beaten down (or just older) than a decade ago, ha.

Its the same progression every year lol. When the weather has been as boring as it has, need to find something fun.

Some Thursday AM whitening of the peaks? Given the cold core aloft and timing of the best synoptic scale forcing approaching our western cwa around 21z Weds, still thinking some graupel and a rumble or two of thunder is possible within the heavier convective elements. As dynamics with s/w energy moves east, a period of upslope rain and snow showers is likely on Weds night into Thurs morning, with a light snow accumulation above 2500 feet. Little change has been noted in the latest thermal profiles with progged 850mb temps between -3C and -5C and 925mb temps approaching 0C for a time on Weds night. Our latest total snowfall girds indicate up to an inch possible High Peaks of the Dacks and along the summits of the northern/central Greens from Mt Mansfield to Jay Peak. In addition, with progged 850mb temps hovering near 0C on Weds have utilized the mtn max t adjust tool to highlight much cool temps at summit level, compared to the warmer valleys. Highs generally mid/upper 30s to mid/upper 50s depending upon your elevation.

The irony is today likely is an above normal departure after the afternoon warmth. Like 65/37 is a positive departure here… the min is about normal and the max is above. But anything near normal does feel surprisingly cold, this morning was a nice treat to get to the baseline.

Ha, just feels like we have the same discussion all year round when it gets cold at night. But it makes sense, probably 75 rad nights a year, off-set by maybe one elevation snower if lucky.

Ahhh, a rite of passage into fall is when a bunch of posters get some chilly mornings and then the forum has the fake cold discussion to minimize it.

37F and dense fog.

That low field runway is incredible for being in a local minimum. At 1500ft+ but being the bottom of the barrel… those 2000ft Lake Placid valley elevations are just a bit more mixed.

39/37 at 11pm. It is October after all. It can’t be an absolute torch all the time. Sometimes we do still see normal October weather. It got cold in a hurry this evening. Nighttime temps don’t seem to matter as much to folks, but climate wise these chilly nights are good to see. SLK at 32/31 at 11pm. Coldest station out there.

And that’s literally in the maritime surface layer. Anyone inland by even a few hundred yards may have had a higher max, but is likely cooler right now? BOS is still 63F at just after 10pm. METAR KBOS 060205Z AUTO 32010KT 10SM CLR 17/08 A3017 It’s been a warm stretch, but that looks to be changing. Some below normal days should hopefully be coming up.

Just shy of a half inch of rain overnight. 0.47”

All joking aside, I enjoy this weather immensely. Low humidity warmth that cools off at night. Whatever the departures are, it doesn’t really matter in a practical sense. Is it nice out? Yes. We may see some flakes very soon too, up at the picnic tables. Next week?

Warm weather and fall foliage go hand in hand now. Love it.

Who would be worried about this weather?! What is there to possibly even think about worries?

79F at BDL... 86F last year today. You've got to be loving it too. Oh I’ve been enjoying it 100%. These aren’t negative posts. It’s awesome. 70F even to Caribou. When we do 70s and 80s in October now with some frequency, it’s a nice time to be outside. Just torching departures is how the world rolls.

High of 75F today at MVL (normal 60F). Beautiful torch. Then I see it was 82F last year, guess they are all torches now, ha.

Some white peaks next week?

It’ll be interesting up here. If it’s cloudy and breezy, could see highs in 40s and lows mid-30s. We’ll hopefully get that clearer night to drop sub-freezing. The 850mb temps are definitely there for freeze… just need to decouple.

Remember this when getting plenty of exciting rain in Dec-Feb.

74F so far today up here. What a torch.
