Yup. 52F here off a low of 26F. Warming up after a cold morning. October as it should be. Seasons in seasons?

Everything is better with sunshine, no need for dark rainy days.

Just ran the past two weeks precipitation... what a change from before up here. It couldn't be any more polarized over the past month and a half in the NW third of New England. Pattern (or luck) change for sure as all the sudden, every event wants to rain more than expected. Prior 27 days... 0.15-0.35" Last 14 days... 3-6" It's an average of 0.30-0.40" of rain every day for 14 days. Soaked.

Yup, 33.6F here. High of 52F but with dews in the mid-20s and crystal clear skies, not surprising the bottom has dropped out as soon as the sun went behind the ridge. It definitely had that appeal of a cold evening with low dews, no clouds and diminished wind. I was hiking and up in the shadows on the upper east side around 4pm (it's crazy that the sun sets on Upper Nosedive at like 3pm this time of year) it got very cold very quickly at 3,500ft.

All tax dollars will go towards funding a cloud seeding program to increase snowfall. We will also give every household their own industrial snow gun to create however much snow they need to live their lives happily. Those living in wide/broad warmer valleys will get snow guns that perform better in warmer temperatures. The type of snow gun you receive from the state government will depend on the elevation of your property.

Because it’s find the lowest total and worry that it’s right.

Damn! Beats my 74 miles, lol. That’s incredible with the foreground stuff. Looks like MWN should be the next town over.

There is certainly no garbage time in snowfall. It is welcomed at any time. I know ORH has said it plenty, but late-season snow is so much better than the alternative of 40F and rain. It's going to be cold and precipitating, might as well be snow.

Ha! I picture the family running to the basement in panic and you just lean back, take a sip of wine, relax and take the phone out of your pocket to see what's up on AMWX and radar.

That's awesome. That's a solid wind gust to be measured by a PWS. Is that your highest since moving there?

Looks like your area got some good rains too... 1.30" so far at MPV ASOS.

It’ll come at some point. They are averages for a reason. Sooner or later it’ll swing back in the other direction. Maybe next April or May you guys get a 15” month or something lol. Flood watches for weeks, and everyone laughing about when it was dry.

Ha, yeah it was breezy this afternoon out of the SW but when it started raining it went dead calm . I bet your area does real well on the south and SW wind like we had today, seems you’ve been noticing real gusty stuff on that direction. I don’t know what’s behind your place (like literally behind it, forest?) but given that view and your field, you seem especially exposed to those SW/S wind flow more so than other directions. Probably get some great mixing in the lee of the Presidentials on that flow too. Be interesting to see what you get when we have one of those 90kt low level H85 southerly jets during a strong winter low going west of us.

Crawford Notch looks like it’s about to get smoked.

Almost two hours of thunder and lightning and almost an inch of rainfall... but no wind with the storms and nothing remotely close to severe here. Just a heavy rainer. However now that it’s ended, the NW winds are honking here... much higher winds than anything during the t-storms. CAA beginning.

Looks like 0.95” in the Stratus unless we get another round. Crazy to go September 1st through 27th with only 0.35” and then do ~5.5” in the next two weeks. I guess Mother Nature loves her averages.

Nice! There’s been some broad rotation with these today, that looks like the tightest though hard to tell with the beam height.

Thunder and lightning for almost two hours. Another strong shot of rain though.

This has been some serious rain. PWS around me are ranging from 0.80” to 1.26”. I’ll head out to check the Stratus once it stops. Definite pattern change here after the dry September run. I’ll have to add it up later but it’s been very wet since September 27th.

Looks like 40-50mph at 1,400ft.

Beastly looking cell crossing I87 in NY into the Champlain Valley.

Best thunder and lightning of the summer lol. Just cracking booms all around. Severe warning out for here, pouring but no wind for now.

Yeah JSpin that’s how I felt about it, below normal but nothing “bad”... though I do think that the overall tenor on this forum last winter made me almost feel lucky. In a psychological assessment we have known on this forum that how one does relative to the region-wide tenor of winter does impact the lasting impression. It could be getting a “not as bad” winter as others or on the flip side we’ve seen people grade otherwise great winters as semi-let downs because nearby someone got smoked (2015 comes to mind for folks just outside the crush zone). As much as we wish it didn’t matter, that “lasting impression” of winter does have some relativity to it. So like last year a total dumpster fire elsewhere feels ok to get 80-100% in NNE.

Oh lock it in then. Thanks man!

Wet run of the Euro too... plenty of QPF. GGEM agrees on wet.
