Keep in mind that the cool season equations were implemented 10/1 and the transition buffer ended on 10/15.

23 at least at SFM too in the sand pit.

This is why I hate frost advisories. It is so difficult to know exactly when frost will form. I vote hard freeze at 28 and be done with it.

Just passed Dennis' house the other day for the first time. They still have his NOAA observer sign up despite his passing last December. We're absolutely seeing big cool season changes here. We know we have less snow cover days outside of the mountains. But we are also seeing more of what happened in December. Snow that falls in the mountains is "more ripe" and ready to melt when we have the inevitable rainer. In the past the snow would just absorb that rain and we'd move on to the next snow pattern.

The messenger shuffle was really just Ekster using the weather machine to screw western New England out of QPF the whole time.
-
There is absolutely an argument to be made that urbanization around ASOSs is increasing temperatures by some margin, but like that's where people live and those are real temperatures. We know temps are rising in both urban and rural settings, and land use changes are absolutely a driver of changing climate (it's just not a fossil fuel driven change).

That is usually our first point of contact. Find the CoCoRaHS observers who have a solid reporting history. I know we've reached out to a few by CON. The problem is that you have to be within so many miles of the ASOS and a similar elevation, etc. It's hard to find dedicated weather weenies that meet all those criteria.

Yeah I was going to advertise this too. It's getting harder and harder to find someone to do this for us. We lost AUG years ago and still haven't replaced the observation, for the state capital no less.

The winter equipment install happens today for @tunafish, the season is officially open for business.

I had a great fruit set this year too, but I think leaf curl got me and the fruit shriveled up and fell off. I have one lonely peach left. (Redhaven) -
Algorithms might be getting tricked by some of the bad data due to scatter spikes. But I could see siggy hail in there.

Just a primer for Debby

I haven't been at the office since April, so I suspect I know nothing. I hadn't seen any email traffic about it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't being discussed on the internal chat.
-
Two feet after the equinox to claw my way to normal snowfall. Just how you draw it up in the pre-winter meetings.
-
As someone who has never experienced totality, I'm sure it looks the same way just before totality arrives, but seeing the eclipse shadow pass JUST to our north was pretty cool in its own right. We took the kids out of school and drove as far north as my in-laws (99.12%), but we weren't about to trap ourselves in the car with them in the traffic to the north. Dark enough to see Venus and Jupiter, the kids got a kick out of it.

Who started early on happy hour near AFN?

Was he just coming home from last night?
-
I'll stick with what USGS goes with. They will revise as they get more data too.
-
At that time WSO CON forecast for all of NH, WSO PWM had everything south of a Jackman to Danforth line, and WSO CAR had the rest.
-
Yeah, we're down hard here. It's been the easiest morning after a snowstorm I've ever had.
-
1982 wasn't bad. Little lighter for BTV, much bigger for SNE.
-
I just wasn't convinced the dry slot would saturate as well as it did. Models started getting a better handle of it 00z the night before for at least a few hours of deformation banding, but when that DGZ is dry I get worried about forecasting big totals. I think we did a really good job of keeping the QPF but knocking the ratios way down so we didn't have some obscene widespread 24+ forecast sneak out the door.
-
The reality is that the previous observer was probably equally far from PWM, just on the cold side. I haven't been down to the peninsula today, but I'm guessing they have less snow downtown that I do.
-
I was having a real hard time buying an additional 6" after 12z for a lot of locations yesterday, but it is looking like it is going be pretty widespread.

WMUR also reporting 9.5 storm total.
