Even if it's a no name, it's far more compelling to watch a guy win his first PGA tourney and break down on the 18th than it is to watch a no name fire back to back to back rounds in the 80s and collect 6 figures.

If we're talking strictly storms that made landfall but late, Sandy is right there for one of the latest. I see two unnamed storms in the 1800s (1861 and 1899) that made landfall in early November, but that's it. Even 1899 was more of an inland runner that passed through CT.

If I had to guess, it's probably on the dock at the waste water treatment plant.

The Mass Bay buoy off Cape Ann is running at the top of its range of mean for the last 20 years at 1 m, but is also very warm at 20 m and 50 m. Unfortunately I can't get the same data for Long Island Sound.

I read the book in preparation for the series, but the cool thing about the book is that there is no definitive account of how things happen. Like it will say so and so end up falling from a window. But were they pushed, did they jump, or did they fall, because there are three different accounts ongoing through the book. So HBO can go in any of those directions with many of the deaths. They've already made a couple changes from the book that I would say so far really enhance the TV story.

Probably lurking for some event in 2007-2008 when I discovered this place's predecessor existed.

Own (8 year loan after tax credit was applied).

I have to murder my grubs first, although the steined dead grass is probably doing that on its own.

Given that 200 gallons might, might get me through 2 months of a warmer winter stretch up here the heat pump at worst is net neutral on cost. Paired it with solar panels to offset the electricity, so once the heat pumps are paid off I estimate we'll save ~2000 a year.

Before I leave here, I'm hoping one walks away into my trunk and finds it's way into the garden at home.

Yeah Waterboro, Lyman, Alfred. At least a half dozen gauges that I saw.

I picked up Fire and Blood (book it was based on) 3 weeks ago and thought no chance do I finish in time for the premier, but it was really good and I couldn't put it down.

One of the cases where dual-pol may actually overestimate QPE by guessing tropical rainfall for too many pixels, but just blows legacy out of the water by being dynamic like that. There are several gauges over 6 and 7 inches (too many to discount in my opinion), and that's way closer to dual-pol than legacy's 1-2 inches.

Not sure what you've done to your hydrangeas, but I have 2 inches less than your area this summer and my full sun hydrangeas are full and flowering and I haven't touched them with a hose.

Can't be his place. I hope he got permission from his neighbor to go take pics of their garden.

It's a very tropical style rain. Low echo centroid, with much of the cell below the freezing level.

Best severe of the season.

Louis right now at home

Just invert the colors for a snow map during a SWFE.

Halloween Ale or bust.

Just @ me next time.

GYX is actually participating in an experiment with a new visualization tool, mainly for support services, but I think it's going to have pretty large forecasting impacts too. The website allows you to play with the so called Grand Ensemble (GEFS, EPS, CMCEPS), including adding or removing members, comparing differences, etc. But you can also view individual cluster groups (pants tent stuff). For instance here, clusters 4 and 5 are the wet ones (12z run) and both feature higher than mean heights across northern Maine and the Maritimes. i.e. you increase the gradient and resulting easterly flow into New England.

Deep easterly flow is famously dry in New England. My quibble is definitely with his "always", as convection will induce a circulation of its own that can either enhance or diminish moisture transport. The circulation will be counter-clockwise around the convective feature, so a SW/NE oriented line of convection would tend to shunt moisture east. SE/NW oriented would do the opposite.

Mid season form already.

Stopped to grab a pizza to bring to work and lo and behold.
