My first morning of the season when I awake to the 4:30 alarm fully aware that I have the 00z runs to catch up on. First morning of the season that I wished I had stayed in bed after looking at said models. Celebrate. No October snow Winter is saved.

Not sure if I can make it up to Pit2 for this. But I wish I were there or back in Shelburne. Until we see some additional compelling runs closer in, the safe bet is for a cold rain for my neck of the woods.

I don't like that look. Just a little too tight for most on the board--congrats to the CNE/NNE crew though.

So---is anyone going to say the ground won't allow for accumulating snow in October?

Congrats, Dave. Do you have anything other than Gardner?

Their season went off the rails because they suck.

A great shade covering.

You might want to go back to geography class, son.

Get used to that gradient. I love how the CRV moved 45 miles east.

Stay safe up there!

I'm glad you're back to making posts I can tolerate. In other news, one and done does not cut it at at mi nuevo casa. Everyone's out blowing leaves (including me). Will probably be back doing it again tomorrow

Retirement must be treating you well, Jerry!

Yup. Kill the thread.

How much for Pete?

1.52 at the neighboring PWS. You can talk about replenishment but not need to continue drought talk. We are no longer in a dry pattern. At the risk of sounding like Kevin, I hope it drys out so I can blow leaves.

Stay safe.

.Every non-gfs model is much wetter for the entire region than the GFS which his west-focused.

What year was the big Halloween nor'easter? 93?

As long as it feels warm in my car.......

Dry slot for Bob, ftw.

If only it were December. It will be fun trying to figure if any of the models are getting things right this winter. Given how sucky they've been, we might have a lot of 24-48 hour surprises. Surprises that could go either way.

My wife and I were just discussing that this morning. Our priority's are things in the house (kitchen, windows, floors, sun-porch conversion). That would have the greatest return should we relocate soon.

Bring on the GFS. I'm channeling Kevin a little in my new digs. I'm no longer taking the 1-and-done approach to leaves. Mowed yesterday and did the second leaf blowing (with the vast majority still on the trees). For many in my neighborhood, lawn upkeep is highly regarded. It's a neighborhood of modest 70's houses. As they get sold, the new owners are doing some significant rehabs. We're doing our part in that regard--some ourselves, some outsourced. Lack of attention to the lawn is increasingly frowned upon. Fortunately for me, I have woods in the back so I just blow things over the stonewall. Our property itself requires a major landscape overhaul--an incredibly steep grade and heavy shade is sub-optimal to say the least. Looks like a lot of folks in the area have tackled/are tackling similar challenges. Tree removal, regrading, retaining walls, new top soil. Cost-wise, this will be a deferred project.
