BOS hit freezing early this morning. That tends to occur within a week of 11/10 each year and 2024 is no exception.

That's a funny poke to Kevin....lol.

Drove through your neck of the woods today. Windy and a tad chilly.

0Z/13 MET with a low of 22 tomorrow night at Logan. Sell.

Incidentally I’ve noticed the squirrels in IL/IN where I’ve been for the past 10 days are really tubby. Not so much in sne at least when we left on Halloween. I think the Midwest may have a good snow winter which makes sense with the better proximity to troughing in the inter mountain west.

I remember that summer of 1966 that tamarack alluded to. Crazy times. The current pattern appears to be getting wetter moving forward.

Well I’m covering my ac unit today. Of course we’re leaving town for 2 weeks tomorrow so it’s a safe bet that it won’t be needed until May at the earliest.

We stayed at an AirBNB in Underhill about a year and a half ago. Didn't realize it was that snowy there....

While the mother of all grinches melted it with surgical precision in time for Christmas morning, that was a bigger snow event region wide on 12/17 than we'd seen in quite some time in December. I think that's the one that dropped 12-16 widespread in SNE with up to 3 feet in parts of NH into the southern tier of NY state (BGM). What was your total for that event? I know 2019 gave you a 20 spot roughly in the first few days of the month but my recollection is not much after the first week. So from a snow perspective, 12/20 was better than most Decembers but the holiday melt down put a bitter taste in many mouths. And the 12-16 in SNE was the only significant event of the month. Nevertheless, temperature departure was a modest +1.3 at BOS. Despite the negatives, I'd take that this year.

nearing the end of October: Hopefully the SAI won't fail this year.....

I think we’ll have wetness mid November into January and it should be warm and on the dry side February. We’ll see. Is this the year you had the very wet July?

Do you expect dry conditions for the rest of your life?

We’ll have a cold day or 2 next week before the next torch.

Mid December Boston always works.

lol….actually I bought it about 17 years before I worked at the VA. But we had some great parties off site off hours.

lol….I bought the album in college

I’m talking about the weather pattern but you knew that….

Pattern kind of resembling 2020 as we go into November. Is this a presidential election thing?

No google for me: Neal Young-great song

How anyone can say it hasn’t been an orderly step down and indeed increasingly autumnal is beyond me. Everything seems on schedule at least imby.

You seeing new activity? I went out about an hour ago and could make out the faintest streaks but there's no way I could get a usable pic.

That’s a quick recovery from last night’s ERC and possible mild interaction with the tip of the Yucatan. Looks quite robust and ramping again.

So true! My even older neighbor turned his on weeks ago. My threshold is mid 60s in the downstairs areas mid day. So I flipped it on. It will kick on occasionally overnight after warming us to 68-my preferred temperature in the cold season.

Turned on the heat. That means summer is over.

Grass isn’t green at my house 3 miles from Simmons.
