    Mine are ahead of schedule.

    We’re all speak for BIrving but I’m almost sure he meant the dec-feb aggregate.

    So here’s the question. When I hear first frost I’m thinking frost otg or needing to be scraped off the car. 2M temps are often above freezing since ground temperatures can be colder. So what do you mean by first frost? First freeze for BOS averaged 11/7 in the dataset 1961-90. I’m not sure it’s substantially different now actually.

    Bookbinder one of the authors of the latest NHC disco. Is that Evan Bookbinder who was at NWS FO in MO somewhere and a poster here back in the day and on irc way back 25 years ago?

    Was up in Wonalancet yesterday for a nice hike along a stream with guys I’ve been hiking with for 50 years. Actually was decently warm. I was staying in Wakefield and by the time we got there for dinner it was lightly raining. I drove home last night snd rain increased once south of the Merrimack. Pouring when I got home. It’s trying to clear today but the garden got a nice long drink yesterday.

    We might as well begin with a smattering of snow in Siberia. Another winter looms.

    You could but unfortunately you won’t…

    I love way above normal late September into October with a flip around Halloween. That type of pattern often bodes well for winter.

    I used to do that but I now have been setting it at 79 on the pike. Have been doing that for 5 years with no issues. It sounds like troopers validate that strategy.

    It may be too early but a wooly bear caterpillar seen by my wife had an extremely narrow orange band indicative of a severe winter. Not a prediction-just a folklore observation.

    Take the blizzard out and you still have a record breaker 2 weeks earlier. But I get the point.

    Regarding Hazel which was mentioned a page back, that had the most impressive winds of any that I’ve personally experienced. Not much rain but my vivid memory of the tops of railroad utility poles cartwheeling down my street a mile from the tracks has been indelibly etched into my consciousness for the past 70 years despite Hazel being over land after landfalling over the SC/NC border and then rocketing NNW. I also have a less vivid memory of snow falling while we were trick or treating 2 weeks later.

    My school decided to keep us there until the worst of Donna had passed. I used to walk to and from school-I was in the 8th grade for Donna, but in this case my mother came to pick me up and we drove home. Watching the winds and rains unexpectedly nail us while we were in school was amazing especially since I had science class and the student teacher we had was kind of a wx weenie. 3 months later we were entering one amazing winter!

    For you and me, Carol, Edna, Hazel, Donna. Nothing really has approached that 1954-60 experience since in my lifetime. I was not here for Gloria.

    I traffic light-in a city of 21M up to the 2020s.

    Never ever sell assets during a steep downturn. In general, unless you’re a day trader, stay the course. A diversified portfolio will protect against extremes. But locking in losses is simply dumb. If you’re > 5 years from retirement, equities should dominate. Heck even within retirement I have a healthy % of assets in equities. But I have protection with other instruments available to avoid a catastrophe. Always think big picture.

    It’s considered one of the big 4 and to my knowledge the official climo site of Hartford.

    I just came in from a 7 mile walk. Schvitzing like a muthufukka.
