So exciting. Edge of our seat type stuff. 2023, the year of big rainers. 

It really does feel like we’ve had an exceptional number of 4”+ events this year.

So a 60° rainer on Christmas Eve is just another rainer to you if there’s no snow to melt? 

Oh it's Grinchy, but nowhere near as painful without snow on the ground. That massive cutter we had a few years back that wiped out a foot of pack on Christmas Eve was absolutely excruciating. Rain on bare ground sucks, but not like that.

Here it comes 

Effing pouring. This is a nightmare.

Nice 939mb low in clown range GFS. Hazey blown away. Not sure I've ever seen a low modeled that strong in the cold season.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Congrats to all seeing flakes! No dice down here, but hopefully we'll see some before Torchmas.

Lol, would getting more than my entire winter ‘23 season in November qualify as regressing to the mean? I hope so.

Some eye candy for this gloomy day.

I feel like I couldn’t even get a fantasy storm last winter, so I’ll take these teases as a good augury for this year.

I don't think I've ever seen a high rise leaning over after a cane before. That is unreal damage.

Just got a shelter in place warning across Tv for Androssgin county.

This is crazy. Sort of reminds me of the manhunt in Boston for the marathon bombers.

Probably has absolutely no bearing on the severity of the coming winter but people have been loading up on firewood. Customers who usually take one cord are getting two, customers who get one truckload are making multiple trips. Oil prices are high but not any worse than last year. Maybe they're on to something???

WWIII preppers?

Man what an impressive radar towards Boston. Thank God this isn't winter. This thing would've sent the WOR crowd running for the nearest bridge.

Like pawpaw? 

It’s a very tropical taste. Kinda like cherimoya, but many haven’t tasted that either. The selectively bred cultivars are generally sweet with varying intensity of pawpaw taste with a hint of other flavors with it. Some have a hint of banana, mango, melon, vanilla, coconut, or pineapple. When ripe, most have a custardy texture although there are a couple that are more firm like a marshmallow. 
 

The wild ones are full of seeds, less sweet, and tend to have a bad aftertaste. If anyone is near RI they may still have some available at Rocky Point Farm in Warwick Monday night, but check their FB first. Then tend to have a line and sell out in 10 minutes when they go on sale. 

Fascinating. A neighbor of mine has one, but I never knew the fruit was edible.

Lol…never.  Plenty of cold and snow where I go for many decades to come.  No worries whatsoever.  It’s all cyclical. 

We WOR folks are gonna clean up in the next cold Milankovitch cycle. So we got that going for us.

My pawpaw grove is loving the climate change. The more we can keep pushing back that avg first freeze the more ripe fruit I’ll get. 

What's a pawpaw taste like?

A double digit snowfall? From one storm? I didn’t get more than a 3” snowfall. 

Double digit SEASON I should have said.

7 hours ago, WxWatcher007 said:

It can, but I think it’d be hard. Even a fluke storm could make a season higher statistically. I do doubt we go worse than last year this season, but let’s see what things look like in late November. 

Yeah, I couldn't produce double digit snowfall down here last year. It would be very hard to do worse than that.

Final mow of 2023 in the books.

We mow in lieu of a snowblower down here. Does the job with the paltry snows of recent “winters”.

Yore

Not sure how Boston ended up with that kind of gust but yore is yore.

 

Three inches of rain in New Haven while the Berkshires clean up? Some things never change.

Curious to see what happens when those storms SE of LongIsland meet up with the main batch

Although Kev stuff seems to like to redevelop along 925-850 LLJ so something to watch for 4"+. Funny little Stein slot near HVN. 

We take.

Credit where credit is due for the high res models consistently nailing western LI and lower HV. What a storm for them.
