To be clear, our coastal a few weeks ago never became subtropical, but I do find this pretty funny. Tropical Weather Outlook NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 800 PM EDT Sun Oct 18 2026 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America: Off the East Coast of the United States: A storm-force non-tropical low pressure area is developing along a frontal boundary tonight off the southeast coast of the United States. This low is likely to move slowly and erratically over the next couple of days while it initially remains non-tropical. Later this week, if the system stays over the Gulf Stream, environmental conditions could become more conducive for the low to develop some subtropical characteristics. A subtropical cyclone could form over the second half of this week as the system begins moving generally northeastward, offshore of the eastern United States. Regardless of development, this system will cause high winds, coastal flooding, and dangerous surf along portions of the U.S. East Coast. Please consult statements and warnings from local National Weather Service offices and the Weather Prediction Center for more information, along with High Seas Forecasts and Storm Warnings issued by the National Weather Service. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent. * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent. && High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service can be found under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php $$ Forecaster Papin

Narrowly escaped a big time hit.

NHC tagging this next offshore storm as a lemon.

Afternoon

We’re also still pretty cold. Temp has dropped from about 33 when I woke up to 31.4 now on a light NW wind.

Warm and rainy? @ineedsnow waking up in a panic right now

That's fine. We enjoy and appreciate every opportunity to see snow.

.4" on the board!

Measurable snow has arrived in the high peaks. 32/30 at SLK with .75 viz 32.9/31 at WXW1-SN

39.9° here. We’ll see how much moisture hangs back. Overnight was prime time for us in my first cold season here last year. Let’s keep that up.

High of 60.4. Down to 41.5 now. Sky has a snow look to it lol so hopefully we can produce something tonight/tomorrow.

Funny enough, my wife hates snow, but she had a fantastic professional opportunity out of the blue. How could I say no? Especially when 2 of the prior 3 winters were sub 20” seasonal snowfalls in my part of CT. Life is short and youth is shorter. Take big swings.

There’s just something so beautiful about watching the seasonal change. Not to wax poetic, but it’s such a wonderful reminder of the ephemeral nature of life. We only get so many of these. Enjoy them all.

This. Some of my family was asking if I wanted to go south for Christmas when I usually host up here. I politely declined and told my wife separately HELL no. I’ve had plenty of snowless winters in the south and the CT river valley and now that we have a place in SLK you think I’m going to give this up for a 70° Christmas? Absolutely not.
