I’ll do a review soon but there’s exceptional RI taking place in the EPAC.

I know I’m in the minority, but given the epic blowtorches we’ve seen recently—including all of last January—I found the near Christmas blast and Montreal Express in February to be awesome. Again in the minority here, but winters here are far too fickle to put snow as the only thing worth caring about. That’s a recipe for misery. Of course snow is first, but I’ll take any winter—ice, pingers, and cold, especially big dog cold.

I was just coming in to post. It’s all time RI in that part of the basin and an all time bust. Broke the RI record from Patricia and the 24 hour forecast from models were dangerously horrific. I know from personal experience that the ones you miss haunt you as much if not more than the joy that comes with the successful chases.

What a day. Favorite season.

Low of 35.8°

Average would be a win. Having the season not reside from Feb 15-March 15 would be a massive win.

I was in Hartford for that one. Moved to DC in late 2013. All timer. Lived in DC for a lot of those. Moved back to CT after that 2017-18 season Another big dog will arrive eventually. I really just want to see a classic megalopolis mauler that makes everyone happy.

Impressive in its own right. This isn't all in SNE but since 2013-14 I personally can only recall 12+ imby from 12/16/20 and the 2016 Blizzard when I lived in DC. Maybe one got close in that epic 2013-14 season in DC. That remains my favorite winter.

That’s how it is now down here in the hinterlands half a decade (minus a near normal year) and counting.

Climo makes cold just about useless through at least the first third to half of December too… There’s nothing wrong with normal. That’s about a 61 high/40 low here. Today is glorious. Crisp morning and beautiful afternoon.

I’ll enjoy a few days of warmth but I prefer the step downs. Normal would be totally fine until Dec 1 for me.

Low of 37.6°

We’re on to winter?

Overperformer so far. .85

.55 so far today

We rain

Not the best season for foliage, but it’s still pretty solid here.

I’ve had water pool in my backyard from all the rain to the point that it’s nearly impossible to mow to my desired height.

I take it this is bad too. Just started showing on the grass after the last rainer.

Yeah a bit of a forecast bust down there today.
