We out. We’ll be windy, but nothing high end here. Also don’t want to read too much into it…but virtually every storm during this active period has been a cutter or coastal hugger…

Yeah, then we'd really be talking about Kevin's grid collapse.

As you note, @weatherwiz, this is a different setup than our usual modeled wind events that fail. I'm very impressed by the level of mixing that's showing up across guidance, and obviously, a NW flow event is a far more common way for us to get big wind across the interior than relying on southerly flow. I could absolutely see max gusts late tomorrow/early Thursday ranging in the 50-65mph range depending on location. The saving grace for damage is that we are past peak with a lot of leaf drop. 06z Euro 12z GFS

Like what I’m seeing on the models for tomorrow/Thursday am, though SLK may not have enough elevation.

Far more interested in this than I was for the Halloween breezes.

I don’t think we had any here but I wasn’t looking closely. Had an instantaneous rain rate of 6.13”/hr.

Groton taking the crown of coldest coastal spot in CT so far this fall.

38.5 at WXW1—41 at HFD 29.3 at WXW2—25 at SLK

In CT for now. We just have to get on the board however we can. I don’t want to hear people wanting to trade a minor/moderate short range opportunity for some fantasy big dog. The 2020s have shown how we can lose both. And to be fair, we’ve been fairly active tropical wise—it just hasn’t been high end. Isaias, Henri, and some weaker ones in there. Say nothing of Atlantic Canada cooking and our Oct 2021 Cape “cane”.

I wouldn’t put any stock in verbatim storm depictions (I know you know this), but it does look like the pattern lends itself to a few cold shots that could bring first flakes as more nuisance/novelty stuff.

Yeah first third of November doesn’t look that warm to me. In fact, I think we have a good chance for first measurable (.1”) away from the coast.

Low of 29.5° at WXW1

I leave a good amount behind. Some of that is by choice—it’s been great for summertime biodiversity in my backyard. I mulch as much as I can but full leaves work too if I put them near my tree line. Some of that is because the trees drop at different times and I don’t have the time or will to get back there several times in November. It’s beautiful in October, but a pain in November.

How good is the cyclone rake? Every year I say I’m going to get something to deal with these leaves and I don’t.

We take. I think.

My wife gets viscerally angry about this.

Seems like it was barely measurable at WXW2, but .1” puts me on the board and there are no complaints about that.

Gusted to 30 and my anemometer is at 7ft.

Is it ok to track both my locations this winter?

My wife reports a car topper. We're on the board, people! 33.3 at WXW2.

Now that Melissa is gone I’ve moved from tropical to late fall mode. With one of my locations now being SLK I’d love to post here too representing the western portion of the BTV NWS area, if y’all will have me.

Incredible that the season—an extraordinarily condensed one—ended with possibly the strongest Atlantic landfall in recorded history.
