amarshall Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Well up until now, it seemed like dry weather and cool overnights were gonna help drop the oak leaves. The dry soils are really helping to drop the leaves here locally. I saw a tweet from Tim Kelly that said this is a heavy heavy acorn year. My cars are getting peppered in the driveway. My first year with oaks. I hope they drop quickly and I'm not out raking leaves at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost eerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first year with oaks. I hope they drop quickly and I'm not out raking leaves at Christmas. Huge acorn year for us after a couple of down years. We've actually been watching the squirrels gnawing off the ends of small branches and letting them fall to the ground - some with acorns, some without. Not quite sure what they are up to, but we almost need helmets to sit outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ensembles are way warmer than the op run. I feel like they have been for the last 7-10 days...and it looks like they will be right. Euro ensembles FTW on this warmer pattern. They have a pretty warm CONUS pattern too through mid-month. No real arctic intrusions at all, so I wouldn't expect any early tastes of winter anywhere until we change the arctic pattern up in the N PAC. Its good news for those who are scared of an October snow event though...no sign of anything like that through mid-month if ensembles have the right idea.

Yeah they did a real nice job sniffing the pattern out. Terrific job, actually. It's boring, but it is the only weather we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Awesome morning up here...40s and thick valley fog. 50 degrees and above the fog at the ski resort. Foliage is at peak. Equally awesome are the Boston Bruins who are in Stowe for a few days. They were out drinking with us at the VT Ale House last night...my buddy has pics drinking with Marchand, Lucic, Bergeron, etc. Tukka Rask is awesome (and surprisingly skinny/small) and Chara is the quietest guy but huge. I also met Coach Julien earlier in the night and he's a pretty funny guy. They'll all be in town till at least tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climo pretty much involves fog. I'm guessing that with the warm front ahead of the next low pressure that low clouds/fog may be pretty prevalent this weekend. That southerly flow will also be prohibitive for much warming, but given water is as warm as it's going to be it won't be any kind of pneumonia front like June.

powderfreak Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 A few sunny days and the colors are insane. The view from up high has the valley canopy red now, not green. In fact, I think the foliage is best down in the 700-1500ft elevation band. It's too late now up above 2-2500ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally get afternoon improvement. It's strange really, they are the first to lift in this radiation fog and stratus, but last to lift if it's advection of marine stratus.

OceanStWx Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 cool thanks. i've never been up that way...hoping it's a nice area. Pretty classic Maine. Lots of little fishing communities along the way. If you're looking for a little detour on the way, Red's in Wisicasset gets rave reviews for their lobster rolls.

TalcottWx Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Torch-tastic Octobers filling up the analog list right now. Pretty much every single October on the analogs was a torch except 1992. No reason to think at this point that this year will not follow. Looks warm through mid-month. Going to be tough to get enough cold late in the month to offset it.Might as well get it over with now. I wish we could get some rain or something different though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
