weathafella Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 When you have 2 trees and a postage stamp rakes are fine. When you live in the hills with acres of trees and woods you don't use a rake. Lol . It's backpack blowers and 16 HP blowers on wheels Only if you insist on having the perfectly manicured suburban lawn in the middle of the woods.

CoastalWx Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 T-Blizz....the pattern all along had the coldest anomalues over the Plains and western lakes. It's really not that chilly here..just normal to a little below here. Maybe a little cooler relative to normal where you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should clear out some of those trees for more lawn. You'd be forced to start a second lawn thread to keep up. Better yet, we can start a wood cutting/splitting/stacking thread.

There isn't a person that owns a home with a big yard and flower beds that doesn't have leaf blowers. I don't see landscapers using rakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Nope, it's over. I'm a little superstitious about how early I want the cd to come in...last year was a perfect example for Blizz of why early cold can be bad. It was cold in Oct and Novie with flakes flying and great snowmaking weather at the ski resort...but that seems to be able to only sustain itself so long. The the first like 3 weeks of Dec were an all out torch and snowpack disappeared up to over 3000ft. I really think mid-November is the perfect time for a cold pattern, not mid-Oct. The 4-8 week period that patterns seem to cycle sometimes really screws us in December when you actually want snow....just for some cold days we want in Oct/Nov.

CT Rain Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 For the weenies expecting D8-D14 to be pretty cold here all it will take is one cutter to torch us - and at this point I think the ensembles point to that with the core of the chill going over the western GL.

I agree. I think we are more inclined to see a cutter type scenario given the look of the pattern and that would mean the brunt of the "cold" will be off to our north and west...however, some of that would certainly slide through once the system slides through but the question would be, is it short term or more long term?

CT Rain Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Man are you against the cold season coming. Your heat will be on next Sunday Euro has nice +10 850s on Sunday with a warm front blowing north and a primary over Detroit and maybe some secondary/triple point over Albany.

Looks like a pattern that would deliver first flakes to like Chicago or Detroit before New England. No reason to rush into things in October though...just let it play out. I feel like good winters usually start with a Midwest trough in the fall, but I may just be pulling shiznit out of my arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mentioned the other day we could see a yo-yo type deal with a cutter thrown in, but then was violently rebutted by someone telling me it can't happen with a -NAO. The heart of the cold will be west, but the biggest thing people should take out of this is that the pattern if handed to us in winter would be a treat. This time of year with whacky wavelengths....it won't act the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
