Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 This months been awful for sunshine, most day's have been solidly overcast. BDL still 0.6+ for the month, hard to get rid of such a huge positive departure from normal earlier this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The only trees that have dropped anything significant around me are the birches. 1/2 of my maples are just starting to drop and the other 1/2 just changed colors. The oaks are still weeks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 14 hours ago, powderfreak said: Another October day where the temperature stayed in the 30s... high of 38F and raw with some morning flurries, snow grains. Hard to believe the difference from the first half of the month to the second half. Yesterday made 10 in a row that failed to top 42. Avg max for those days 39.6 (11° BN), avg departure -7.7. Probably less than 24 hours of sunshine during the entire stretch. The 80 ft tall oak behind the house retains half its leaves. That's more foliage than the combined total of the other hundred or so trees visible from the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimetree Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looks like I might have hit my low for October on the last day of the month. Hit 26.8 on the weather station...just 2/10th lower than 10/22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDL still 0.6+ for the month, hard to get rid of such a huge positive departure from normal earlier this month. I wish sunshine was one of the values I recorded because I have to agree, at least anecdotally. I always kid my wife about winter life in the midwest - it always seems to be overcast and cloudy there and I was commenting to her how cloudy it's been here. It looks like I was able to erase the positive departures the first 12 days of the month for me. My average temp for the month is 2.7° BN at 47.3°. Every day since then has been a negative departure and the average temp for me was actually my 8th coolest October in 33 years. I recorded 4 record low maxes but no record low temps so most of the departure has been on the cooler high temps, at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Man what an ugly afternoon. 35F with a quick 0.3" at the base of the ski resort in the past two hours, along with 37F at .2" rain at home and a lot coming. Folks in BTV happy this isn't a snowstorm as not much has happened there despite a couple hours of steady to heavy rainfall in the mountains. These were the events that would drive me nuts when I lived in the valley. Downslope off Adirondacks and then upslope into the Greens...leaving a nice precip-free zone over Burlington area.

weathafella Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Had to go to a close relative funeral in Chicago. Flew out Monday evening and coming home tonight after midnight. Out to San Antonio Monday back Saturday the 10th late. Could be cold when I return. My body no longer tolerates these quick changes so well...

Baroclinic Zone Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Another big night in East Taunton for trick or treaters. Gave out somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 pieces of candy. Busy but not as busy as it's been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
