Typhoon Tip Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Snow in October .. meh. I suggest folks get a pattern sustained that makes it "october" first - puttin the cart before the horse The models overdo these early season cool snaps when their late middle range and so forth at this time of year... Usually in shorter terms they normalize some, end up more like a standard deviation BNer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you'll read into it as just snow pyscho babble but it's like a freeze in early September during a very warm pattern. You get that one well-timed feature, overnight, and it's snowing somewhere in New England. Obviously downwind of the lakes and in the mountains, this time of year is just normal for first flakes.

I wasn’t suggesting we should be sharpening the shovels, but I think it’s a good indicator that it’s about to get much cooler.

J Paul Gordon Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Wait, some people are implying that Kev's endless summer will be ending. That's not possible. I've been counting on them to re-open the pool at our place in Maine and now you're telling me that it's gonna end? Temps in the low 100's, Dews in the low 80's next week (in the normally hot spots in the Valley). Expect we'll be lucky to break 90 at ORH airport site. Just wait. Its coming. Endless summer never ends. (Course its sort of like having a drink/toke before noon. Its always afternoon somewhere. And its always "summer" somewhere, if we are going on temps and dews) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe suggests warm seclusion/sting jet evolution was responsible for winds around eastern Mass. Far from tropical, but I recall 2 December SW-wind oddities back when I lived in NNJ. Dec. 9, 1962 brought 4" snow, very nice for the next day's deer season opener. Then we had nearly a week of temps 15-20° BN on brisk-to-strong SW winds - frigid HP in SW Quebec and that Sunday snow system probably spinning east of Anticosti. Five years later, on New Year's Eve, we got 4-5" of fluff on gentle SW winds. Would not surprise me in Fort Kent, but odd for NNJ - even NYC got 3.3" from that one.

tamarack Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 15 hours ago, WinterWolf said: Hmm very interesting question there...Opal was 1995 correct? Maybe things are lining up... The series of strong fall storms had already begun by this date in 1995. And despite all the snow, it was less then great IMO due to no biggies reaching my (then, or current) home and crummy retention. Lots of storms, but schizo stretches, with Dec-April great for their 1st dozen-21 days then the rest of each month ranging from meh (Dec) to awful (JFM, with J getting multiple exclamation points.) 06z GFS dumps 12-18 on FVE out at Day 13.

#NoPoles Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Pardon the interruption: October 10- World Mental Health Day We all have shadows. Even so, life can be isolating. I feel as though as we navigate life, we all meet other souls who inevitably leave us behind and take a bit of our heart when they go. I truly believe no one gets to the finish line with a perfectly untarnished heart. It is the greatest gift of life, to be able to love in the time that we are given.

powderfreak Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Just noticed that BTV never had an hourly temperature last night below 70F... min was 69F though between obs. They got their nocturnal low level hey going from the south sustained over 10mph all night like in the Caribbean. BTV's temp follows the wind so well in the Champlain Valley where there's nothing stopping air masses from the south or north. Comes from the south at 10-20mph and it's 70F all night. Then they had the other day 10-20mph from the north and it was 48F in the middle of the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH has had 8 October events with measurable snow since 2000....prior to the October 29-30, 2000 event, you had to go back to 1988 and then 1979 to get the next 2...and that is at 1000 feet over the interior. It's definitely been more common recently. Though we are currently in our longest "break" since that 1988-2000 span. October 2018 will mark 7 years since our last one...obviously that 2011 storm was the all timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My latest 60+ minimum is Sept. 26, with 61 both last year and in 2007 (both had 84 max, too), and with the BD moving thru WVL as we speak, that mark will stand. You aren't wrong. ORH has had 8 October events with measurable snow since 2000 That's 3 more than at my place. I guess in October, elevation trumps latitude.
