The snow makes the cold more tolerable so hopefully we have least have a snowy winter. But outside of snow there is just no use for this type of weather. If you're involved in physical activity it's not so bad but it takes so much longer for your body to get going. The cold makes me cramp so easily and it seems to get worse every year. I get cramps in my arms when I had them in  folded position for a certain amount of time and then stretch them out. I'll even get like cramps in my throat which is odd. 

I get the cold thing.  I'm 52 now.... And I feel the cold more in my bones. So there's that ..lol

2" at 3,000ft with steady snow falling on the remote snow cam.  Will be heading up a bit later.

Speaking of webcams, Loon has finally installed one near their summit.  So now besides MWN we have live cams at the top of Cannon, Loon and Waterville Valley.  That gives me a good idea as to what is going on in the Whites.

not trying to troll the interest in the near term cold shot - it's impressive.  but i really ( personally ...) think that focus is eclipsing a potentially bigger story.. 

2 facets: 

- scalar achievement in warm anomaly

- the delta between tue-thur and the weekend in itself

both these records have an outside shot of being reset this sat and sun at hartford, ct

October 19    82    1963
October 20    81    1969

PWM's 1st four weeks, 7 days of 80+ along with the howling CF on 10-24 that spread the wildfires that covered nearly 200,000 acres and killed 15, Maine's greatest fires.  The 83 on 10/23 is the site's highest so late in the season.  The 87 on 10/7 is the 2nd warmest day in October, behind the 88 on the same date in 1963.

CON was +11.2F on the highs and only +0.4F on the mins. I can’t even fathom that happening anymore. 9 days of 80+ in there with an 89 and 4 days of 85+. 
 

Avg high was 72.1 and avg low 38.2. :lol:

Yore.

It just goes to show you how much fewer GHGs were in the air back then. High of 59° at PWM? No problem. We’ll drop it down to 20° and then just climb back up to 65° the next day. The atmosphere was like Mars compared to now.

Pretty typical for a snow only 3 weeks removed from summer, no?

Come on, embrace the possibility that winter might not actually suck as bad as the last two…

I literally had no background intent other than to say back to summer. Will be a warm weekend. 
 

You guys can still continue to track snow up there in the magnetosphere.

Record high of 83 on the 23rd, record low of 20 two days (and 63°) later.

It had to even out at some point.  It always does. 

Last winter it happened twice.  Record wet December, 68% AN January, record dry February, record wet March.  (Also record wet DJFM)  Can make one dizzy.

It is good to see the snow fly though. No argument there.

It looks like it’s possible no more rain rest of month if modeling is right . That would leave me with .32 for the month. Was a wet JJA thankfully , but man is it dry out there 

Good, I don’t care if precipitates again until next month.

Pouring again here.

I know...ball busting only...yes; looks like a lot of back and forth this month.  The cold shots are a nice reminder that it can still snow when it should.
