Spooky Season (October Disco Thread)

[TheClimateChanger]

Winnipesaukee continues to track just below the 1982-2024 minimum level for the date. Although it looks like estimated inflows are currently larger than discharges, so might stabilize or come up a bit.

I play this game every year.  I try for October 15; not sure what my success vs failure in winning that date is on average.

I've had years where I could not make it ... like it was 48 in the place some dawn, with frost out there on the lawn, and yeah, the forecast was 64 for high but mmm. The house has a 'cold memory' when the sun's not exactly heating the house this late in the year.    One year ..I think it was 2009, my in-laws had ripening tomatoes and new yellow flowers on Thanks Giving as we toured their huge garden in cargo shorts weather.  I think I made it to early Dec that year ... 

It was 57 in here this morning. I could have given the place a puff of heat but it feels weird to do that when it's going to be 80 from Saturday to next Wednesday ... 

have a feeling I might pop on the pellet stove tomorrow morning.

Fakersville is a magical place

This is essentially our winter now. With little to no moisture to trap any daytime heating, the temps plummet as soon as the sun sets. I think once our usual parade of nor’easters gets established then things will get back to “normal.” Enjoy the shrinkage while it lasts!

[CoastalWx]

At least there’s some signs it may turn more active mid months. Little bit of -NAO on EPS and op runs sort of showing the results of that.

[Baroclinic Zone]

1st 30s since mid may

[BrianW]

Looks like GON and IJD with the first 30s for CT. 50 for the low here.

Cleaned and serviced ours last weekend, and ran it for an hour this A.M. 36 degrees in Westfield this morning

[jsw]

At 6am, 31F air, 31F dewpoint. Second straight morning of 100 percent saturated air. Headed for 80F next four days, then it looks promising for a good dousing. 

Ahh, finally...variety!

[CoastalWx]

I don’t see a good dousing for awhile.

[CoastalWx]

Midweek looks meh for rain.

Car thermo read 39 a few times during this morning's drive from Salem up to Colchester and back.  All the low spots.

[dendrite]

Min 35.7°

A little car frost. Good place for it.

More like parade of lakes cutters/redevelopers.

Mins…close at CON and EEN but we grow on

Oh. NWS Keene says 70 percent chance of showers for, I think Tuesday night for here in Brattleboro. Discussion last night said upwards of .25 inch. Have not read the discussion this morning but hey, we have you and others here...;).

Will read it next...thanks!

[40/70 Benchmark]

36.9 for the low here.

Edit - I looked too quickly. Now I see 33 in Keene. We do get a little cooler here with radiational cooling. My last sentence still stands...ha.

Huh, was I hallucinating this morning? First, rain chance gets nixed by some party pooper, now low in that graphic says 37F here, when I woke up to 31F (KEEN, closest station). We vary a little (lower elevation on CT Rive, 300 ft. above sea level).

More coffee, please, or something stronger?

Yeah I don’t consider .25” a good dousing. I guess it’s subjective.

[CoastalWx]

Even last night was only 45. By the time I left the house at 5:50 there was already a breeze and temp rising.

Right, I don't either, I consider an inch or more a good dousing. I kind of overstated due to enthusiasm and all the dryness this past summer.

[Damage In Tolland]

Looks dry and benign right thru end of month 

[CoastalWx]

Nah we change things a bit mid month and beyond 

[Typhoon Tip]

Another in these so-called 'fake cold' mornings.. 

37 with car top frozen dew, nothing on the lawn though.  

Meanwhile, 45 was the low up on the hill at Worcester AP. 

Up to 57 ... goodly bounce is going on.  Looking at NAM soundings... should be about 76 if it were July, but with sloped tepid October sun, maybe just a 70 nick. Not sure... it's getting late in the solar shoulder season and we're really only 4 weeks from entering the perennial min so some challenges.
