My nephew is the one that did my install, We will let him do the cleaning......lol

This is odd, because relative humidity now here is 79 percent, dewpoint 60. Yes, it is dry, but Special Weather Statements says low humidity exacerbates the problem today. Maybe drying air as it clears up? But, yeah, a half inch of rain will be very beneficial here.

...Fire Weather Concerns Exist Across Southern Vermont Today...

Fine fuels remain very dry across Vermont today according to the
Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. Across
southern Vermont, relative humidity values will be as low as 50
percent, while south to southwest winds will gust between 20 and
25 mph. If any fires were to start, the weather and fuel
conditions could cause fires to quickly spread and become
difficult to contain.

For more information about the current fire danger rating, any burn
restrictions, and wildfire prevention and education, please visit
the Vermont forestry or environmental protection website.

Any snow yet in NNE? Climo for first snowfall must be soon for many up there 

Katahdin has been whitened above tree line and maybe the lower mts also, but here in the foothills only in 1999 did I see a trace this early. 
Average 1st trace is 10/28, 1st measurable 11/10 and 1st 1"+ 11/21.

More recently, yesterday's high of 82 is the warmest in our 28 Octobers, 2° above the previous record set on 10/9/2011.  That 82 is 22° AN.

Potentially, but verbatim that wouldn't be the case. The GFS takes its sweet time occluding the storm and we have a strong feed of warm/moist llvl air feeding into the region with the llvl warm front right along the coast and 700 warm front farther inland. That would be a recipe for some heavy rainfall across all of SNE...but as occlusion begins to occur we would start seeing the shield breakup a bit.

GFS though its way on its own

op appears to be a bit of an amplified outlier with that.  

It's an odd evolution either way.  It's not really part of the main wave circuitry propagating around the hemisphere. It's a plunk in stranded v-max that the GFS seems to then use convective feed-back to feed-back what it needs to formulate a tempest - I'm always a bit leery of those spontaneity looks in the mid range.   A suppressed subdued appeal in the ensembles isn't helping.    Not impossible tho.

Yup...not totally buying it. For whatever reason, the GFS has become pretty amped/phase happy in that range these last several years. It seems overall models have really struggled with northern stream evolutions and energy flowing within the stream. Maybe this is just in part due to enhanced flow but I hope there are some group of people out there doing some research into this. Whether its mostly background state or whether its with the physics/equations its odd and leading to so many hyped forecasts.

If that evolution plays out it will certainly put a dent in the rainfall deficits 

We had 2.64" on Sept 25-26 and the local rivers are nearly back to the levels before that event.  Maybe 6" spread over 2-3 weeks would have a significant effect on rivers and groundwater.
