Good one Brian.  Nah…I found out she wasn’t mine.

Busting aside…here’s to a good winter season. Hopefully everyone gets the weather they want…70° here while it’s snowing in Southington.

Very much Agreed.  Just give me average…and I’ll be more than happy.  You’ll do fine there.

With Melissa taking it to the Caribbean, we in New England are stuck with another sh.itty rain storm, and some  (not so) scary wind.  The only damage we can find are the oak leaves piling up on the lawn of @Damage In Tolland .  Now with cold pushed after Turkey Day, it's time for the pre snow season anxiety to kick in for some.  

 

 

This band has always frightened me.  I would turn the channel whenever they came on Headbangers Ball.

I agree. Having a normal winter this year would feel like a blockbuster after the last several, which were lackluster seasons.

Nice 7/10 split on guidance.

Looks pretty nice in the extended. Probably lots of upper 50s low 60s.

My advice to the cold folks would be forget about it. It’s so early, it doesn’t even matter. Just enjoy the nice weather

Lol…shit happens…like SE Mass piling up record snowfall for 15 yrs, when we were told there would be no more snow by fools like Gore and Gates during that exact time frame.  

link us up with those quotes, please, cause I doubt that happened

Some of the worst on record. I’m tired of it.

It happened.
 

Go look at silly fool Al Gore, and what he was saying 25 years ago. And That’s all you need to know.  He said that by 2015 there’d be no more snow in New England. (10-11, 12-13, 13-14, and 14-15 were all great winters) …how’d that work out for him?   Believe what you want…but he and Gates and others in their camp are fools.

That’s what happens when you kill it for a decade and a half…regression is a beotch when you have to come back to reality.

Agreed on enjoy any nice weather…I’ll take it for at least another month.  No need to filthy up the roads now/or yet.  Let’s keep the vehicles clean for another 3-4 weeks anyway.  
 

Has felt very autumn like this year however.   And today feels like November with the clouds and damp feel at 52 degrees.

Sugarloaf this morning.

Blowing snow already .... Nice

[weatherwiz]

I wonder when in November (if we do) the pattern really begins to flip. I mean the extended GFS/Euro continue blowing the 576/582 500 heights well north into the country through mid-November. I think I made a post or two in the ENSO thread but (and this is not an official outlook or forecast) but I don't feel good about this winter at all. In fact, I would not be shocked if this ends up one of the warmer winters on record for the CONUS. Really curious to see how November plays out but we need something big/major (probably in the stratosphere first) to mix things up.

From 1921-2016, ORH had 5 Octobers that failed to have a temp of 32° or lower. From 2017-2025, they have had 7 including 5 in a row.

Same obs site?

Low of 27 this morning, 12th sub-32 this month plus yesterday's 32.  Coolest low is 25 on the 10th, and mildest minimum is 50 on the 20th, timing is kinda backwards.

The fact you don’t feel good about this winter is a good thing…then it won’t take much to impress you. Setting the bar low…you can always adjust up if need be.

I don’t remember the major location change from in-town to the more elevated airport, but I know it was pre 1940s. 95-96 is when the airport sites converted to ASOS/AWOS. But yeah, most of that time frame is the same location.

Exactly  

In fact, any snow potential we have, I'm setting my expectations at a Trace.
