November 2025 general discussions and probable topic derailings ...

Lol on the people believing It was going to be 70 on Thanksgiving. We tried to tell them.

Also had some good November and December snows after that time too.  
November of ‘12, didn’t December of ‘13 have some frigid snows?, November of ‘18, December of ‘19(a real biggy for Ray), December of ‘20(a biggy here)..so we’ve had them. 

Dec '13 into '14. That was the one time I remember such consistent cold and snow at the same time. We had a ton of outdoor work that winter, love hate on that one!

It's only mid to late November and we're already talking about days of yore. 

Man, it's gonna be a long season.

This. Some years there was quite a bit before January 1st, and others maybe a few flurries. In my head I just never expect any real winter to get rolling before Christmas. As DIT says it does happen, but it's the exception for sure down here. I don't ever remember having snow on Thanksgiving, and having it last for any large stretch of time.

I said it does happen and sometimes it doesn’t…it’s just how it works. He thinks that it’s definitely supposed to happen…that isn’t true at all. That’s where he is misled, and in dreamland on that.

Now 17F/15F, clear as a bell. We'll have to let it warm up a few degrees before our house-painting contract begins today...brrr!

[dendrite]

It either did or it didn’t. We just don’t know until we look. 

[CoastalWx]

Despite the high thin overcast, got into the upper 20s last night with some skim ice on the local Pond.

[WinterWolf]

Did it snow at all down in SW CT? I remember somebody saying it was going to…? 

[CoastalWx]

Hrrr ftl in srn ct

[CoastalWx]

28 for the low. Not bad with the cirrus I guess. Definitely fake though since it was like 4F lower just down the road. 

[dendrite]

CON 18°

The alternative is a 5kt wind and a temp like 28° at PSM. I think the 18° cuts through you a little more. 

[BrianW]

Snowing along 95 in New Haven and HVN is reporting snow. 

 

[SJonesWX]

got down to 22 this morning. ground was a little crunchy, first hard frost of the year.

of course i forgot to unhook the garden hose from the spigot, so now that is a frozen rope.

Well what do we want to define as an early snowfall? Anything measurable? 2”+? 4”+?

[dendrite]

I’m not sure what the good, long-term snow COOPs are in CT, but here’s Danbury for 2”+. Maybe it’s gotten a little later, but a day per decade isn’t that big of a deal. That’s not too bad considering the background fall warming. It may look a lot different if I change it to 1” or 4” too.

Very light, dime sized flakes falling at the moment. The ground is cold so most of them are laying...first official trace of the season. 30.7⁰ currently

Your snowblower is just waiting to jump out of the garage and eat you.

I bought my in-laws a thermo for their mini fakersville spot. Curious to see how cold it gets there.

20.7

catching up on late afternoon.

What is the definition people are using when it comes to wire-to-wire. I thought it was referring to getting slammed in back-to-back winters, but is that not the case?

Basically consistent winter from beginning to end. No major breaks.

I’m not sure how you’d define that down there. Up here it’s a little easier to do if you base it on snow pack streaks. Like going DJFM with at least some X value of pack. We have the ability to minimize nasty cutters here like in 07-08.

Down in Hanover. They are near the Indian Head River and radiate well. They hold pack way better than here.
