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

Is the sensor unshielded and surrounded by Christmas trees?

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

 

Pretty much every time a Neg EPO pops models miss the cold extent. Been harping for a week plus.

Haha. It’s one of those accurite ones so not like a Davis shield. It’s more because I’m a weenie and just curious.
 

My brother-in-law also bought a fixer upper last year right on the water in N Plymouth. I’m pushing him to get a Davis because I’m sure he’ll have some good obs. It’s got some trees in his yard, but he’s like a couple hundred yards from the water in about 50 feet up or so.

That’s not what’s happening. The pattern still isn’t good for anything frozen really until we get towards the first week and after in December. A random cool shot was always in the cards.

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. 

Yeah down here not really sure you can really define that. but this makes sense now. I remember a comment from FXWX yesterday that said it's exceptionally tough down here...which it is.

BS you were calling for Banana hammocks and flip flops for Tday.  I tried to tell you to lean much colder due to EPO drop. Never mentioned snow.

lol. We will likely have a mild period near or after turkey day. Has nothing to do with it. You whack to that index every year.

EPS still looks warm for Thanksgiving…cold shot comes for the weekend

2003 was so much fun. That was my freshman year of high school and during lunch I'd be outside playing frisbee in the snow

And only 50% of Novembers have an inch or more of snow despite some peeps memories

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.  

Ironically it seems the worst offending decade was the 1990s…no October or early Nov snows and plenty of late ones. You wouldn’t think so in an otherwise fairly snowy decade.

Lol You can't lead a blind parade down a straight street ever  since you have had 3 bad winters. Confirmation bias to the max.

[mreaves]

First teens of the season. 16.3° for the low.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

May have to lean GEFS/GEPS 70% EPS/AIFS 30% blend with EPS leaning too warm lately

[dryslot]

Pretty chilly this morning, 17F, Not fake.

Absolutely. That’s what recall so fondly and miss the most. December’s were more often snowy and sometimes so were Novembers . It’s the whole premise for my wasting winter if you wait until January. Two months wasted with only two months of winter left and if lucky a Morch that snows a few times and melts quickly . 

I absolutely agree with this albeit going against climo in CT. If you go through the entire holiday season without a winter event, it’s hard to say the winter was epic when your first snow was Jan 28th. It’s just not the same, even though the science says ain’t happening James.

Hey if we somehow make it through without warmth, you can rapture me with those burly, furry, ACATT arms. 

[Typhoon Tip]

yeah, 19 here.

Saturday bottomed out around 29.  As I passed by ponds en route to disk golf I noticed ice had crept out about 4 to 6' from the shores, so thin it was gone by early afternoon.  Hadn't seen that in recent autumns (I'm the type of nerd that noticed little details like that).   Recent Novembers hadn't provided for that intermediate stage in inland ice, but this year hearkens back to that. 

I didn't venture out this morning but I'm sure at 19 there was probably more than just shore ice.

Low of 12.2° at WXW2 in the village. 

We finally got the clear to close so I’ll have a fixed location for wx obs soon. Wife won’t like the cost of a new Davis but I told her it’s top of the priorities list lol.

Sounds like a new diamond earrings for a Davis station.

27.6F. Coldest at our house, but we never radiate well on the hill.

Had heavy frost on the car this morning. Apparently I guess my windshield washer fluid was empty and my scrapper broke, so I had to waste 15-20 minutes waiting for window to defrost so I could drive

Or your washer fluid froze. Do you still have the warm season blue stuff in there?

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

Nah. I don't get snow anymore where I live. I'm in a microclimate of garbage for snow.  I think I've used the snowblower 3 times in 4 years.
