It’s not normal to be the best of the season. There ms been years when it’s done mid Septorcher 

That best of season thing may have been just the very generous rain.

We had a lot of rain which must have helped.  Weather was perfect for veggies.

Those are Miller Meh’s here typically. Compares to the mid Atlantic anyways.

Feb 1983 and March 1993 would disagree w/ you.  I say we make a Miller "W" -- those storms that give the max S+ to w/in 5 mi of Weymouth only! 

Miller As can really tease the Mid-Atlantic weenies, esp. once you get S of DC proper.  How many times does it show 20"+ for RIC, and it ends up 3-4" of IP?  We don't have that high 1000-500 thk/very cold 850 issue "DA MIX" really in the NEUS.

Miller lite?

We need more Miller Cs!  Apparently, those are Sandy-type systems.  Hazel in 1954 and 1938 fall under that.  However, I have been unable to confirm if "Miller C" is a thing officially, but these are unique -- those systems that get a big boost from a TC phase and the TC itself gets the best of both worlds, derived energy from baroclinic and SSTs so they can remain atypical strong much farther N than you'd expect for a TC in our region.

Sandy buried WV up to 36" and up to 48" in VT from the 1804 hurricane and Ginny in 1963 w/ 13" in ME.  Double PT for @CoastalWx here!

I hear acorns falling on my roof, can you send your neighbor over for a cleanup?

[CoastalWx]

What a torch today. Get out there and sweat/enjoy. We uninstall this weekend.

They typically mature too quickly and we get leftover banded mess. Not all, but I prefer Miller Bs here. That’s our bread and butter.

Ours are all down after the weekend of 50+ gusts. 

[CoastalWx]

I still hear them falling.

[dendrite]

They sound like bombs falling on the neighbor’s RV.

Squirrels are having a field day with acorn collection.  Too bad we dont have more CAPE today, other parameters looking good through late afternoon.

He’s in holland I think…

[dendrite]

The leaves are really popping here. I can’t recall the last time they looked this good this early locally. Even the oaks are starting to flip.

Already 68° off a min of 60.4°

Peppers in October are the best all season. Vegetables harvested through November.  All acorns are down on 10/2.  Winds frequently gust 55-65.  Tolland is absolutely amazing…what a place.  
 

Obviously I’m just busting your chops pal…but I just couldn’t resist.
