I was in Nashua earlier today and experienced the torch session prior to the convection, felt like mid 80's and dewey

That's wild.  We got enough to wet the driveway, not enough to register on the rain gauge. Nashua had a few blow ups after passing our area this year.  Congrats.  

Edit: poor spelling.

That offers even more confidence it’s coming . They haven’t been correct in many many years

C’mon, 45F with no shot of snow isn’t that stressful

40, rain, mud, kids tracking it in house….while you post pics of the Stowe quad shrouded in dendrites. No stress here.

You’re a bad man.

So, when are we firing up the NNE snow, I mean, cold season, thread?

They were pretty good last winter with maintaining the cold. I haven't followed them since March.

At least the acorns are dropping this year.  We had zero last year. Now it seems like a lot of smaller and normal acorns everywhere.  Just took the dog out, Owls still trying to scare the rabbits out of their comfort zone.  What a night.

Tuesday looks like a chilly time to do it, ha.

Looks like @CoastalWx gets to keep his beloved NAM a little longer!

As for his "garbage" model (RRFS), it does appear to have issues w/ making deeply  occluded lows into TCs too easily.  It did that for the most recent storm.  But non-TC CAMs usually do.

We’re ending the NAM about as fast as the Iran war.

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.

"Yah but" you do not have to be concerned about the storm developing "too late" or any issues w/ moisture.  You do not even need a strong sfc low and still get crushed.  Jan 20, 1978 is a classic example.  Gave BOS is biggest 24 hr snowstorm up this time.

That’s not really correct.  So Flip a coin…

I do apologize if I came in hot-headed, but the storm last weekend was highly anomalous. We are doing something for the Tri-State Conference this weekend coming up on 10/10. (Yeah, I went to WCSU). Please, please register. Weather weenies weeny-ing out is always a good time, in-person. I’d like to meet the faces to the board monikers, and arguably save the dept. 10/10/26. 30 dollars and you get breakfast and lunch on top of “shooting the breeze” with fellow nerds. Doesn’t happen often, I just hope it isn’t the last from a budget perspective

(The foliage should be quite nice), regardless.
