You guys had snow though iirc? Pretty sure it even changed down on the upper cape. 

I was on my to the gym(which is just over the line a mile or two)in chesire, and I came up to route 10, and that shot was in front of me, so I snapped a picture.   Yes, we in Southington had the snow, as you can see in that picture, but Chesire it wasn’t sticking as well.

heh... in and of itself this is rather impressive for a week from tomorrow

Yes.  But GFS at 8 days….ya skeptical.

We've had measurable rain on 3 of 8 days this month, which would project 137 such days per year, only 7 days less than average (average precip is 48.83)".  Total precip is 0.06" - totaling 2.74" for the year.  No wonder the Sandy River is in the bottom 10% and Carrabassett in the bottom 5%.

The upper halves of trees here are 90% de-leafed.  Lower half about halfway.  Today's wind hasn't been grabbing much foliage so far.

Looks like a repeat of last month with the mega ridge to the SW of here.

whatever that was or wasn't, okay.  but that above is probably a record challenging warm blast clear to moose dung

Got a new station up at Pit2.   Sitting at the top of the rocks that drops off to the water.  Sited  about 25 feet above the water at low tide.  With open water for two miles to the north,  a mile to the east, and 2 miles to the southeast it should be really good for wind speeds during coastals.

south to west will come in really meh.

How are we looking for latter October? Trying to get a feel for whether or not we can get away with doing my 7 yr old's Bday outdoors....looks kind of seasonable-ish?
