tamarack Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 1 hour ago, WinterWolf said: The last accumulating snow here in October was 6 years ago….so it’s not all that normal, despite the BS. Even at my latitude it's uncommon - only 6 of 28 Octobers have had measurable snow, most recently in 2018. Elsewhere in Maine - Gardiner had measurable in 2 of 12 Octobers, Fort Kent 8 of 10 but only 4 with 1"+ and none more than 4". BGR 1973-75 had only traces, though the Maritimes had a blizzard on 10/20-21/1974. We also had 0.7" on 10/26/1962 in NNJ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Foliage seems to have dulled a bit locally after wind, rain, and a couple of freezes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewbeer Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago the freeze two nights ago dropped most of the leaves off a couple of maples in my yard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago These are special days. Very hard freeze last night, lawn so white it looked like it snowed, with a low of 26F. Then pop a 70-burger this afternoon, driving around in shorts and a T-shirt with windows down. 44-degree swing from hard freeze to sliders and windows open. Even shorts weather up at 3,000ft right now. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even better than that is there a possibility of severe weather after tomorrow! Now THATS a vacation! I've taken that train from Williams. It's pretty cool to go through the different climate zones. Higher elevation in Willams with the Ponderosa pines, down through desert and back up to the South Rim. I loved that area. After that we drove down to Sedona. It was a beautiful drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dull in others. Not like the NNE region imo where it seemed to be generational everywhere at peak. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah these dry air masses with no vegetation left growing and leaves falling off trees… temps just swing up and down so easily. Lost 20 degrees in just over 90 minutes with the sun going down. 68F at 4:55pm to 48F at 6:35pm. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe up by the Mass/CT border it wasn’t as good? But that’s not the case here, and on the drive yesterday down to the south in CT, yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn’t been spectacular color this season and the posters here backing that. Enjoy the blinding colors there I guess and wear appropriate eye protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
