Still not too impressed with the AI models, but I honestly haven't looked at any verification scores.

They’re actually doing darn good….

You might be able to close your eyes, and have better success in drawing up a better and more accurate depiction. Throw that thing in the trash.

The bigger point is that you were below 32…like most all of New England has been already this fall.

I'm seeing that they are outperforming globals in mid range..but can't really be trusted for nuance in the short range (0-3 days) due to smoothing/blurring effect. I wonder if those short term problems are something that can be overcome with time. 

[dendrite]

Min 34.0°

More frost…still 36°

Gonna need to find a way to frost protect a nonlignified tree this weekend. The tip already got frost burned from 26° despite a trash barrel over it. MOS is hitting 23° at CON Sat and Sun AM.

Yes, I’d have to think they could be overcome, especially if they are self learning.

1,100ft here and frozen solid nightly.

Narrow it down to like 950ft to 1,025ft .

Lasts a long time in the shade.

I'd guess that almost all NNE sites other than some tidewater places have had a frost, and most a freeze.  95% leaf drop around here.

Hell, even way down here in Maryland, 10 miles from the Chesapeake Bay we've had frost. Pretty early for around here. My winter home on Tug Hill seems like it had frost in September lol

At our rad pit microclimate we've had September frosts 25 of 29 years.  The others came in October.  When we lived in Fort Kent we had a frost on July 31, 1978 - wounded our pumpkins and killed the neighbor's beans.  That August we had a hard freeze at 28.

The northern part of “The County” is a very special place.

28° for the low.  Up to 46°

Winter is among us at Sunday River! 

Temps dropped to the mid-20s Saturday night, and the Sunday River team fired up snowmaking on Locke Mountain at 7PM. Sunday River's new snowmaking system is moving 10,500 gallons of water per minute through 2,000+ snowguns across eight interconnected peaks. That’s a lot of snow.

An official opening date hasn’t been set... but stay tuned.

Is touching barely below 32 really that impressive? I mean we’re a week away from November.

Who’s saying impressive Brett?  We were talking about who frosted and who didn’t. It wasn’t about being impressive. We are exactly where we should be…the step down has been right on track.  
 

Do you have complaints(I know dumb question…when don’t you)?  And we’ve frosted a couple weeks ago already…which wasn’t even close to November lmao. 

[kdxken]

Must be nice.

Let’s dry out the wells.

Interesting difference between the EPS mean and control moving into the first week of November. Control develops a stout +PNA/-AO combo but its not a typical pattern evolution of what you'd expect yielding that...also you would at least expect to get a much colder airmass from northern Canada or Arctic but that is not the case. Raging jet too...any systems moving onto the west coast (or into the southwest I should say) or going to fly across the country

Hard to trust any model when they are struggling so much..  just look at 97W

That is just a product of the upper air pattern and what will ultimately steer it and probably due to the fact that the system is still quite unorganized
