Not with a lot of rain 

Even when you see the pretty reds way up there…it’s still frozen solid.

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  

Ya but with big implications and can change patterns depending on strength and which way it goes..

Extended 11-15 isn’t too bad. Might average AN but some cool shots too between now and then.

A nice step down in progress…last years was good too. Beautiful weather.

In Northern Maine? Methinks yes 

Depends on snowpack. I rarely get much frozen ground here. Mostly areas where I clear snow.

Exactly what we are supposed to have…seasonal.  Why, What should we be having in later October?  

[powderfreak]

Just looked at the local records…

MVL ASOS was put in place in 1986, short period of record, but like half of the October record mins happened in the first three years of the station (1980s).  Then just get fewer with every decade since.

I don’t think you have a sense of how deep the frost line is here. Sure, a few inches on the top layer melt in a rainstorm, but dig a couple of inches and it will be rock solid,even in the warmest winter

COC!

Depressing to see most, if not all, of the NWS hourly surface data maps are no longer plotting Canadian data sites... I frequently use the GIS site and it is no longer showing any real time Canadian metar data.
