Love checking in on this thread every October to the same 20 pages of arguing about fake cold and what kind of foliage season it's been.

It’s the only weather we’ve got

That Tolland municipal site is literally 2 minutes away down the hill on Tolland Green. My first house was there in town . It’s 650’ and sis between my hill and Bald Hill which is closer to 1100’ . They were 27 this morning while I was sitting at 38

You struggle to frost, I struggle to get rid of frost.  Wonder if we can go the whole day.

11:38am and half the yard still looks like this.  North facing cold hollow, going to preserve snow well if we get any this winter.

Thats the midday sun here, lol.  Yikes.  Wonder if it’ll crest the trees in another month.

It’s easier and more common to get below 32 here in May than Roctober 

Not here.  Low month temp in May ranges between 21 to 30, median 26.  For October it's 11 and 26, median 20.  Hilltop vs. rad pit?

Touched 19 this morning.  On 29 Octobers we've gone below twenty 14 times, though only 3 times in the most recent 11 years.  Didn't check the washtub ice until 10:30, still 1/4" thick.

And you may find yourself, in a record Niño
And you may find yourself, in a neverending ridge
And you may ask yourself, “Why is Will still not posting?”
And you may ask yourself, “What if The County gets no snow?”
And you may tell yourself, “Greta is not my beautiful daughter”

Looks like the GFS was hitting the bong at 12Z.  

[CoastalWx]

Yeah, Camping on the Cape and we had a frost this morning.

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. 

I haven’t had any complaints. I feel like it’s been a normal to warm fall, like they all are now. I’m just saying it seemed like you were arguing that freezing frost in October was somehow impressive. 
 

id have to look when the average 32 date is here, I’m guessing we were later than average 

[Baroclinic Zone]

10/10 day today. Mid 60s.

That won’t happen….but then again…you’re the new tropics of SNE, so ?  
 

Maybe you can donate your veggies to the local bread for life for T-Giving this year, to ensure fresh crops for the Thanksgiving Harvest!

Your average 32 frost in Taunton is 10/19….we’ve been below that a few times already. Average first frost for BDL is 10/14…so we right on track.   Don’t know about your mulch beds?

Oh wait…do we lock in silly maps at 384 hrs that barely get us to the end of the first week of Novi…I’ll believe it a month and 3 days from now, when on T-Giving your chowing your peppers still.

Rain

[Brewbeer]

models are likely exaggerating like they typically do this far out 

today was superb weather, prepped the antique honda and ready for paint tomorrow

 

[kdxken]

What's this shyte? November didn't get the memo that every day is supposed to be bright and sunny.

Not really rainy, looks more like misery mist for days.

Prequel for winter??

Ensembles aren’t great for cold but it can change.  Nino’s typically struggle early on as a baseline too.

Not trying to add to the fire, but I do agree with you that getting anything sustained below normal is going to be a big uphill battle this November.

Nothing about this screams that Canada is loading up with cold.

It doesn’t matter…11/26 is very far away in regards to any sort of weather modeling.

He’s talking about a frost.  He’ll frost by T-Giving imo.

Random map with no location? Looks great down here on the shoreline the next 10 days with Ryan going 0% for rain and zero cold in sight.
