I’ll say I’ve been fringed in a lot of SNE storms but that’s the only one I’m still jealous of. We got 1.5” lol. What a remarkable event.

Had you hit 32F or lower in 2011 before the Rocktober snowstorm?

That’s kind of wild. FROPA through here, some decent NW gusts.

It’s kind of crazy how it won’t mix out. Still upper 50s at 1500ft and upper 40s down in Stowe Village PWS spots. MVL holding at 48F too. Even some spot 60F above 1,200ft.

Up to 57F now lol. My drive to work went 38F to 46F back to 34F over 8 minutes and then up to 53F over the next 8 minutes.

Last night was the sharpest inversion yet. Below freezing in the valley but like 20F higher (50F) like 500ft above. It’s 30F at MVL but 55F (!) at 1,500ft.

23F to 65F today at MVL locally. That’s how you do an October day.

Temperature is temperature. Oddly satisfying way of explaining it, ha.

I had two Honda Pilots make it 200K+ with the usual maintenance. A 2002 and 2013. Got them used and they lasted a long time at various points in my life, but both succumbed to rusted frames by 240K miles.

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.

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.

Nothing wrong with a long growing season, embrace it. “Dig” into the local climate and take advantage of it. Your elevation storm will come at some point, maybe even more likely in a Nino winter where fresh cold air could be harder to come by.

There’s always ball busting on here, but honestly don’t think anyone tries to make you feel bad for missing out… I mean you get great joy out of using your air conditioning as much as possible, think of it like that. Some folks don’t understand it. 30F

Brisk like with wind? Dead calm here and radiating already at 37F.

Stick season.
