Damage In Tolland Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well folks...another TORCH summer has come and gone. It was an unbearable summer for most of the country..and as the calendar changes tonight from August to September, we are slowly moving away from the hot/warm season. You'll no longer see me wishing for high dews and heat. T-storm season is over..even though Wiz will find 4-5 low topped squall lines to discuss over the next 45 days or so. September to me is a time for change, reflection and boredom. It's a terrible wx month if you are looking for excitement which most of us are. Days and days of sun and 75-80/50 are not my idea of fun. Come Sept 22nd..the first day of fall..I will have made the full transformation into cold wx season. October should be cool to chilly, not an endless summer..We want seasons to perform as seasons. If we get lucky ,, maybe we see our first snowfall by then. So in the meantime..let's all hope and pray,,yes even join hands..that Leslie finds her way into SNE . If not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...you want seasons to perform as seasons but yet hope it snows in October. I think what you want is just a warm and cold season. In the spring you always want it to torch come April but that's not spring as usual in New England. You should change your MO to you just want to skip the highs in the 50-75F range periods of the year. It should either be 80+ and humid or under 40 and snowing. You really don't want the high of 60-70F under partly sunny skies that we get in the transition seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 This constant bashing of Kevin is unnecessary and a bit over the top. I urge all parties to cease asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...don't forget the high dews behind the warm front in a nice January Sou'Easter. When it's 62/60 at 11pm in January we can say congrats, at least you don't need a sweatshirt at night.

We usually do alright...even in a winter like last year we had almost 3 months of solid snow cover. I hope it's better than last year though, and hope areas outside the upslope zone can cash in too. I know what you mean though...getting only 220" of snow at the summit is very bleak, I'd cash in just a normal 317" if I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a perfect world it would start snowing dec 15 and never stop until jan 15, then melt and spring would arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make that Nov 15 till Apr 15 In all honesty Joe, I think you have a good winter relative to normal. My gut call is that the coastal plain of SNE ends up the "departure from average" winner this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow...LL sun icon weather. Zone Forecast: Lamoille County, VT Saturday Sunny. Highs in the mid 70s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Saturday Night Clear. Patchy dense fog after midnight.

ORH_wxman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The more interesting statistic to track this winter will be which predictor will have more fantasy snowfalls.....the long range GFS or the KFS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least September is closer to winter than August...The only thing I enjoy in September is tracking the first frosts. It's not exciting but it's one of those things on the checklist for countdown to winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool weather in the mountains, foliage really takes off by mid/late month, trails are usually dry...best month of the year for summiting Mount Tolland.
