12Z Euro. Let's end this drought in a big way. I guess just got to slow down Teddy a bit and strengthen the high to the northeast of us. Have the storm come in from a SE to NW direction over the Gulf Stream.

12Z GFS through the end of the run Oct 2 Total qpf

Thanks Brian. Mystery solved

Smoke is now half way across the Atlantic. Paulette seems to be sweeping it northeastward. Still smoke coming across the Continental US. Wonder if there is enough smoke that will circle the poleward regions to influence temperatures to a slight degree. Don't know if it would be a net gain or departure. Smoke lowers daytime temps as the sun is now lowering in angle but must increase nightime temperatures too? Okay, gotta ask. What is with all the Dave Epstein jokes? Many years ago I was invited to go to the movies with some friends and he was there. I'll reserve judgement on the experience but needless to say I remember it all these years later.

Probably most of you don't remember when Mt St Helens erupted. I was living in Boston at the time. The smoke cloud didn't last too long over New England but for a few hours it was very noticeable and people were talking about it.

Yes, skies are 100% clear in the Northeast. This is all smoke.

41F for a low. Colder lows coming for the weekend but I stay toasty up on the hill. Widespread frosts/freezes to the coast have to happen before I frost up here. The settlers of 1795 sure knew where to site houses to extent growing seasons on both ends.

Yes, satellite pictures show we have clear skies except a few Cu. Visibility is good, all the smoke is well aloft.

2005 was the only other year. Wilma was the last in the alphabet before we went to Alpha. Made it all the way to Zeta in Greek alphabet

Thank you Alex. The new camera is great. I can even see the rain drops splashing in the water. Now I can watch the snow line on Mt Washington and the leaves turn. It will happen fast now that your going to be having nightly frosts. You had a great summer. Seemed like less upslope clouds with endless sunshine with super warm temperatures. I'll give you a call soon to catchup on things https://video.nest.com/live/S9cztU6Ans

It's Mid September so it's time for a NNE cold season thread. Let's hope for lots of storms! To start the thread off I'll ask a question. How is COVID going to affect the ski industry? Could be tough with lots of people breathing on each other in lodges. On the other hand this was a busy tourist season (at least in the Lakes Region of NH) so maybe people are more apt to stay local in New England and not travel to warmer climates?? Thoughts?

Welcome to the boards. Not too many of us posters up here so don't hesitate to post. I'm a lot more active in the colder months and with the drought there hasn't been too much to post about. I'll start posting more. I just noticed that I created the NNE warm season thread back in April so I guess it's time to make a new 2020-2021 cold season thread.

AC's came out of the windows yesterday. It was cloudy earlier this morning and with another night in the 40's decided to burn some scrap wood in the woodburning stove to take the chill out. 68/57 with a nice breeze now.

I loved the original location because I could judge visibility, snow rain line on Mt Washington and even tell how much recent snow has fallen on the deck and railing. You can never have enough cams, I have 3 going!

Alex, hope you and the family are doing well. Yes, it will soon be the season I'll be nagging you to get the camera fixed. Loved the old one that showed the top of Mt Washington.

0.0000 yesterday and for the past week Few days ago it looked like "Sally" might make a run for the east coast. Models are now showing recurve but it's way out in fantasy land Time to take out the AC up here

Lock this in. Then the 18Z GFS brings a powerful cane up the coast after hour 300. Drought ova!

Uh oh. 18Z GFS hours 300 on takes Sally or Teddie to Miami 960mb then north to Cape Hatteras and over NYC. Is it a lock?

115pm local time. Crazy

No rain for me up here unless more of a north trend. We just took a 8 mile bike ride. Many small trees have drooping leaves. Not turning color just drooping or even turning brown on some small trees.

Fires just exploding in California today. Towering pyrocumulonimbos creating shadowing. Wonder if it's raining ash downstream?

Few musings... After furiously watering the lawn all summer I gave up a couple of days ago. I can water an area for an hour and then I dig down 1/2" and it's rock hard. The ground is so dry below the surface that watering doesn't do much good especially with a large lawn with a well. Not going to push it anymore. Interesting to see the Colorado snow maps. After days of 90's I wonder how much can accumulate on grass? The soil must have so much residual heat. If Denver can get 7" that really cancels out the "ground is still too warm for the snow to stick theory". I never gave much credence to that anyhow. Okay, back to endless boring,nice weather. Next interesting thing to watch is if "Sally" can sneak under the ridge next week and threaten the US. Love to get some tropical rain up here.

Interesting picture. This one was taken from a jet. At first it seemed odd the pyrocumulous didn't match up to the fire but this shows the same thing. Probably the same anvil and fire.

Typical Denver It's 97F (1pm local time) in Denver today. Will the ground be too warm for the snow to stick?

5.19" July and August but 1.56" last week helded the brown lawn
