Maybe this year our only good snow event will be 12/24-25 and the rest of the winter will be a

Borderline there. That warm layer would probably completely melt all flakes and I don't think the cold layer is cold enough or deep enough to flip it back to IP. If you can knock that warm layer down a couple degC you may get some ice cores to survive back down into the cold layer. But that's just a snapshot in time with the WAA increasing aloft so there will probably be the typical transition zones. Maybe we can at least start encasing the bodies in S VT.

In the last 20 Novies the averages are CON 2.0", ORH 1.8", BDL 1.1", PVD 0.7", BOS 0.4". Let's not rush the season. We just barely started getting 30s at night.

Was that for sure a marten or an ermine?

Yeah it definitely appeared larger than a bobcat. I really wouldn't have believed it until I saw it with my own eyes and it's strange that my neighbor saw the same thing a couple of months ago. The people that own the 45 acres of forested land behind me are from India so maybe they released something exotic.

Yeah I said that was a possibility, but the tail appeared to be over a foot long to my deteriorating eyes.

The settlers wiped out a lot of mammals up here...mountain lions, elk, wolves, lynx, martens, etc. Wolverines were probably around here as well.

Not here. Although there have been some legit sightings in New England over the last half century. One was hit by a car in CT in the last decade. But I definitely saw a large feline with a long tail with tan/light brown short fur casually walk down the end of my driveway and cross the road Fri night around sunset. It was way larger than a domestic cat and the tail was definitely waving side to side in typical feline fashion. Maybe it was just a bobcat and an illusion of a longer tail, but if they were officially around here I'd say I was 99% sure it was a ML. My neighbor gave me the same exact description of what she saw a couple months ago. I figured it was the coyote that was eating my fallen pears, but she said it was definitely feline and had a long tail. Weird.

Does anyone have some recommendations for trail cams with good images/video that aren't overly expensive? I'm considering two. I swear I saw a mountain lion exit the yard Friday night and my neighbor told me she thought she saw one go through her yard 2 months ago (I laughed at her at the time).

What if the first is also the last?

Joe has never seen a signal that portends warmth and less snow.

Or just stick to the ens and not a d15 op

Ens are pretty damn warm past d10. Up and down beforehand.

Idk…it’s pretty common for Rockingham county to get some good rad cooling nights compared to Winni during the fall. At 800ft you start getting into that thermal belt too where any surface heat loss just drains downward into the valleys. We get some pesky cloudiness at times in NW flow too while further downwind toward your area they’re fully dissipated in the downslope. Anyway…41.0 this morn.

They laughed at 20” here on Halloweenie 2011

Another world up there. Still low 50s here with a refreshing breeze. Classic fair weather fall day with leaves blowing around in the sun.

Sounds like the pattern got to him

I want a solar panel on the roof of my electric car.

Hope he’s okay…his home weather station hasn’t reported online since 9/23.

I must inform you that I see 12” of snow emerging from this noise https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TSffz_bl6zo

Everyone loves the wild animals until they start interfering with or dangering their lives. I’ve made my opinion on this known many times so I won’t belabor my thoughts again, but wild animals need more protection and habitat than we give them. They’re forced to stretch their habitats to coexist with humans because we keep expanding our urban sprawl. Then we lose our shiat when a bear gets a goat or bird feeder.

The bear was punished for being a bear.

They're never done. I see mosquitoes every Christmas eve.

Yeah white pines have been nuts this year. I wonder if the late freeze or Feb cold gave them a signal to put out some extra seed cones this year. Maybe it’s just a cyclical thing.
