Freeze this

If it was December and raining you would be calling it ZR.

Congrats on the freeze 26.2° here

Sunny and crisp since midday here.

Maybe no measurable for Ray this year or will he add up his 6hr traces on the snowboard?

And oh yeah…WCVB just had a segment on pawpaws. https://www.wcvb.com/article/the-paw-paw-is-americas-forgotten-fruit/62777683

I’m not a huge fan and I have too many other things growing or that I want to grow. They don’t really have a prayer here in colder years. Like that -18° with strong winds in Feb 23 would wipe even the hardiest one out. One thing I thought about doing is growing an RdB fig in the field with horizontal branches near the ground. Then prune it back in the fall and cover those branches over the winter with dirt or mulch. I could get a strong rootzone going that way and it would explode with growth every spring. Zone pushing can be a lot of extra work. If there was one thing I’d push and try to protect it’d be cold hardy pomegranates. I’d probably be tempted with lows in the -0s, but our frequent -10s scare me off.

lol at these Oct/Nov temps at BDL the last 3 years. Throw the 84° for today on 11/1 too.

Yeah I see the tweet now.

That 83° at BDL is a tie for their all-time November record high of 83° on 11/2/1950.

Even hit 72.6° here. Winds roaring. 66/42 now

For just a dollar a day you can help Wolfie make snow in his backyard that he can ride around in.

Tooooorch

Woke up to 67° on Nov 1. What a time to be alive.

Did any kids dress up as Greta?

BDL 84R (82 1946) MHT 81R (75 1999) CON 79R (78 1946) BOS 78 (81 1946) PVD 78 (83 1946) PWM 77 (80 1946) AUG 77R (69 1956) BTV 77 (71 2019) BDR 77R (75 2004) ORH 77 (79 1946)

What’s the siting look like around the instrument array right now? Something is definitely up there despite the sensor continuously “checking out”. I think Ryan said it was only off +0.4F this summer.

55.7° with sun. Baby steps.

43.8° while it’s 60+ at elevation. I especially enjoy 44° at IJD while DIT hasn’t gone below 60°. Then there’s BTV and PBG that have been either side of 70° much of the night. lol

MAV for Thursday

78° in 1946 for CON. May be tough to break.
