Pinkham had a little bit of yore in their Feb 69 report. Their depth kept going up the same amount as the new snow even with depths well over 100”. Maybe you could argue the depth was correct and they just called the increase in depth as the new snow? How much of that depth was due to drifting? Impressive nonetheless.

Pretty impressive even for BML standards for around the autumnal equinox.

Greasy old men flinging their cig butts out of their hoopties after they leave Electric Blue?

12z MAV down to 22° at BML and 29° at CON Sunday morning. The CON record is 28° in 1993.

Yeah this.

100SM at MWN yesterday with the FU at 18kft. Smoke isn’t the problem. Ragweed maybe? KMWN 162356Z 25050G67KT 100SM BKN100 OVC180 10/M10 RMK FU OVC180 10127 20089=

MEX is 23-24-26 at BML Sat-Mon. CON is 33-31-33. Will be close to a freeze here.

If you like radiating and a short growing season HIE is for you though.

Another beautiful sunset with the big red disc.

Spotty color here too. I'm not ready to write off the foliage season up here. The forest floor around here can tolerate the minor droughts we get. Lawns are a different story. These numerous 30s should help the foliage out as well.

Yeah Dave Epstein is an avid gardener and has an above average affinity for precip and drought conditions. If it's somewhat dry you usually hear about it from his Twitter first. That's where DIT's joking all started.

Tolland is all extreme all the time.

Here to dryslot have been the big losers. Not even a tenth in SW ME.

Looks like the driest for CON is 0.21" in Sep 1914. They're sitting at 0.19" MTD right now.

Short POR there which has been fairly wet.

37.6° will do it. Another smoky sunrise with just the red/orange disc.

37.9°

40.7 May end up colder than yesterday

Opening windows down south while we start closing them.

May 31, 2010 was more similar to this. There was less haze than what we had today though...you could see more blue in the midday sky.

Yeah there’s been some smaller ones. The end of June into early July of 02 saw many large fires in Quebec province. Eventually some plumes made it our way.

52.7° already...wth

July 2002 is the last one I remember similar to this, but that had more smoke in the low levels.
