60F and partial sun at home. Beautiful out.

Congrats to this palm tree

yeah sorry...wasn't trying to ridicule or anything. I thought you originally posted it in jest.

I had 11/8 for the first reported CON flakes contest at work. The date was picked in July.

Sure Looks like the bowl hit 24F this July and 16F in August. It's no wonder trees don't grow down in the bowl.

Eat your heart out Fakersville.

It only hit -6F 270ft higher in the upper rim.

-44F at Peter Sinks this morning

"this may be one of those setups where the gfs beats the euro."

I like watching TV weathercasts when the graphics are all pretty and NAM based and the OCM (say Harvey for instance) comes on and says something like "yeah, this sim radar graphic is showing this but don't really believe it...I think this will happen...".

I mean how high can it go? EC op AC is consistently 0.92ish and has started to almost flatline over the last 5+ years. I'd assume the major improvements would be in that d6-10 range as the errors exponentially worsen. EC is almost a full day better than the competition in the LR already.

CON had some VIRGA obs in the remarks around that late aftenoon time. Maybe they reached the ground up here like in ORH. But I do like the weenie 29F -SHSN ob to finish off September. There's nothing on the Franklin Falls COOP forms for 9/30 or 10/1 so the observer apparently didn't see anything during the day, but I'm not sure they were looking for flurries up there at the dam back then either.

I mean seriously...we could all stop paying for Euro data if the error becomes negligible. All of these fancy maps with hundreds of variables and levels would finally become useful. Having just a handful of mandatory levels on the euro hurts for soundings and x-sections. Maybe I'd even view a few of Wizzy's weenie point-click 102hr GFS soundings showing 15000 joules over a silo in Topeka.

Here's the ORH snow obs. Looks like early evening.

IIRC the GFS ran almost up to par with the EC error wise when used with the EC initialization years ago. So maybe we need to stop beating around the bush and go full 4DVAR and none of this hybrid crap.

Yeah it was later in the day up here.

3F Congrats DENdy

Lots of NH towns are pushing it back to Saturday night too. Watch us get a solid break in the rain Thu night now with dews in the 60s.

Were they ever great?

It’s going to be a long winter with the FV3.

Foster Grant started the US plastics craze back in the early 1900s in Leominster with glasses and combs. They eventually had a plant in S NH that my dad worked for at one point.

Leominster I assume

No experience with a UV light for a well, but my humidifier uses a UVC bulb and it has never had a trace of mold or algae growing in it even after 3 years of use.

? It was mist and fog. It looks the same way on my cam with the IR nightvision light when vis is 1/4SM or less.

Screen doors slamming shut in Ayer.
