What’s the criteria? 1”+?

BOS almost with a 24hr sweep with this airmass.

If BOS could tickle down 2° more to 27° it would be their coldest Ictober temp since 1936 and I assume that was at the old site more inland too?

14° at BED would tie CON’s record low for the date. Amazing what snow cover can do. I’m only down to 21.9°.

idk, but maybe it’ll be a tame season? https://www.nbcnews.com/health/cold-and-flu/cdc-says-seasonal-flu-cases-hit-record-lows-around-world-n1240333

1.3"

Could be some good upslope for the N-NW favored areas.

Ha. Just saw this thread. I'm off to a good start.

So what's the verdict for this season? wxbell or weathermodels?

39° -DZ Pretty miserable day. 0.08” so far.

Invasive. No way.

And I already posted it in the sports forum, but it deserves to be posted here too. lol Dodgers

You'll probably want to go with some kind of Davis setup. Either the VP2 with Vantage Connect or their EnviroMonitor. https://www.davisinstruments.com/enviromonitor/ https://www.davisinstruments.com/vantage-pro2/ https://www.davisinstruments.com/data-collection/ Either way it won't be cheap.

There's a strong inhalation restriction with those as the only way for air to enter is through the mask filter. Of course there's much less restriction while exhaling, but there's still some since there's a valve there that you have to breathe out against. If I sneeze or cough a lot of it is getting caught inside of the mask filter too. But I'm not going to lie...I'm looking out for me first. I use these to clean my coop everyday so I know how much they keep out of my lungs. Some of the masks I see people wearing are like wide open and flapping on the sides. Those aren't doing much to stop small droplets in and out either. I understand what others have posted and know that they may not be doing much...correlation obviously doesn't mean causation, but I'll keep wearing mine anyway. It's not causing harm to wear it. 42/28

Obviously not all masks are equal either. I use the 3M 8577 P95 ones. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-3m-products/~/3M-Particulate-Respirator-8577-P95-w-nuisance-lvl-organic-vapor-relief-for-vending-1-pk-32-pks-cs

I’ll keep wearing my P95. It at least keeps me from having to smell other people’s bad breath and body odor.

Nope.

Gotta keep wearing that mask.

How would I explain this event to the wife?

Even Phin is in the yellow up in Coos.

MSP has had accumulating snow in late September and early October before...as recently as 2.5” in 10/12/2009. This will be the most for so early though. 1.7” on 9/26 is lol though.

October 4 in Albany is more impressive than October 20 in Minneapolis. https://www.weather.gov/media/aly/Past_Events/1987/Frank.pdf

If it was 30° and 1/4SM +SN on August 31st it would start sticking then too. MWN has had accums in July. Technically the solar radiation is higher up there than at lower els since there’s 6000ft less of atmosphere to scatter it.
