up here, I average about 2.5" in November over the last 18+ years. and i have had 6 with 0.0" of snow.

so no, November is not a winter month.

Can only lead them to water 

can't make 'em drink, because it's frozen.

got down to 22 this morning. ground was a little crunchy, first hard frost of the year.

of course i forgot to unhook the garden hose from the spigot, so now that is a frozen rope.

Well here's the thing...  Globals overall have not held onto the structure of the oncoming short wave into confluence zone in NYS New England so have been depressed.  6z EC topped in favor of the 06-09z RRSFA, RAP, NAM3K and 12z HRRR.  

I sure hope the 12z/18 HRRR is not that far wrong... it could be too aggressive to the north but I expect a 2-4" stripe somewhere near I80 which would be a little south of the 12z HRRR axis.  Uncertainty of course but we have to make decisions on what we do.

So potentially embarrassing if it fails but this is what I updated locally.

Updating I84 corridor 9AM. Plowing will probably be needed for at least the higher elevations tomorrow morning from northeast PA through nw NJ/se NYS into at least southern CT and possibly Hartford Ashford. Too much short term modeling that is at the leading edge of mesoscale modeling is upping amounts and predicting a decent 5 hour event that will require adjusted traveling times.

 

Entire I84 region from the Poconos across nw NJ, se NYS into ag least the southern two thirds of CT 1AM-9AM Wednesday (tomorrow) morning. A 3-6 hour period of wet snow that likely accumulates 1-4"-especially grass. Valley roads 600 feet or below just wet because of temps just above freezing but accumulations on untreated pavements expected for the hills where the temp will drop to 30, especially 1000 feet or higher. The northern extent of the snow shield is a little uncertain but prepare for slower travel-delays in your early Wednesday morning travel. In my opinion there is an increasing chance of a 2 hour delay for high terrain schools I80 northward. Overall

you should probably cite your sources that you steal from

Ray is right. Kind of a meh cold shot outside today’s highs. But highs will be solidly BN next week or so. 

Nah, warmth confirmed by the pope

64F for high here.

got all the way up to 43 today. I’m outside in shorts and t-shirt enjoying the warmth that the pope promised me. Confirmed!

The warmth continues.

aside from yesterday, what day(s) have been “warm”?

0.000001” rain last night, but enough to make the leaves and lawn wet enough to delay today’s planned clean up.  I’m with DIT @Damage In Tolland, it is triggering. Too much shit to get done, not enough time

We filled the main discussion thread with dozens of posts about snowmobiles when the weather was boring a few weeks ago.  No one was yelling "Bring that fucking shit to the banter thread!!"...

I BELIEVE IN SNOWMOBILES!

How good is the cyclone rake? Every year I say I’m going to get something to deal with these leaves and I don’t. 

I absolutely love it. huge capacity so it drastically reduces the number of times I would have gone to the dump pile without it. days like today with lots of oak leaves are harder because you have to blow them into piles and suck them up with the big hose before you get started with the mower, if you don’t do that the mower deck will just push them around or leave trails behind you.

2 yards, 2people, 2 lawn tractors, 2 blowers, and 1 cyclone rake will take about 5 hours.

The first hour was picking up all the limbs and sticks that blew down last night . Then blow. Then tractor for stragglers . 

That’s the plan tomorrow. blow ‘‘em into a few piles, suck ‘‘em up with the cyclone rake, then mow the rest of the lawn with the cyclone rake in tow. 2 2 acre yards should be done in <6 hours if all goes well. maybe find Time for a couple cold beers

Now that Melissa is gone I’ve moved from tropical to late fall mode. With one of my locations now being SLK I’d love to post here too representing the western portion of the BTV NWS area, if y’all will have me. 

You are welcome to post here, but beware. If you post pics of snow while SE Mass is getting rain or has bare ground, @CoastalWx might come for you.
