LOL--I had that book as a kid.
Well, I guess the HH++ ended up playing out for the vast majority. Clocking in with a solid .10" for the past 24 hours and ORH managed a 30mph gust. We're all safe still.
Just some heavy overcast and breezy in Worcester. ORH had a couple 29mph gusts earlier in the morning, gusts to 25mph in the last hour.
51* at mi casa. COC.
Stay safe.
The most important aspect of watching this is we get some fall training for tracking winter events for days that may or may not lead to disappointment. My expectations for 90% of the folks here are pretty tempered.
Wobbling and lashing.
Notable for folks on the immediate coast and certainly for mariners. For the rest of us, this still has the very real threat of HH++ (heavy, heavy ho-hum).
I would think that descriptions above/below normal really should be tied to a departure from a normal range (e.g.departures > +/- 1SD) rather than a particular average temperature.
Above average is accurate, but "normal" encompasses much more than 'average'.
A guy from work lives in Wyoming. He posted pictures two days so far this week of overnight snows. Just coatings so far.

I believe that was the very plane my brother and I toured at ORH two Saturdays ago. We opted not to go on a flight. Scary and sad.
On a weather related note, the windshift suggests the front went through an hour ago. Awaiting temp drop to follow--up to 74* now. Gross.
