Great read as always.

How far back are you going on these November’s that feature snow? The climate record says otherwise:

Make sense, since neither does cold November rain…

Thought of at @Damage In Tolland while reading this in the BOX discussion… Our forestry partners at CT DEEP have requested a special weather statement for elevated fire weather concerns in Hartford and Tolland Counties. We plan on reaching out to our forestry and fire weather partners in RI and MA for their input and a possible special weather statement for those states as well.

Ha, Bastardi forecasted below normal snowfall in the Northeast! When’s the last time that happened? Could be best the omen yet that maybe this winter won’t suck as much as last winter. Sure a broken clock gets it right twice a day but it’s still wrong the other 23:58!!

Yeah I was in Boston today on Newbury St. Felt warmer than that. It was beautiful.

What a nice Coctober day it was! My lawn is brown in spots but only because I had not cut most of it since July 2! It was taller than the dog in a few spots lol…

Been reading up, and it seems like following outcome for this winter based on the data so far - in general terms: - Likely overall to be above normal temps, below normal snow. - Greater chances of a bigger storm or two to setup due to pattern, thank last year. - Greater chances of more arctic cold outbreaks than last year. So a good chance it will be better than last year, but need some luck for it to be much better.

Yeah no longer heading up the coast on the GFS and Euro. Heading NW and merging into a low near Iowa instead lol. Still a long way to go...

This storm/pattern would have been perfect in mid January. I’m sure we will have a Bermuda high then!

We are in a rain delay here in Burrilville with our Labor Day festivities… torrential…

Got hit pretty good in Bristol. Flash flood warning now as the heavy stuff was overhead for a while. Some small hail in places.

Round 3 has arrived.

In the northeast part of town there were two rounds of hail and some wind gusts that may have been down bursts. Parents have some tree damage at their house and in their neighborhood. That cell drifted ESE into Swansea/Somerset/Fall River area.
