@vortex95 will learn. Winter is hand to hand and town to town combat around here. Michael, Ian, Laura, Ida, Helene, Milton...just to name a few. 3k Nammy has some flakes in the high peaks this week. More likely than a big event. Deeply skeptical of leftovers here, but I think we have a shot at some Gulf development. Might close out the season of futility.

46.7° at WXW1 / 48° at HFD 33.7° at WXW2 / 27° at SLK Coldest so far at WXW2. Should reach the 20s the next few nights with SLK having a chance of reaching the teens.

I think so. Season is just about done. Incredible futility for the basin as a whole.

Impossibly beautiful day up at WXW2. A generational foliage run here this year which I hope extends to SNE in another week or two.

You’re a bad man. So, when are we firing up the NNE snow, I mean, cold season, thread?

It’s time. Long past time.

Man, if I’m reading that first link right, that’s real cold compared to today. 80.6° at WXW1 60.8° here at WXW2

Warm and rainy?

Cottonelle soft weenies.

It’s really wonderful in the northern tier. Drove up Whiteface into the clouds.

No hurricanes seems to be increasingly likely, but as for activity, the Gulf is starting to light up a bit on AI ensemble guidance.

I think there's a non-zero chance up our way. Maybe on the peaks though.

God, this place delivers. The pictures don't do it justice.

Back up at WXW2 and the color is spectacular.

Two whole tropical storms in the Atlantic!

We will (almost) always be the minimum here in the valley. The only things we do well are downsloping and CAD. I’m just far enough to avoid it. Sometimes. 2.83” final. 5.59” in September 15.57” since July 1.

Yep and you see it across many aspects of society.

You know the storm is winding down as we reach this stage of the discussion. Approaching a total of 3” of rain now. Here’s hoping we get several moisture laden nukes this winter.

Sure, but I think there is value in the GP being updated on whether a forecast is turning out better or worse than predicted. Most of the time, the forecast is the forecast and the changes are so minor they need not be discussed. But for “higher end” events, periodic updates can be helpful—both to the curmudgeon that thinks because the forests haven’t been flattened in the first hour of a storm that a storm is a bust, and the soccer mom that is anxious about taking the kids to the park when it’s not likely to rain heavily now that a storm has taken shape.

What Ray said. It’s interesting how the valley produced another minimum in wind and rain, but only to an extent. I’m at 2.66” on the event and counting.

All short lived, except Fay. Peak Season Forecast (Aug 20-Oct 20) Named Storms: 5 (5) Hurricanes: 3 (0) Major Hurricanes: 1 (0) Dolly, Edouard, Fay, Gonzalo, Hanna

That’s interesting
