I still don't know how me saying Nov can feature wintry periods turned into me saying it happens every year and its more wintry than Morch. Most consider Nov to feature the first wintry period

Now thats true, the last great more than one day wintry period was the 5 day double digit departures in Nov 2008. The first shots across the bow occur in Nov, sort of like April heat waves, just a reminder of what lies ahead. November is a crap month normally but always nice to get a taste of the sirloin before its ready for everyone.

Ocean folks I guess still consider it a warm wasted month. Interior elevated folks dont

6-12" snows are the norm for November.

 

 

Yeah, and for objective, even-minded, Meteorologically oriented thinkers, it's very odd and ABnormal to languish in that discussion like that. 

 

I just have to come to grips that there are one or owo Mets and objective enthusiasts on this site, otherwise, it has nothing to do with weather.  It just is what it is.  It's a bastion for a particular special interest group, and it's the reason why when someone wants to gain some substantive analysis and common thoughts on the weather of the day, they end up having to dig and dig through reems of bs about winter in summer. 

 

Oh well.

I hope this nasty attack isn't directed at me. You know damn well I love summer and talking about summer. But it's over in 6 days so its time to wind it down . It's time us to fly REO Speedwagon

Ha, nasty your arse! 

 

It may be true, and touching of a nerve, but that's the problem of the reader, not the truth-sayer.

My friend, when I was in Ithaca ny for the legendary winters of the late 1960s (sept 1965-may 1969), Novembers in general sucked. Sure we had one 12+ in November 1968 and an otg snow every year but it always quickly disappeared and in general was not a wintry month. This is not up for debate. You think November is more a winter month vs March? If so I want what you're drinking!

November is the first month that I feel is realistic to expect flakes. It still often sucks even up here...especially like the first 15 days of the month. Dark and dreary stick season.

And euro d8-10 is well above normal temperature wise. It would be prior but for the low it spins up. Will be interesting if that verifies.

I am in the above normal Sept camp but am concerned the Euro keeps pushing the warmth back. Next week looks like a good week to be working indoors.

I need it warm and dry the evening if 9/4 as we'll be hosting 25 for our annual holiday dinner. I want most of the action outside.

November is an awful month even for 800 ft hills in NE CT. We've gotten a little lucky lately but more often than not it's a brutal, boring, cloudy month. 

 

Agreed... doesn't Brad call it the dreariest month of the year?

 

It's typically cold, cloudy, and snowless for the majority of November.

I'm beginning to feel like we're going to get a couple of days of less intense heat...that is compared to what they will get west of us. Like you said, fropas should save us from a prolonged period of it. There's a few weenie members skewing the ec ens mean temps down a bit so I'm thinking the torch spots aren't necessarily done with 90F yet.

May be a bit off-topic, but does anyone know why we seem to have a spike in record highs at end of August/early September, compared with third week of August? For KNYC for example, the record for August 24 is 94 (and there are a bunch of 92's) butj 1953, 1973, 1983 and 2010 feature some upper 90's (talking 97,98, 99 and a few 100+'s) in that band.

 

Thoughts?
