weatherwiz Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 This is actually pretty cool. ON the following link to the US Climate Division Site, along with plotting average anomaly, standardized anomaly, and mean you can now do rank and percentile...only issue is I can't figure out how to use it properly...I keep coming up with a solid red map. So either I'm using this wrong, or it's just Global Warming gone crazy http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/data/usclimdivs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey2002 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Another nice shot from my family in Woodstock, CT today... Looks like peak foliage continues down there. I miss the colorful leaves on the trees already. Just brown up here. Epic! You should send that to NBC CT...

Hailstoned Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I still see the destruction every time I go to Woodstock...getting off at exit 10 on the Mass Pike in Sturbridge and the damage is still amazing there where it passed through Sturbridge/Southbridge. There's one vantage point looking down the path of the TOR where all you see to the horizon is trees missing their crowns, snapped halfway up. That's not regrowing anytime soon. The hail was about golf ball size making loud bangs and pings as it hit the deck, roof, skylights, knocked twigs and leaves off the trees and made large splashes in the lake. In the meantime, it was perfectly calm here, but across the pond to the south I noted a grey almost fog like column that rose up and passed off to the east with some faster moving scud in its vicinity, and concluded with all the reports of a long duration tornado, that something evil this way had come. My eldest son and I got in the car and proceeded to Monson Center, unwittingly paralleling the tornado path along Monson Road, then to be greeted by the First Church shorn of its steeple, live wires smoking and sputtering on Main Street, wreckage groaning as it settled, friends of ours standing in a daze on their porch, their durable old house still standing despite a direct hit of the tornado, but gravely damaged, and with a new view from the backyard down the slope to the devastated ground zero just to the east, the fresh bleeding wounds of a town that is only slowly healing.

weathafella Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Quintessential breezy bright autumn day today. A beauty. I told my wife heat on all the time by weeks end although I'll be away and she likes the house chilly so who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This has to be one of the "nicest" Octobers in a while. Dry, warmish. Boring but pleasant. Low energy costs. Plenty of outdoor things Splendid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Here is one I took the other day on Talcott Mountain. Fall in New England is just wonderful. I wish I could capture it with a better camera. Nice. Is that the hill that goes up from West Hartford toward Avon? 53.7/31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Boy--what a bizarre way to end the Pats game. Oh, well. The offense sucked again--as did the defense--so the loss was well deserved. Really nice day out there today--wind's pretty much gone calm at this point. 51.5/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Nice fall day today. Brisk, breezy, and mostly sunny. The leaves are about 75% down save for some lingering yellows and browns. The red oaks are mostly brown at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Man, Dave--you cool nicely. I'm at 46.2/34 attm. I'm even warmer than that....47F right now. Still getting good breezes out of the NW and clouds rolling off Mansfield are not allowing us to fall at all. This may be the theme this week with SNE being colder than northern VT at night if we have cyclonic NW flow keeping clouds and wind around....while downwind you have clear skies and strengthening surface inversion allowing for decoupling.

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Got another solid freeze overnight. At or below 32F since 230am. If the last freeze did not end my growing season, this one should polish it off. I'm already noticed some of my grass on the shady side of the house going brown. Looks like the official low will be around 30-31F. Edit: Low of 30F officially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
