You seem a bit concerned? Or is it just to early?

The months Im concerned are DJFM, those are the months i care about. Its early November so I'm not terribly concerned at the moment. It's more a -PNA that's killing us. If we see a similar pattern or something worse like an AL vortex by 11/30 then maybe I'll worry for December. I do have some concern the month of December could be in trouble, but way too early to worry about the winter. Even December could suck and then turn around mid month. You never know.

So the bottom line is basically not to lose sleep over it yet. Most winters are not wire to wire snow anyways so something to keep in mind.

huh?

 

Wouldn't that suggest tough times for us?

 

Regardless of that, I''m amused to see what seems to be many people queuing up on the railings of the Sagamore Bridge.  I'm feeling fine about things thus far.  Of course, the first storm that doesn't show a ton of qpf at the Pit will have me freaking out.

Correct. Your wind speed went lighter in that stretch and you were more prone to variable turbulence. How high up is your anemometer?

 

Question for the expert on siting.....

 

Would you think 20' in the vicinity of trees would be a better siting 8' in an open area?  I know my current one comes in pathetically low.

I think Nov will be above normal, but there is still enough variability with the MJO to perhaps makes things along the nrn tier more interesting. I don't necessarily mean here, but perhaps Plains..etc. 

my concerns are 2 fold.  Lack of any precip last few months and a never ending blowtorch (heck the cold at the end of October underperformed)....indexes starting to go in the crapper. (PNA, AO NAO etc)   Reminds me exactly of how our most putrid winters have started...and those were in the face of decent winter predictions....

Lack of precip means very little. We had plenty of wet falls that turned to ****.

I saw the NYC Marathon was run today....hope Blizzy finished ok (with that injury he was talking about before he stopped posting) and was pleased with his time.

Running marathons is impressive. I've only run a half marathon and that was more than enough for me.

 

That's right, I forgot he was running that.  it might have been a little breezy for it, but no concerns with the temps.

It amazes me that anyone would be "concerned" about winter in November or even in December.  I've seen too many winters turn on a dime like you said to be concerned at any juncture.  I'd be OK with anything and happy if we repeat last year and extend winter through March and the first week of April so I can have another awesome maple season.
