OceanStWx Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Nice photo from your office. Congrats. Also congrats on second warmest October on record at PWM, then starting November off with a snowfall, lol. Also, no official temp of 32 at PWM yet. This will be the first time they've had first measurable before first freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Winds gusting out of the north, but temps spiking? up to 35.3 from 31.9 at 1:30pm. Downslope dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Any snow is a good start this time of year. I'll be changing my observation location. I'd move to Montana in a heartbeat (10acres 12k) but health will prevent it. .50" accumulation on top of the Hill here. Melting fast... FOOTBALL!

Lava Rock Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Downslope dandy. Camden getting pounded : THE CAMDEN HILLS WILL BETHE SWEET SPOT WHERE LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OVER 18" ARE POSSIBLE. Pretty crazy that mid coast/DE will pull off totals in excess of most, if not any storm around my hood in the dead of winter. Seems so hard to break 12" around here.

OceanStWx Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Honestly could be the biggest storm of the year for many Midcoast locales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This storm did have a spring appeal like Tippy said. Temps went up several degrees as snow ended here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This storm did have a spring appeal like Tippy said. Temps went up several degrees as snow ended here. Thats what you get when there's basically no cold air advection behind the storm...the airmass is actually rapidly modifying behind it. So its more like neutral advection, lol....throw in some downsloping and afternoon insolation, and there you go...rising temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it just had that feel of a late season event in a way for those reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yeah it just had that feel of a late season event in a way for those reasons. It's November, but still really early for snow events...so it's hard to maintain cold when precip shuts off this time of the year during the daytime hours. So yeah, we get that late March feeling. Even October 30, 2011 was like that...the snow ended at like 5am...we had ripping NW winds all the next day but we still spiked into the lower to mid 40s with some melting.

Did you notice any interesting differences in elevation near MQE? Coming down from the Dedham hills to the rt 1 exit can be a weenie ride where 100-200' makes a difference.

powderfreak Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Look up Mars Hill, ME where Ski Bigrock Mountain is...a little north of Houlton. I've skied there once and it's a cool part of Maine, wayyyy out there, but man they look to be getting absolutely hammered right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nittany88 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Also, no official temp of 32 at PWM yet. This will be the first time they've had first measurable before first freeze. No 32F reading at BTV either in October. Only the third time in recorded history and the first time in 94 years. Last time was Oct 1920. Also occurred way back in 1894.

Should throw that up on social media and see what folks think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
