He was 101 then, passed in 2016 at 103, having forced the NWS to create yet another award (85 years). No need for the scrolls, because he actually recorded obs during the 1938 LI Express.

She started back in 1962 when she was working for the Forest Service, and kept going until early last week. Definitely one a kind across the whole NWS coop program. Expand The Farmington observer began in 1966, and I think he's well into his 80s. If there's no replacement at Eustis, there goes that whole area, as Long Falls Dam fell off the grid about 7 years ago. Pittston Farm stopped, so there's little beyond Rangeley and Jackman for all of the true western mountains and the whole of NW Maine. Phillips and Andover are technically n that forecast region (Mts) but both are relatively low elevation. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livermore Falls is 93. He didn't have to go to WWII because he was a farmer and was needed to feed the country, and jokes that he's only ever moved twice. He moved upstairs, and then moved back downstairs, since he still lives in the same house his parents owned. I never met her, but we got the news while we were installing a MMTS at Lakeport, and it was really a bummer. Without fail, she would call most days in the winter to let us know she couldn't "see the mountain" as squalls came through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I'm interested to see if someone in New England can pull out a Predecessor Rain Event (PRE) from Michael on Thursday morning.

Late May rainy-40s cutoffs can wipe out most of the young-uns. #3: have only seen 2, and I'm not up to speed with the relation between color pattern and winter severity. I'll stick with ENSO, as weak Nino has generally been good here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
