And October's 0.26" came on the 29th, after the fires were pretty much under control.  Most of the fire damage came during the week Oct. 21-27 and the temps are shown below:
21   69   48
22   70   37
23   83   35   I think that's the latest that PWM has reached 83, though they hit 84 on 10/17.
24   59   26
25   65   20
26   65   37
27   73   39

 The worst came on 23-24 when strong SW winds abruptly veered to NW as a dry CF passed thru, with gusts 50+ reported.  Don't know the RH but the diurnal ranges give some indication.  Forest firefighters know they cannot attack the head of a crown fire and only work in front of it from a distance when setting up fire lines and/or burnouts, but rather attack the flanks and clean up the rear (pun intended.)  That wind shift turned the right flank into the head in a few minutes, putting a lot of folks in instant danger though I think the fatalities occurred elsewhere.

And if I remember correctly they tried to set up fire breaks along highways like Route 1, but the strong winds allowed the flames to jump the road.

The Kennebunk fire jumped not only Rt 1 but more than a half mile of ocean to torch a small island off the coast of Kennebunkport.  In the 1963 Jersey pine barrens fire, a firebreak was set up on the Garden State Parkway - 4 lanes, shoulders and a grassy median.  It worked for 4-5 miles of highway but jumped a mile long section.  All that blackened woods was impressive a couple months later when my dad took us down to Tuckerton to fish on Great Bay.  Updrafts of a hot fire can carry burning bits of wood a long way.

At least fall has the foliage. Spring is utterly useless in New England. Pure garbage. I wish we’d go right from winter to summer.

This year we tried our hardest.  Multiple snow accumulations even down low in May followed by all-time record heat like a week after the final accumulating event.  

Thats how I wish it would go every year. Although we know better.  And if we are getting borderline spring snow events up here though, it probably means the weather really sucked elsewhere.

Newport, VT doesn’t seem like Pickles’ jam if his options were swanky Stowe Mtn Lodge or swanky Newport, RI.  He knows where the cougar habitats are.

Spruce peak will beat any hotel in Newport, RI hands down IMO, and for half the cost . Got a couple hours of some good rains moving in now , wonder if a few drinks at bar will have me napping by 7pm

You do understand how those work right? It’s built into the algorithm. I’ve seen you post these silly forecasts in the winter mentioning snow everyday and it flurries once. There’s probs everyday for rain. You’ll maybe see measurable one of those days lol

Post on Wednesday night how many days it rained and your total and we’ll match it up to your posted forecast 

 

 

I'll start posting now. :)

No big heat and no drought.  Bet that'll get tossed.

I think we’ll take the Mets ideas and expertise over a set of charts that hasn’t been right in any season ever. Should be plenty of warmth and humidity next 10 days. Unless you missed the memo.. I’m a dew guy.. much prefer high dews even if it’s 78/70. I couldn’t care less about big heat unless it’s accompanied by high dews

I mean it’s just a snapshot of the Euro run verbatim.  Just because it’s graphical doesn’t mean its not what the model says.

I totally get if you think the Euro just isn’t correct on both temps and precip, but that chart isn’t the reason it’s wrong lol.
