No need for snow at my age.  Throw in a rogue 18-24" snow, otherwise, let 'er torch.

In that case the five boroughs and my postage stamp can be the Senior Center. A rogue is possible but that’s what it would have to be, As always ....

Time for you to leave New England lol..if you’re hating the winter at this point in your life, it ain’t gonna get better pal.  Time to move significantly south for you it seems.

Especially that prime snow real estate known as SEMA. Can’t escape big snows and winter there.

Why the storm on Halloween Week is so important....

As the ECMWF series seems to be falling in with the potentially dire GFS outline for a major East Coast storm the week of Halloween, I thought it smart to discuss what the big deal is if the disturbance verifies.

1) With a fairly amplified +PNA alignment at 500MB, the chance for a great deal of polar air from Canada to cover the eastern half of the country is very high. The nocturnal frost line Oct 31 - Nov 2 could reach down to the Interstate 40 cities, east of the Rocky Mountains.

2) This system will NOT be a major snow maker. Most of the energy and moisture with the combinant (tropical + cold core) system will be along and to the right of the storm track, which I suspect will be quite close to the Atlantic shoreline above Norfolk VA. There could be some snow shower/squall threats in the Great Lakes and Appalachia, however.

3) While it is too soon to determine likely pressure and wind elements with this feature, the consistency of the GFS series for the development and general motion of low pressure from the Caribbean Sea is startling. A blend of the 1991 and 2012 oceanic storm analogs remains viable.

4) If this gyre does form, it will NOT be an indicator of what the upcoming winter will be like. It is just too early!

You got to think the garbage underneath  will burn for awhile

There was a fire up here at a company that manufactured bark mulch and it was month or better before they got it under control as they had to keep digging down to get to extinguish it.

A couple years ago there was a fire at a wood pellet factory in Canada, needless to say that lasted a good while.

Same type of deal, It just kept burning downward and they just couldn't get enough water to penetrate the pile, They just kept trying to douse it with a fixed boom too, Had to get in with excavators to keep opening it up to get to the bottom.

Sounds like Citi Field in New York. They just keep digging and digging and just can't put that dumpster fire out.

It was massive brush piles on top of the slope that were burning last night.  We've had several substantial storms over the summer and there was much brush and limbs that had to be removed from communities, I'm guessing the brush was waiting to be processed and then composted.  It looked like a grass fire may have started at a distant part of the landfill, spread to the brush operation, and then just took off.
