Hiking trails going to be all mud and leaves tomorrow. This stuff is moving slowly. Spent most of the afternoon/evening in St J (aka St Johnsbury, NEK, not far from my house) and it’s been raining there for several hours. Got to my house and it’s pouring now, but hasn’t been raining for very long. 0.81 for the day (but 0.57 of that was early this morning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Despite radar returns, pretty mellow lines of storms tonight. Looks like best action was West. Temp down to 58/56 with -RA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Over an inch since 3pm, looks to be becoming more showery. Normally it would be a chilly October rain this time of year with a good 7 hours of synoptic style rain, but still feels mild with dews remaining in the 50s.

Last time it waited until May around here was 5/21/95. Although, 2015 data is missing from the local ASOS when BOX reported 5/4 as first 70+.

jbenedet Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I really wish we could shake these deeply -NAO patterns that seemingly setup like clock-work every 2nd half Oct and April, and vanish in the heart of winter. This week we start paying for it. It makes things more northern UK-ish weather-wise and prolongs the cold season/reduces the growing season. I hope it’s more bad luck than a climo shifting phenomenon, but it’s one reason -among many others—making me want to move much further south.

The “cold patterns” have been very poorly timed for snow-lovers and warm weather lovers alike. Poorly timed “cold patterns” which increasingly appears a regularity in early to mid spring and early to mid fall. I could grow from mid April to mid November if not for these one-to 2 day rogue frosts/freezes. Instead we’ll get frost and freeze in late oct and 55 on Christmas. Morch and Napril? Sound familiar?

I don’t recall any late frosts in the Spring? I mean they happen, but we’ve been having some mild springs. May 2020 I guess would be one? But overall it’s been mild. Falls have been mild.

There is no cold pattern coming . It’s an overall AN pattern right thru Helloween Maybe 1-2 days come in BN. Very low chance of any frosts or freeze thru month end. And it looks mainly sunny any dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day in there topped in mid 30’s. It was brutal. I remember bc I was putting some of my seedlings into the ground. Last year most of northern New England lost their flowers/crops in late September/very early October due to sig cold pattern that then disappeared through year end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s on you if you’re planting seedlings into the ground without cold protection in NH in mid to late April. You probably would’ve really hated living here in the 60s, 70s, and 80s when we were getting frosts at CON at the end of August and the middle of June with 30s sprinkled through July.

I mean anything garden related I wait until May. Also depending where in NNE, isn’t that climo for end of growing season? Not trying to bust balls, just saying.

But I’m not feeling confident and acting on it until after the 25th. Where I’m at, it isn’t early *unless* you get the very poorly timed sig cold weather pattern. We have also talked at great length about the ++ temp anomalies being greatest at night. I’m seeing this here, throughout the year... Basically, all I’m trying to say is we have seen things mild up but it has NOT translated to longer growing season. WHY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 4/15 isn’t close to climo even where you are. Heck we can get highs below freezing in mid April…nm lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not the 60’s - 80’s. I’m talking about today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
