Sometimes it only takes one monster system out there to fix a couple bad weeks. Yeah we'll see. Hopefully we luck out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December looks pretty nice here on the weeklies....lets hope they have a clue. Lots of cold up north and we're mostly in on it in New England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some years ya see it early, sometimes ya don’t. It has no bearing on the season as a whole imo. Plenty of great seasons started snowless in November.

To be honest flakes and graupel on two days in a week in the second week of November in CT sounds pretty close to seasons in seasons… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean up here I’ve seen anywhere from a 6-inch November on the mountain to a 60-inch November… and that’s just like the past 15 years. It’s a highly variable month so it feels like seasons in seasons to be variable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was skiing glades that November (2018) My past two winters up here have featured massive Grinch Storms that shut down cross country skiing and snow mobiling, and that closed the skit trails at BW that didn't get man-made snow... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 2018 is known as Snowvember in the ski industry. That was obscene. Only 40” or greater Mansfield depth on record in November. Had like 60” cumulative that month on the hill, everything skiable, glades on Thanksgiving weekend, etc. Thats by far more of an outlier than a November like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it’s a crapshoot everywhere in November…even up in northern N.E. Some years it’s feast, and some years it’s…Not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted November 19, 2021 Author Share Posted November 19, 2021 Got just about all of my raking done from 9am to 430pm...I wanted to do it a bit later in the season , but the weather was just too nice to pass up the chance.

Yea, the lady next to me paid to have it done...like 3 times the amount of leaves gone in like 90min.

Anything I can do, I need to…since the things that I can’t do (or I’m afraid to) like plumbing and complex electrical work cost big monies.

Typhoon Tip Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 You guys are spoiled oct is not really a climo snow month in any perception, anecdotal or rational measure … when expanding back to 1980. … I don’t know if the last 15 years is quite yet enough to “count on“ snow and I certainly wouldn’t call it seasonal to have snow in October. Nov is only half over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
