Ahh ok…good to know. I stand corrected then. Thanks John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian5671 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Dry here-just overcast and humid-guessing the drizzle inland is from S winds lifting over elevated terrain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Yesterday was the 16th straight totally dry day, probably the longest such run I've had here, though I'm too lazy to look very hard for a longer one. I did look up September 2020, which had only 0.15" thru the 29th (and 1.14" in a howling NE storm on the 30th - ran the genny 10 hours, longest since installation). That month had a 14-day dry spell. Jan-Feb 2010 had a 25-day run with no measurable but with 5 trace days, one of which was a 0.1" dusting. In the 3 days since I posted the "Early Corner" pic at peak, we've had major leaf drop, now at 70% and near total where that pic was taken. All this with very little wind. I guess when it's time, it's time, weather or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get 2” and some breeze, it’ll be stick season real fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No biggie... not terribly important in the grand scheme of things; pretty common occurrence in these low-level saturated setups. Visibility down to a few hundred feet in the hills... at least locally... couple models, especially euro, the nailed eastern CT rain this morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Lots of color on the maples all around. Norway's just turning brown and dropping. Oaks starting to turn orange, brown, and yellow, but lots of green on them still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metagraphica Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Nice showers this morning with a few minutes of heavy rain mixed in. And now suddenly the sun is peeking through. Sun doesn't look to last very long as more showers moving up from the south. 64/63 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layman Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Lots of green still in my area. Feels late, but as we look through pics from prior years it seems to be right on schedule. Pic taken just now. This ancient oak is always the last to leaf out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured today would be a misty/drizzly day in places. MOS/NBM profiles across the region yesterday were showing some low visibility numbers with BR in the obs. Sometimes you'll see the NAM go wonky with that stuff but GFS/NBM were like that too so consensus was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a much better diet than most guys I know just over 50! I've always watched out for that and just can't believe some of the crap I see some regularly stuffing their faces with! Fast/processed food is such poison. BTW Thai food FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with low clouds/fog/mist/drizzle with very spotty areas of light rain, but nothing significant for the majority of the region until later this evening; did highlight eastern CT for some decent showers this morning into early afternoon... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Still ... for me, I like seeing the 540s hydrostats atop -2C at 800 mbs arriving on the NAM/FOUS grid. Hearkens the spirit of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that eve do anything for sne or is this weenie science . I recall folks salivating for Siberian snow cover or something in October ...then that fetish went away . Seems like it fills a void for something for someone in sne to do While they wait for winter to appear in December or whenever it may . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
