And really, the last thing I want to see is snow before Thanksgiving... usually not a good omen Love the comedy this morning. We are right where we should be despite the comical posts today…good stuff. Most inland locations will most likely frost early next week. And if not, then the Halloween cold shot, that was supposed to be a big warm shot lol will do it. Everything is on track. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 70’s for this week that were talked about last week? That has backed off too. It goes both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when folks wait 9 months for the 50% chance to have less than 30-60” of snow (general average spread where people live) in SNE I usually worry about them every season. If I couldn’t chase snow I’d be in a padded room waiting for A winter that makes me happy . Id actually like to do a psychological experiment and put powder freak on The cape for the T giving to April 1 period and monitor his vitals and give him access to A room with a ceiling fan , local forecasts , thermometer , rain boots a bottle of Jack and a reindeer sweater 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you know this too. It won’t be last year…and that’s all I/we need to know. It will be better. Even if I finish at 30” this year, which is 18-20” below normal, it’ll feel big. It’s a win win this year due to last year being so dam bad. The bug and cricket, and the fake cold BS talk is fun…and sparks conversation, which is good, but we all know it means nothing in the grand scheme of things, on what the winter will bring. Like I said above, we had posts last Thursday/Friday talking about 70 plus for this eeek…that won’t be happening. Nice autumn cool shot coming early next week now. And all of a sudden Halloween looking quite crisp now(after the blowtorch look of prior runs). But we have bug and cricket and mosquito talk, and endless summer talk. Either way…I’ll be sledding in N. Maine as I always do, and that gets me my fill, whether we rat or not. But as of now, I don’t see a rat walking in again. So I’m the record saying so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to. More shit going on in life for me to care about. Sure it’s disappointing, but I know warm season is coming up and lately that hasn’t disappointed. Perhaps too much rain this summer, but overall summer temps and SSTs going up. Works for me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn’t get to me as much anymore either. Disappointing..yes, as you said. But as you also pointed out, it’s just weather now. Love the excitement of an approaching winter potential as much as I ever did. But if things don’t pan out, it’s not as much of a let down anymore either. But we will do better this year than last.

But Then spring is just about here by that time anyway, so maybe not even that. Ahh well, another winter in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually been 4 ratters in a row, I didn't think last year could have been worse than the year before, but it was. Odds are on our side though, an average winter would be the best of the last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly in the lower levels - I'm not sure that is intended or if that is an artifact of a 'bug' in the rendering, but I kind of like it. If studying the loop of that image, you can clearly tell by behavior that is highlighting the RH fields trapped below some 900 or so mb inversion.

Ah, ok - didn't realize they changed something. That's actually a relief.
