Would someone be so kind to enlighten me as to what "R-wave" refers to?

I tried looking it up but didn't see anything really relating to weather aside from a post referencing graphing temps as a sine wave.  

Rossby Waves. Think of them as mid to upper level ridges and troughs. This has a nice animation.  https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/rossby-wave.html

GFS op and Euro op are very different here around day 10. Euro is quite mild while GFS drops another big cold front.

Sure. I don’t get too excited either way beyond 2-3 weeks. I just don’t do the whole “feel” thing. Last Novie flipped to below normal toward mid month as well.

I agree that each winter tends to have an overall vibe to it. 11/8 just seems a little early for me to gauge that.

Agree 100% with both if these.

November doesn't look torchy

Flip a coin or lean to ensembles.  They seem to split the difference so above normal but not extreme nor long lasting.

The ensembles have a milder period, but not really atypical for November IMO. End of EPS was intriguing with EPO ridge into Canada and SW US troughing. Would need to wait several days after I think for anything exciting.

And so is saying December will end up a torch on November 7th… 

I absolutely agree. Doesn't anyone remember last year about the same time? There are many calling for a December to remember as far as snowfall goes. And a lot of people were on board. Well, we all know, it was completely opposite. So, to be saying that's going to be a torch December now is laughable. But I feel like this is a conversation that's repeated often. Anything can happen, anything can change, and it will change, especially a month out. Anyone who feels otherwise, good luck with the disappointment ( and if you're right, consider yourself very lucky ).

Gotta love Kevin's confused face on your post ..lololol.

today certainly feels like November. 40 degrees with a little breeze. lunchtime walkabout was a little nippy on the hands.

[dryslot]

Made it to 40°F for a high and now back down to 37.7°F, But those gusty NW winds in the 30mph+ range is really giving today one of the first taste of a wintry feel outside.

Cool animation!  Wonderfully demos how New England is canonically screwed out of warm air at the end of that cinema, too

Those storms through January 2013 porked me, but it was nice to see Novie snow. 

13 years ago got my first snow of 2 inches on the way to an unreal year of 10/11

We have one or two oaks that are still mostly green. Usually a lot of leaves still on the trees by the time of the last town pickup in early December.

The big oak 50 yards from the house is down to about 20% leafed.  The pin oaks planted in Farmington (they're not native to Maine) still have perhaps 3/4 of their leaves.  Usually, those trees have the brightest fall color of any oak, with a deep scarlet, but this year they were a mousey yellow with only a sprig here and there showing any red.

Wind is backing down, but this morning it was fierce - dumped a large dead ash on our road (and fortunately it broke apart for easy removal) and not only blew around the traffic cones where some roadwork was being done in New Sharon but also tipped over some of the 4-foot-square caution signs.  The 38 when I reset the max-min last evening will hold as the day's high.

He's needs to remember...

 

He sees you when you're slanting,

He knows when your temps are fake,

He knows when your obs are bad or good,

So be good for weenie's sake.

Next Monday night/Tuesday might be a good appetizer for winter in the upslope spots in NNE. 
 

Im expecting currier and Ives photos…hopefully Stowe hasn’t turned on the pavement melters yet.

Yeah there’s been an upslope signal bouncing around out there day 5-8 off and on recently.  GFS likes it.

Pavers aren’t on yet but probably go on the 17th if the place opens. In a world run by lawyers, god forbid someone slips and falls somewhere they are visiting almost solely for the winter weather. Gotta love the irony.
