Yesvember or November?

[bwt3650]

For the last decade November has been the only month that has averaged near to below normal.
Every other month has torched especially the winter months. So what agenda is that?

They have an agenda..period. Anyone can see it.

That could be a gradient we see to start early December haha.

That would trigger some wellness checks for some on here.

I was at 22 when my dog got me up at 4:30, probably was the low.

First week of December might favor that with the semi-marginal airmasses. 
 

It would normally be a torch pattern but the NAO block keeps it marginal instead. Then the PAC improves after that.

Scooters been hinting at it too. Just missing out on one tomorrow night . Maybe the following week something happens .

Second week of December looks to be better for some snow down into SNE.

So much anecdotal info in my head.   I had this impression that a good November snow wise was very positive for a good snow season in Boston.   Then I looked at the data and it’s literally all over the place.   In the least snow in a season for BOS occurred when half the total happened in November.   
 

So I looked at all Novembers with 2.0 or greater snow totals at BOS.   There were 26 of them in all of the data back 142 years.  Keep in mind that the data from Logan airport began in 1935.   The mean for the winter when Boston received 2.0 or more snow officially is 39.89 inches with a range from 9.0-110.6.    Incidentally the 142 year long term average is 43.1.   So I’m relaxing as raw snow totals on November aren’t really correlated too much.

Only 25-26 years here, and the most recent 10 are almost exactly on the full-period average, though month-to-month varies:  Jan avg +1.20 to March -1.17. 

The much longer POR at CAR is probably more characteristic, with only March BN (-0.43) and 5 months at least +3.  Though a decade is just a blink of time when evaluating climate, that points toward warming.  However, that says little about the next few months.

Wind never fully quit last night, and the temp stopped at 12°, tied with last Tuesday for the month's coldest.

17 degrees, natural trails in November and snow making blasting. November of yore.

Looks very accurate to me for my half inch

Any chance this next storm CADs decently? The Euro looks good for the Greens/NEK and near the Notches.

Through 11/24:

BOS:  -1.3F

BDL: -1.9F

ORH: -0.7F

PVD: -2.6F

 

Do we * PVD?   I think today and tomorrow may add some negs which should dented at least a few days in the final week of the month so the numbers above are IMHO close to what we'll see in the end.

ORH has been running too warm for 3 years now. PVD more recently has been running too cold.

I noted PVD this summer. Definitely seems cold.

It’s like no one in NWS cares about important climo records at first order stations.   Very disappointing.

It's not that we don't care, it's that we can only do so much. The only reason ASOS exists is for FAA flight purposes, and they don't care about temps, so the tolerance is like +/- 2 degrees. So if temps are still falling within that range the equipment is not malfunctioning and not in need of repair. With the budgets being they way they are, we definitely can't go replacing equipment that isn't in need of it. Then if an ASOS does break, it's more likely it will just be down until a replacement part arrives.

High of 33 today . Final leaf cleanup.. Most of ground still frozen .

[wxeyeNH]

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving.  I have not been on the forums as much.  I am carefully watching the Sunday night's storm.  Getting more interesting up in my area.  Seasonal total for me is 8" so far.

Just finished mine up too, nice feeling when it's done and can relax with a beer.

Yeah you work with the budget you’re given and hope there’s enough pressure to change it-although the average voter could care less so that’s not happening.

Same here... Added gas ( checked the oil ) and it started on the first pull. Let's hope for these signs as being good omens.

Agreed, I did my final cleanup as well, however, I still have a few trees way out back holding on a few, but enough is enough. I put that blower away, snow blower oil change and go over was done a few weeks ago....we await.
