The damage to that large tent is wild.

Even saw a street sign on RT 108 pushed to like a 45 degree angle.  Fences blown down.  Might’ve gusted 60+ at some point on the NW downslope off Mansfield into town.

Looks cloudy and cold. Why do people still go to that god forsaken place?

Damn, the NAM barely has a sprinkle tomorrow S of VT/NH border. 

And prior runs had 40’s and 1-2” south of 90 . Still garbage . A few I know of were giving it some weight.

Pretty wild gusts this morning.  42mph with leaves is always exciting.

Go throw some matches around. You'll get that brush fire you've always dreamed of.

It would go up in a second today . Low RH, strong winds no rain in months, dry leaves and vegetation .

That is going to be a big financial hit for a lot of people.

59/29

May be a race between high clouds and a freeze tonight.

I also wonder if NNE can slip in some brief sleet at the onset tomorrow morning thanks to some midlevel dry air.

Ha at 7am it was.  Sunny now but actually colder than it was then.

In southern VT today (Manchester).  Lots of leaves already down

What a day though.

70 here ... you guys are talking 50s up there?  it's interesting how weak the actual caa terms must be.  like the flow is parallel to thickness gradient. 

nevertheless... once the ceiling arrives and 'caps' the chilly air and then starts raining into this 'thermodynamic' cold air mass... that's the first real nasty look of the autumn.  talking 50s and wet ~ 100 miles either side of line from alb-bos. yuck. and yes, the seemingly perfunctory october snow chance has arrived - it's part of the new climate signal ...leave it at that, which has been recurring often enough to raise eyebrows.  it's just situated a little n of 40 n this time, but here we are again ... mid october with a d-drip. 

then, anyone noticing that that warm signal next weekend?  wow.  if anything, the 850 mb metric is probably underdone at this range/given to the 500 mb isohypses evolution.  that's an impressire -pnap continent.  590 dm hghts to almost alb in the gfs is impressive, particularly when it's not merely there for just a day.   we'll see ... still a couple days to mess it up before it gets more confident, but the fact that the pna index is hugely correcting from +1 all the way -1, while the ao/nao are switching positive..    yeah

A piece of the pumps canopy was torn off at Irving's Big Stop on Rt 2 in Farmington; looks like no one was underneath at the time.  Road blockages and power outages common all over Franklin County.  Our genny is into its 6th hour

Leaves are gone around my house; pretty much 95% sticks. Still nice in lower elevation areas though

[ma blizzard]

lets see if we can sneak in a frost tonight before clouds

 dews dropping into the mid 20s currently

70’s next weekend into following week . Torch!

Although I do think it's going to be on the milder side, I don't think it's in 70s through next week. Who knows, maybe you'll be right this time. But we should see 2-3 days around those temps

My electric blinked a couple of times.

[tamarack]

Generator shut off at 3:10 after 5:45 running time.

Found a few leaves, but no grandkids to jump into them.  Dog has no interest at all.

I think 10% of Maine is without power. Good luck!

Looks like a cold week relative to normal, then warm from Friday beyond for a couple of weeks. In the old days it was called Indian Summer (for those who have a frost, which looks quite possible). I don't know what the politically correct term is now. Indigenous People's Summer sounds both ridiculous and even more politically incorrect.

So, on the actual weather/climate front. We will probably have a weak to practically non-existant La Nina. You can't blame the the Nina/Nino family for the warm spell. But what does it portend for November?

Despite the wind today was pretty nice, would have watched the Bruins game outside if not for the wind. But sat outside after the game, getting chilly now because I’m losing the sun in the backyard…this is when the wind really sucks

Stein going wild with low dews in the droughty areas of SNE.

If it’s going to fail I hope it’s via Stein and not 6” of rain per winter month.

Thats kind of my thought process . I think instead of warm and sun it’s just mild and dry with not a lot of qpf . I don’t see why this dry doesn’t continue with strong HP

[dendrite]

Man it may not hit 50° here again until Thu or Fri. Right into heating season.
