WinterWolf Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Yes, cool this morning as I was driving in at 41. Can we do a 40 degree increase by this afternoon, and pull an 81? Certainly possible. Bring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon Tip Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 weird pockets of cold air 54 in my drive way, and right around the corner about 4 tenths of a mile it's 68 ... looking around the region, these home sites stuck in the low 50s may not be wrong - it'll all homogenize at some point over the next couple of hours but for now that's annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 16 hours ago, Damage In Tolland said: @tamarackcan cite several huge burns in years like this But none in recent years. The 1947 fires in Maine came in October, as did a 3,000-acre fire in NNJ 16 years later. That latter event lasted for more than a month as fire burned underground in rocky land. Earlier in 1963 almost 200,000 acres burned in the NJ pine barrens (a fire-type ecosystem) on a windy Saturday in April. In 1977 Baxter Park saw a 3,000-acre fire following a blowdown 3 years before - gigantic fuel loading of highly seasoned wood. Fire was able to burn downhill at night, a very rare phenomenon. Since then, Maine has not seen a fire larger than 1,000 acres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatest duirnal range I've seen is 59° on Jan 11, 1980 in Fort Kent, middle day of a major see-saw: 10/-30; 38/-21; 44/4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Was in the mid-40s last evening then jumped into the 60s in the middle of the night. 68F at 9:45am is solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Been wanting to do this for several years but figured now is the time before I get any older and have kids but I'm going to start the masters program at Mississippi State University online in Fall of 2025 Just debating on whether I want to try and get it done in 2 years or draw it out longer. Anyways, pretty excited. The courses look super fun (just hopefully not crazy math intensive or heavily involving programming or I screwed ) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the increase from what you had is a load to where you were 45 minutes ago, I think getting up to 80/82 is definitely doable. It sucks though...we have to look outside at all the brown leaves since there is no nice foliage to look at ... Lolol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had sent over all my materials and got the letter of acceptance and it didn't mention anything about it. But I should double check into this.

I start off thinking it’s dull or not great and then all of a sudden it like a switch is flipped and it’s brilliant. Yup, it’s easy to do at the start, but then when it matures, and comes into its own, it’s fantastic more often than not. This year is no exception to that idea in most places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 1 hour ago, dendrite said: -21 in am to 38 pm. Right. Low was in the pre-dawn before clouds began to arrive and the high was at my 9 PM obs time. Afternoon was 15-20 with very light snow which changed to ZR/DZ in the evening, 0.5" frozen/0.05" LE. High for Jan 12 was about midnight, RA to flurries 6 AM, 29 at 8 AM, 15 at 4 PM and 4 at obs time. Winds NW 25-45. Another 0.5" SN and 0.50" LE.

You wondering this is the year with Steinbrenner running loose across the region Not even close up here. In 1947, PWM had recorded only 2.11" from July 24 thru October 28. It was their driest August since records began in 1920 and only the 0.26" on 10/29 kept that month from having only traces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
