Not calling for just one storm. We will have cold spells, of course, maybe some extended periods ( a week or more) and if they coincide with a good winter storm, that will make it seem like a decent winter. I mean the overall winter looks like it will be warm. If the pattern really sucks and cold spells are of the one or two day order and storms don't coincide, then a lot of people will be (figuratively) jumping off bridges. I won't be one of them. I won't be astonished if everything turns around and we have a slam bang fantastic winter either. It is New England, after all. But the signs are for a warm winter, "warm" being relative to climotology. If we were in Oklahoma City, where my Mom's side of the family hails from, our warm winter would be considered almost apocalyptically snowy and cold.

Hear ya.  It’s all relative.  Well, look at the hurricane season forecast.  All signs pointed to a very active year, and the forecast was for just that. What a flop that official forecast was.  Ya just don’t know, and I guess that’s still the fun part.  Take care J Paul.

Sun trying to break through just as the horizon is dimming. May only reach 53 for the high. Perfect November day to do some yard work.

Sunny and crisp since midday here.

Absolutely. But when people in the US think of this year's slow hurricane season, they'll be massively influenced by the impact of Helene and Milton. A lot of folks will think of it as the hurricane season from hell. As they say, location, location, location, and it's all about the sensible weather. Thank goodness we measure the "success" of a winter by big snowstorms. We can enjoy watching them from the comfort of our homes, or rage about them as we take two hours to travel five miles on the highway, but most of us will never have the experience of having our homes wiped away and our livelihoods destroyed.

Enjoy the weather Wolf, its the only weather we have. And its a lot more fun than politics!

I enjoy the climate where I live now:
Small tornados   (I'm quite happy seeing bigger ones only on media.)
Small earthquakes
Small hurricanes
Big snowstorms

And look what happened with this years hurricane season. They first called for a very active season, then when we got to around August they brought that number down as everything just slowed down to a halt... Now Patty has formed way out near the Azores, and the next dorm is just about to form down in the Caribbean. That would bring us to 17 storms. Not bad to end off the hurricane season.
