I'm not feeling too greedy so I will go ahead and lock this in for next week.  Hopefully GFS will process the paperwork prior to the next run.

Hopefully it will be a return to the world of exploding Miller Bs

There have been quite a few runs with something...though 3 feet is probably asking a little too much.  Temps look like they are coming back to earth a bit and storms starting to pop, so something positive in a month of shit so far.  At the very least, there's legit snowmaking windows.

We just need normal temps.  It’s been like pulling teeth but normal will get it done, ha.

Some of my insurance companies have issued underwriting moratoriums for Mass.

Because of wildfires?

Wind is really picking up.

yes please!

Bad omen for here - bare ground while 20 miles away at similar elevation has 12"+.  12z GFS (from PF) also zero to 12+ within 20 miles.
Nice for points N and W, however.

That would be something for opening weekend of deer season in VT.  Might not make it to camp. Actually, that's Sunday so I would get up there Friday night but might not be able to make it home.  Let's do this!

It's not like it hasn't been dry up here but nowhere near what you guys have had.  I was out inspecting a snowmobile trail project earlier this afternoon and this is what the woods look like around here.  This wasn't even the wettest part.

We are getting some very heavy showers - 0.15” of rain and sleet in a matter of minutes. Bizarre

Did you happen to see a sled stuck in that mud with a flailing winter wolf on it?

Walking the dog in the woods behind my house was like walking on parchment paper. 

Ticks are out and rampaging in big numbers.

I think he stores it in the County.  Might be wetter there - Fort Kent had about twice what I had.

Fire right off 93 in Wilmington. Spreading fast towards someone’s house, fire department wasn’t even there yet 

 

Yup that was my friends house.   Gorgeous house and it was heading right for it but they got there in time.  Good job FD !!    They also said they sent lots of spiders toward Hartford for Wiz

Had a couple of showers…I swear one started with pingers. 46° now.

Yes sir..she’s housed in Frenchville.   But It’ll be heading to FKPS(Fort Kent Powersports) Tuesday for a factory recall.  Ya, not as dry up there as here. 

[weatherwiz]

Pretty wild. With this wind outside given it’s November 8 you would expect it to be quite cold but it’s actually not terrible out. A bit chilly but could be a lot worse given the wind 

[ineedsnow]

its a start!
