WEATHER BLOG: Return To Fall

Hi Everyone!

Today a return to Fall as a shot of cool air slides down the I-95 corridor. This is called a "back door front" as it goes against the normal W to E movement of weather systems. But this is what happens when you have a BIG high over Eastern Canada. I always say, "Weather is where the air comes from." Well yesterday the breezes were from the WSW where it is still mild, (and where people laugh at us in the Winter.) Today those breezes are coming from the ENE where snow is already hitting the higher elevations of Vermont and New Hampshire.

Tomorrow we see a return to a WSW flow. A push of mild air coming our way ahead of a pretty strong cold front that will bring us some big rain on Thursday. For at least 2 days, Wed/Thur, we will be back in the mid to upper 60's.

Today's record are 75-1928, and 20-1996. Second day in a row 1996 has the low record for the date.

I saw a Wooly Bear Caterpillar yesterday, and it had a lot of brown on its furry body. Allegedly that would indicate a mild Winter. That works!  (And better or that will be one sorry creature soon.)  Paraphrasing our friends in Pittsburgh football nation…."Here we go El Nino here we go!" Let's crank that big boy up and have a mild Jan/Feb/March!
