Maine goes from growing z 3a up here to z 6a on the southern coast. a forester friend says that along the st. john river near me, there is a micro climate of z2b on the U.S side of the river. thats about 500 yards. down hill from here.
Mt Washington in New Hampshire has some crazy weather at 6200 ftā¦ They can have amazing winds at that elevationā¦over 200mphā¦
Just today locally we had 1.5 inches at the airport while the NWS (maybe a few miles as a bird flies) had near 5 inchesā¦just due to the 500ft elevation difference. Central WI is much colder and areas near Milwaukee dropping below 0F isnāt nearly as common as other parts of the state (due to L Mich).

Do you ever wish you lived close to the ocean? Iād rather have Des Moines climateā¦a lot less snow and they tap spring warmth a lot better then we do.
Weāre getting pounded with rain in SE AZ. Weāve got it coming from the South & the West!
land is insanely expensive down there. and the tourist from MA, CT, AND NY would drive me nuts! id rather deal with the cold and snow.
Ferocious wind all day, but itās died down now. No major tree damage with this one.
6-17" on the way the weather guessers say. 6" aināt bad. 17" would effectively make us homebound for a few days.
lolā¦ yeah waterfront here is very highly priced (a lot of houses on the river)ā¦
snow overnightā¦just enough to cover the ground a little. Saying another 1/2 to 2 inches locallyā¦ a lot more across N Wisconsin.
Man the cloudiness is getting oldā¦ just days and days of clouds. Keeps the nights mild but that is about it.
this time of year i welcome cloudiness. when its clear its brutally cold and usually windy.
No itās 45 and dreary looking. Iād rather see sunshine.
I just want some more light for house plants and to warm it up someā¦
So November has had 25 (today is raining/all clouds) out of 30 days of clouds/pt cloudsā¦but even the pt clouds were mostly cloudsā¦ So yeahā¦not a good time of the year for a solar panel or sun tanning
Overall been a cold month tooā¦-4F below normsā¦hasnāt seem like it. Precip running above of course. Looking ahead for Decā¦still not showing any real cold weatherā¦more of the same (30Fs)ā¦
I used to live in Bar Harbor. They have a saying: āSummer people: some are people.ā The population of the town is just a few thousand, but millions and millions visit over the course of the summer.
ā« Itās the most crappiest time of the year.
With the wind and the snow
and the blowing and blowing
and trees falling down! ā« LOL!
Itās like the apocalypseā¦end of the world weather patterā¦all we need is Yellowstone to eruptā¦ its mild but man the clouds/rain have been nonstop this month. Spitting snow this morning but pretty much no snowcover. ā¦just wet. I still have some apple trees that are clinging to most of their leavesā¦
The good? thing is there is no cold air anywhere to be seen in the next 2 weeksā¦
Just got in from plowing/shoveling/snow blowing. We had to get all of 12". Iām guessing closer to 14". Pretty nice drifts in spots. With no temps above 30 and plenty of nights in the low teens/single digitsā¦the snow wonāt be going anywhere anytime soon.
its been a very active pattern here as well but at least the clouds clear for a day every 3-4 days but its now sunny in the teens with a -0f whidchill. more snow midweek.
Alarms went off where I was in Madison County, Kentucky yesterday. Flash Flood warnings.
So, itās a struggle here in zone 6 to get much done. Ground isnāt frozen, so the flurries tonight or tomorrow wonāt stick. (Thatās good.) Actually had sunshine this morningā¦that was delightful to see. 58 when I got upā¦now around 50 on way to 32 tonight.
Been an interesting Tāday week here weather-wise. We got 26" of snow out that storm Mon-Wed. Then it turned cold (~0F), then high winds (70-90mph). Good weather to stay inside. The wind gave us the chance to shovel the same stormās snow from the walks and drive a couple of times, great fun (but probably a good way to work off Tāday dinner and leftovers).
Back to a more normal pattern for us for the next few days, clear and sunny with highs in the upper 30ās to low 40ās. Should melt things off the roads before the next round of snow.
Snow just started a few minutes ago here, already sticking. Managed to get the last of the leaf shredding and bed mulching done. I had hoped to plant the shallots that I hadnāt gotten to yet, but ground was frozen. They should keep till spring, fortunately.
