Rich's Local Weather Discussion:
10/16 - 6:36 AM: Clear skies and a bright full moon made it look like daytime outside this morning. Clouds will be on the increase today as coastal system gets its act together off the DELMARVA. (Area of Delaware/Maryland/Virginia) and track north to the Gulf of Maine where rapid Cyclogenesis(The formation or intensification of a cyclone or low-pressure storm system.) will occur. The models are still not in complete agreement on the track of this system. There is a possibility that the Monadnocks could see 3" or 4" of rainfall. Looks like the heaviest rainfall may be around 8AM Thursday. That will be followed by strong gusty winds and colder temps on Thursday. The models depict this storm as unusually strong for this time of year. There are wind advisories now posted for a large area of New England. This storm is progressive and will be gone by later Thursday, though gusty winds may linger into Friday. Temps will modify a bit this weekend. Next storm arrives around Monday night/Tuesday of next week. Stay tuned.
SYNOPSIS...NH/ME
A major Nor`easter will move across New Hampshire and Maine from
Wednesday into Thursday. Heavy rain and strong winds are
expected across the area with damaging winds possible along the
coast. The low will move out on Friday with upslope showers
lingering to start the weekend. High pressure will build in for
the weekend before another cold front moves through next week.
SYNOPSIS...MA
High pressure just offshore will provide dry weather this morning.
However a powerful coastal storm develops along the NJ coast late
today and then moves northeast up the I-95 corridor of CT, RI and MA
tonight into Thursday. This will bring periods of very heavy rain
and strong to perhaps damaging winds to the region before exiting
the region later Thursday. High pressure builds in with cool, windy
conditions the rest of Thursday through Friday. Milder temperatures
with continued dry conditions expected this weekend as high pressure
moves overhead. There will be a chance for showers Monday night and
Tuesday as the next weather system approaches from the west.
SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM THURSDAY/...
400 AM update ...
*** Strong to damaging winds possible tonight and Thursday ***
*** Heavy rain tonight with localized 3-4" amounts possible ***

10/15 - 6:54 PM: Chilly tonight with lows around the freezing mark. There has not been a frost in eastern MA, until tonight. See the advisory above. Our Wednesday Nor'Easter has been delayed. Expect the bulk of this storm Wednesday night and Thursday. Models still disagree on the track and strength of this storm system, but the wind forecast seems pretty solid, I would expect wind advisories to be hoisted in the morning, so check back. Previous discussion: A clear and sunny start to Wednesday but clouds will be on the increase as a Nor'Easter forms offshore, south of the region off the DELMARVA (Area of Delaware/Maryland/Virginia) and track north to the Gulf of Maine where rapid Cyclogenesis(The formation or intensification of a cyclone or low-pressure storm system.) will occur. This will bring heavy rain to the region through Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. Looks like the heaviest rainfall may be around 8AM Thursday. That will be followed by strong gusty winds and colder temps on Thursday. The models depict this storm as unusually strong for this time of year. Temps will modify a bit this weekend. Next storm arrives around Monday night/Tuesday of next week. Stay tuned.
SYNOPSIS...NH/ME
It will be a cold night tonight under high pressure with valley
locations dropping below freezing. The high moves east on Wednesday
with increasing clouds through the day. By Wednesday night rain
will begin moving into the area as a Nor`easter moves up the
East Coast. Rain could be heavy at times through early Thursday
along with gusty onshore winds near the coast. As the storm
moves away on Thursday expect gusty west winds across the entire
area. Cool high pressure builds in for the weekend.
SYNOPSIS...MA
Dry, fall-like weather continues into Wednesday morning. A
strengthening storm system will move up the coast Wednesday,
moving across the region Wednesday night into Thursday. This
will bring periods of heavy rain and strong winds to the region
before moving off later Thursday. High pressure builds in with
cool, windy conditions the rest of Thursday through Friday, then
possible frost/freeze conditions later Friday night. Milder
temperatures with continued dry conditions expected this weekend
as high pressure moves overhead. There will be a chance for
showers Monday night and Tuesday as the next weather system
approaches from the west.

Anrik's 3G program. what is it you ask, well here it is.
1. Go Green- install rain sensors on systems, upgrade old sensors to new modern sensors, install systems instead of hoses, micro drip for plants. sprinkler upgrades.
2. Be Green- sacrificing on watering scheduling and run times, using rain sensors and delays will still keep the landscapes green.
3. Save Green- the average home wastes over 30,000 gallons of water a year by not having a rain sensor installed or repaired. These simple, and reliable sensors can be installed for under $200.00. Most water bill savings based on Cubic feet will surpass $250.00 annually. The sensors pay for themselves the first year.
Anrik's mission is to save the environment and our customers over 1 Million gallons of water this year.

I use Ralph and Expert Fitness to repair my treadmill. They offer great service and are very knowledgeable. I've been very pleased with all of the repairs Expert Fitness has done on my Treadmill. Considering how much exercise equipment costs, it is a far better deal to have it repaired rather than replaced.
I highly recommend them.
