An Arctic blast of cold air is likely to roll into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions this coming week, possibly producing one of the first snowmaking weather events of the year by late week.
“A very cold airmass for early November is poised to impact the Northeast late week into next weekend. A favorable upper atmospheric pattern should allow air from northern Canada to spill into the Great Lakes and Northeast. During this cold stretch, temperatures may average 10-20 degree F below normal for most of the Northeast, including the major cities. This may influence heating oil and natural gas demand, while allowing interior Northeast ski resorts to begin making snow for the winter season ahead, stated Ed Vallee, head meteorologist at Empire Weather LLC.
Vallee shared a Temperature Anomaly map that shows from November 03-10, temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast could be significantly below trend, setting the scene for a possible snow event late next week.
Wow, a brutally cold air mass is set to be unleashed across the Northeast next weekend. Great snow making weather incoming! #natgas #energy #skinh #skivt pic.twitter.com/vbbihq9e5u

The Northeast heating degree day index prints above trend for the next 15 days, indicating natural gas and heating oil demand will likely move higher.
Vallee’s weather team at Empire Weather tweeted several posts suggesting a winter event is possibly headed to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast late next week.
Cold risks. They’re back, they’re trending more significant, and they’re going to be impactful. How long will they last? Breaking it down in the AM energy report and updates throughout the day —> https://t.co/PE86blWthO #natgas pic.twitter.com/MhpEc5OI3B

While the forecasts are still early, the exact timing and heaviest impacted regions are not yet known.
More developments will likely come early next week.
As November could begin with a major snow event in the Northeast, many are wondering what Old Man Winter has in store for North America. Weather reports from Reuters’ commodity desk suggest a “cold season” for many parts of Central and Northeast US.
“The North America winter outlook suggests a cold season across the central/northern US. If this scenario develops, it would point toward elevated winterkill risks for winter wheat, though deeper snow cover than normal could offset the risks. The US Plains in particular show the potential for a cold but wet winter, which might allow snow coverage to protect the Hard Red Winter (HRW) wheat crop, while drier conditions farther east may put the Soft Red Winter (SRW) wheat crop at higher winterkill risk.”

Happens every year around this time, the late stages of fall, beginning of winter. Planted 150 sq. ft. of garlic yesterday, 6 more chickens to butcher tomorrow.
Haha. I planted two 50 ft rows of garlic last week and peeled this years remaining garlic cloves for dehydrating and grinding into garlic powder. Soon will start feeding hay to the cows because we had two nights below freezing that zapped grasses.
Planting garlic tomorrow,,, Will harvest all my lettuce tomorrow. Winter sucks.
The more trees I transplant out of the ground and onto mounds, the happier I shall be.
It’s winter, the sky is falling.
I have had a great year with my Persimmon trees…that has to one of the most delicious fruits on the planet. I am addicted to them.
I love watching the look on people’s faces who have never tasted one before.
Going to add one of these.

You don’t have to worry about freezes as this tree is hardy and only requires 200 hours of chill time below 45. They claim you’ll get a harvest of 50+ lbs without a lot of maintenance. We will see.
Mark..
Just happened on an article about a spate of Bigfoot sightings in western N. C.. What could be better than Bigfoot for keeping Progs off your perimeter. Plant more persimmons and stake out a Hipster on occasion to get them to develope a taste for manpussies.
mark,
There was an old country dry goods store that I used to patronize some fifty years ago. They had an outstanding candy section. Long before fruit roll-ups became popular at the grocer’s, the general dry-goods had store made fruit sheets. You had to tell them what variety and how many inches you wanted to buy. The sheets were cut with scissors, rolled up with the waxed paper it had been laid on and tied with string.
The sheets were desiccated prepared fruits and were quite chewy.
My favorite was persimmon.
