Winter wheat got a decent start with the late October snow. However, dry conditions through November quickly made for poor to good conditions with dryland crops struggling the most. Ranchers continue to bring in supplemental feed due to poor range lands with very little grass.

A potent short wave trough crossed the region as it rounded the base of a long wave trough centered north over Hudson Bay. A powerful 150+ kt jet aloft provided more than enough dynamic support for the development of organized convection, with a surface low deepening as it tracked eastward across southern Quebec.  An anomalous warm and moist airmass for October allowed temperatures to reach near 70 across southern New Hampshire.  An organized squall line developed across New York and quickly tracked across southern New England with southern New Hampshire being on the northern edge of this damaging derecho squall line.  Gusty winds associated with this squall line reached the New Hampshire Seacoast by early evening.
