Man doesn't your house have a bathroom?

The mistake you are making, is thinking that the move date is important. The important point you are missing is Coatesville cooled by roughly 2F relative to the other local stations after World War II, indicating a major station change. I subbed in 1949 for 1948 in my Coatesville move table. After the change, the move-related cooling at Coatesville cooling increased from 1.7 to 2.4F. The Coatesville move is complex: a big move in 1946 and a smaller one in early 1948. You only see a small part of the move by comparing 1948 to 1949. Note that Phoenixville also moved to a cooler location in 1949. So can't be used to estimate Coatesville station changes between 1945 and 1949. Since you have provided your “True Actual Average “ for the 1945 to 1950 period. Lets see how well you and NOAA match the station data for that period. I have separated stations into two groups, stations with moves and the stable stations without moves. The stations without moves show that there wasn't much local temperature change between 1945 and 1950, 0.2F cooler in 1950 on average. The stable stations capture the weather-related temperature trend. In contrast, the stations with moves, Phoenixville and Coatesville, cooled by 2F on average. Cooling at these stations is spurious, caused by station changes not weather. NOAA matches the stations without changes, cooling by 0.3F. Capturing our local weather well. In contract your “True Actual Average” cooled by 1.4F. Station changes at 2 of the 4 Chesco stations active in this period contaminate your results. For all your complaints about NOAA, you are the guy who is altering our past weather. Introducing a phantom, move-related "cooling cycle". The difference between your results and NOAA's highlights the importance of bias adjustments in Chester County due to the numerous COOP moves and other station changes. Finally why is NOAA warmer than the 1940s coop station population? Easy, the stations are warmer than the county as a whole due to their location in built up towns. When they moved out of towns they cooled. Notice that Coatesville in its new rural location matches NOAA exactly in 1950. NOAA isn't fooled by station moves, that's a rookie mistake.

how much snow did you get? we had a nice surprise too-- around 6.5 inches here and 4.5 inches from another storm in the same week!

international shipping also adds a gigaton to greenhouse warming

wow March 2014 was such a waste after such an excellent winter, look how cold it was and only 0.1 inches of snow. February 2015 and March 2015 are why I remember 2014-15 as a much better winter than 2013-14.

Let's get one of these to work out

The 00Z GFS would be a massive disaster for Haiti.

No way he can be, lol I mean it's just...unbelievable. That has to be the greatest postseason start from any player in MLB history! And you know what the crazy part is? Somehow he's still not a household name among those who don't follow baseball closely. And that's a shame because we are seeing something so incredibly rare and historic...nothing like it since Babe Ruth--and Ohtani might be a better pitcher, lol Folks can't miss this!

I don’t think GYX puts the AWOS (FAA) stations in there since they don’t maintain them.

Shohei Ohtani isn't a real human

low of 40.6F here, got up to 68F.

A friend said they have family members in central NH that had to dig 50ft deeper to get water into their well.

The weather the last couple days has been a miracle.

They still play the Steelers 2x and Bengals 2x. If the defense gets better like last year (last week was a good performance, only giving up 17pts to the Rams with 3 offensive turnovers), we have a chance at the division. It's about as attainable as it gets for being 1-5. Vegas still has pretty high super bowl odds for the ravens (1/20).

CFS January Monthly

I’ll be honest, I don’t know what it is, but ever since 2019, we’ve only had 1 good winter here in NYC and we’ve had 3 near shut outs practically. I won’t try to speculate what it is. Especially when it comes to March being snowless since 2020. My understanding of weather is better than it used to be but long term climate is still pretty niche and hard to follow along with. But whatever it is, I think we all know deep down that it’s not going to get much better. I think the “winters” we’ve been having this decade is the new normal, and most good snow seasons are a thing of the past. It’s very hard to deny it. KUs are pretty much a thing of the past and with a warmer winter, what would normally be small snow events in the past are now marginal cold rain events for most of us. It’s easy to bet on a warm and less than average snowy winter at this point.

ORH warmest place in the interior northeast, by a decent margin. Only a few coastal spots like BOS can compete.

I'll most likely be below freezing when I let the dogo out around 6am. That will be 4th time in October. I know, valley fake cold.

(facepalm) You have got to be kidding me. You left out the context qualifier: "If the whole world was experiencing what Delos is experiencing" which was specifically done as an absurdity said to point out the absurdity of YOUR claims. Look - just nevermind. You obviously just can't follow discussions and logic. So - just nevermind.

Hit a fooking deer tonight…or more like the deer ran into my car No serious damage but my car requires some body work. Wonder if it’s worth reporting to my insurance.

I don’t post in here (I’m really just discovering this awesome thread!) but yeah, the Great Blizzard of 2013 earns its name. 1888, 1978, (October) 2011, and 2013 stand alone in meteorological exceptionalism and societal impact in CT.
