are you crazy dude???

NWS already declaring it Given the current forecast numbers, it appears MSP will finish this month as the 2nd warmest October on record.

I'm not sure it should be drier than 1997-98....stronger El Niño plus CC...I agree December will probably we warmer than 1997, but after that it's pretty iffy.

2001-2 was dry..doubt with all that southern branch moisture it would be a match

MPO doesn’t keep a snowfall record.

Why? 2001-02 was warmer than 1997-98. Who pays your heating bill? Most people will be celebrating a winter that warm. No I mean drier than 1997-98 not drier than 2001-02. But warmth on the level of 2001-02 which was a warmer winter than 1997-98.

Oaks seem always to be loaded. I remember at the height of the blizzard of 12/11-12,1960 the oak at the side of our house was loaded with brown dry leaves.

Was up in central PA this weekend (north of Harrisburg by about 30 miles). Lots of color, still some green, definitely peak foliage there over the next seven days. And totally stellar weather to see it all in.

I had 19” here and the oaks were still loaded post storm with partially green leaves.

I don't see why it should be drier....

Check your climo. They’re east of the mountains and don’t get much rain or snow but they do get both. About as much snow as Boston but a tad colder.

Warmer than +10 to +12 would be the apocalypse.

CC is one factor, but we lack the MC contribution that 2015 had, which accentuated the warmth.

Yes, this is more east based at the surface then 2015, no one world argue otherwise.

Gonna be kind of strange wearing shorts and flippies to Thanksgiving dinner.

This weather is a little bit depressing tbh.

I agree with you but I'm on the dry warm train not the wet warm train. I think this winter will be much more like 2001-02 than 1997-1998. Most people care about the result much more than the cause. 2001 shows up in the records very strongly this week. More like 2001. And also drier. Of it's more like 2001-02 as I suspect it will be it will be drier than 1997-1998. Matches what happened this week in 2001. He can whine all he wants I think this winter will be more like 2001-02 than 1997-1998. 2001-02 was the Michael Jordan of warm winters. I'm not talking about the cause but the result which is what most people care about. Yes much like November 2001 which shows up strongly in the records already this week. Yes November 2001 redux. Also for the vast majority of people who want to save on heating costs. My October bill is 650. I'm glad he says warm in the east and not warm and wet. More like 83-84 and next summer will be a combo of 1983 and 2010. I'm really looking forward to that! Or more like 1983-84 and next summer will be a combo of 1983 and 2010.
