didn't you got to school in philadelphia? time to come to the dark side

I paid 4.82 or so last week. Gone up 20 cents since. #WINNING

I just looked at the discount places where you pay cash for delivery. Even they are $5 a gallon.

I thought 4.44/gal for heating oil was bad a month ago. now it's over $5.30 here

Yes very true - it appears very evident that it did. Question is - was it a case of "hastening" (as in - it would have collapsed at some point, warming just made it collapse sooner than otherwise), or was it a case of "causing" (as in - if this level of warming hadn't happened - it would not have ever collapsed)? Probably will never know of course. Plenty of glacier collapses of course happened in pre-warming times, e.g. several big ones in the early 1800's in Switzerland, France, and Caucasus mountains.

And it begins....WB 0Z EPS snow totals.

Several models dumping 2-4" of rain over parts of Iowa later today and tonight. Hoping the sloppy seconds from that can deliver a good half inch in this area.

Gas prices jumped again today. Good thing it's almost over. “Oil prices will drop precipitously, like everything else is dropping (but more!), when we WIN the war with Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Three Dollars a gallon, but ultimately, below Two Dollars a gallon. It will all happen quickly, and Iran will never have a Nuclear Weapon.”

plus he will be wrong because that El Nino had a positive PDO this one will more than likely have a negative PDO - this video explains

0.35” at MSP, largest precipitation event since July 30th and nearly our entire August total.

Our chilliest spots like Warwick Township reached the 40's (49.7) for a low this morning. We should rebound to near normal temperatures for Early September with highs not far from 80 degrees with continued low humidity. Tomorrow looks to be our warmest day of the week with 80's for most spots. We turn wetter on Thursday and cooler to close out the work week.

Meanwhile….. .06” in a little over a week

No doubt it screwed up the beginning of the month. But there's a long way to go is really my point and all 3 ensembles are pointing to a change in the pattern. Fortunately, it's September and not DJ or F.

I seen our last female on Sunday, not since. I wish they stayed longer.

If Chicago is 0 the rest of the month, they finish +3. And the Euro is showing a big ridge in the medium range. It's not a good forecast, the model can't even factor in the first 6 days right.

usually he's pulling out the 09-10, 02-03 analogs so interesting he's so bearish.

Next 10 days look warmer than average with perhaps some cooler readings day 11-15.
