It would’ve been a good day to plant some seedlings today during the lulls. I’ll probably wait for a warmer, drizzly day in October though.

In a wet year you wouldn't see a single Rock. Colors are beginning to blossom. Pretty working in the woods today although wet

Nothing shows those amounts there

For 7 inches of rain it really didn't do that much. Ground handled it well. A little water in the basement of the old farmhouse but nothing dramatic. Back pond is still very low. Not that I want any more rain.

About 7.5” so far

Made a PDF report of winter storms from WV during that winter. Looks like some moisture bomb gulf lows translated to major winter storms for the ridges. Should bring some solace to know that even if we completely torch this winter snow, and maybe a blizzard, will only be a drive away. SED_events.pdf Charleston WV even has a map for a January event and notes the cutoff due to temperatures. Not sure I've ever seen a map like this! Look at the VA side, you have the blue ridge in Nelson county picking up over a foot of snow while the valleys had cold rain.

That's what I said in January of 2015. Has that familiar feel. Never ending.

Nice envelope to get the bananas and tangerines in for next year. Ground is certainly moist enough.

Would you take the over or under for an 80 degree Halloween?

I think the PDO will move toward neutral as the fall and early winter progress. An active NPac storm track should foster some cooler water at the surface.

Yeah I may pass you on storm total. It’s been a steady sheet rain or drizzle for most of the day. Love it. Currently 52.5° +RA and 1.56”

You can get away with lower temps (50's is as low as you want to go), but Dry and Calm are mandatory. Bugs are the biggest problem along with anything seeding out. I actually prefer fall for painting.

Congrats just getting out there is half the battle!

7.81" is the new total here now.

yep, hoping for a stretch of AN weather next week, but it doesn't look like it's coming. I've custom ordered paint for my 3 older vehicles to touch up some rust repairs I've been making. Need a few days of warm, 70+ dry weather for the paint cure properly, and that doesn't look likely at this point in time.

So its like which years had the most similar weather pattern to 2026 spring+summer? just so i understand

Polo is approaching landfall. Shear is also affecting Polo, but it is now better aligned with the hurricane's vector of motion, which should mitigate any significant weakening prior to landfall. Intense convection is currently firing in the eastern and northern semicircles of the eyewall and spilling over the eye, giving an assymetric structure. However, we're close enough to landfall that it will likely remain officially a Category 3 landfall at this point since the last recon mission confirmed 100 kts. Morgerman is headed to the community of Las Barrancas, which still looks like a close point of landfall. If he nails the eye, he should get enough data to help confirm.

Yeah. We are not that crazy. Just a local rec travel team.

Anything but that.

1.63” for the day and event total of 2.48”.

His forecasts include Enso consideration but it's mainly based on actual weather during this calendar year. The exact formula/considerations he has never disclosed.

Dendy’s gonna end up well over 2” from this and crush me. What a wet last few months there

wait 1962 and 2012 are not el ninos? I have doubts we would get a pattern like them if it was a weaker nino maybe but i would expect the super nino to overwhelm the pattern in the seasonal mean largely
