Don’t you dare jinx us up here in God’s Country lol

What an absolutely riveting stretch of weather. Wake me up when October ends..

wow

Aim higher. We are past that and onto drying out entire springs!

basically this entire interaction

No man... You're wrong on this guy. He's not another Mark more garbage.

Yea, aside from a wife, 4 kids, a solid career, side-hustle, thriving business abroad and a fulfilling hobby....

I'm assuming it would probably be down in OUN?

Depressing to see most, if not all, of the NWS hourly surface data maps are no longer plotting Canadian data sites... I frequently use the GIS site and it is no longer showing any real time Canadian metar data.

Don't be so sure of that. The winter of 1965-66 being a case in point. I'm excited about how hot I know next summer will be though. A mix of 1966 and 1983 is on the way. It's great to see sunny shades of October 2024. Yes this is usually the time of year when we have our best weather. This is the best weather of the entire year. Great timing with the fall foliage at peak too. Yes I wouldn't mind 4 weeks of this. Yuck another hard freeze. My October electric bill is projected to be over 600. Dont ask, the cost of heating a large house combined with inflated energy costs. I have 17 heating zones here and when I had the heat set to 65 it was too cold. 70 was okay for awhile but when we had those 2 nights in a row below freezing even 70 wasn't enough. Now I have a large portion of the house at 73 with a few minor exceptions: 5 thermostats set at 50. 4 bathrooms plus the kitchen. These are the rooms that require the least heat. 3 thermostats set at 68. These are a few of the rooms downstairs. 2 thermostats set at 70. These are two of the bedrooms upstairs. 7 thermostats set at 73. My bedroom upstairs, the hallway and some of the rooms downstairs that have very tall ceilings. I previously had those downstairs rooms set at 70 but it wasn't warm enough when we went below freezing. I have 4 propane fireplaces so I might revisit these settings if I turn them on The 17 thermostats average out to exactly 65 but that obviously doesn't account for room size.

COC!

I don’t think you have a sense of how deep the frost line is here. Sure, a few inches on the top layer melt in a rainstorm, but dig a couple of inches and it will be rock solid,even in the warmest winter

I understand their obsession with snow as a kid I always looked forward to snow. Now I have a been there, done that attitude and don't care so much. What puzzles me now is these people who want to wear hoodies in the summer and cheer on boring overcast rainy summer days. What kind of antisocial and/or out of shape/overweight does a person need to be not to enjoy a nice sunny hot summer day? Granted I dislike humid weather too but I love the heat it's rejuvenating. Plus a hot and dry summer has way less mosquitoes. 2010 is my gold standard for summers. Well it's usually because colder air is drier too. To get snow around here you usually need a happy medium between cold air and moisture. The moist air being warmer. Outside of 1993-94 which was historically cold the coldest winters I remember were in the 1980s. I was too young to remember 1976-77 but some of those 80s winters were almost as cold. 1981-82 and 1983-84 being two extremely cold winters. That April 1982 Blizzard might be the most anomalous weather event of my entire life.

Awesome! Love the branding, lol

Have wanted to several times

Welcome to modern meteorology Wiz.

That Whole SAI thing has been around a while now. Probably more voo doo than reality in the end.
