Sun out here and it feels good in the sun but quite cool if not in the sun. We'll see how long the sun last though before clouds start developing

Got .73'' from a morning t storm around 11 AM,still cloudy and spitting rain.

The temperature chart is consistent with the pictures of the collapse site, posted above, which show evidence of both short and long-term melting. The glacier itself is a remnant of a much larger glacier. The info I posted above also shows that local glacier losses have accelerated since 2000. I don't see evidence that the cooler and distant Everest site is relevant.

That give's me a dreadful feeling. We are about 40 years ahead of schedule. .

When I move to Mt Airy where I'll have an actual yard, I'm planning to get a decent weather station. Looking at an Ecowitt Wittboy Pro. Any others I should consider? Trying to stay under 300 Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk

Earliest T recorded was 9/12/1923. I did see flakes in the air once in late Sept back in the early 90's. Was working at the sawmill after I returned home from my Army service. Cold air moved in with those popcorn showers, and snow was mixing in with the precip. The mill was located inland near the airport.

Dudes struggled for years . Kind of a mini JB

I’m not disagreeing with you because I’m, myself, quite suspicious about the 1/15/22 Hunga-Tonga causing that delayed temp spike earlier in ‘23 than what the ‘23 El Niño should have caused. But if you were to post that in the CC forum, you’d get a lot of opposition or at least doubt based on past Hunga-Tonga discussions in there. Several folks there have downplayed it because they think the warming effect was minimal/far lower than that early ‘23 temp spike.

When you get older Chuck, you'll start to appreciate the near-dementia wisdom of age. Lol

Sunny, comfortable COC day

I've never denied being the eternal optimist, fairly or unfairly. Lol

I remember that map. I was encouraged how cold it had Canada

Good advice I'm general, but the CANSIPS cold bias is fact. Having it do fairly well last year doesn't disprove that....no bias is absolute. This year is the type of season where would likely to too cold.

Blue sky coming out here on Block Island.

Dry and upper 70s would be CoC around here this time of year. At least the sun is out now.

I mean today could not have been anymore less Coc k if you tried . If we had dews and heat you’d be able to get outside and maybe dodge an afternoon downpour. Today is totally ruined even if sun comes out later

I got my mowing and weed whacking done yesterday. Was supposed to do a big bike trail today but we postponed it until tomorrow

Good time for it...let that cold source build.

Cosgrove sure has an interesting take...heh. Seems to be going with a CANSIPS type outcome with massive AK/western Canadian and CONUS ridging. Big -EPO/PNA.

Going to have to go through more heat probably until October.

Yea, the VW effectively squashed the SO2 ink association with Tonga.

Ah right mowing, thought you were talking gardening or other stuff too.
