Heating can be expensive. My parents spent around 1000$ a month in fuel oil during winter at their old house. And that was with a pellet stove too.

It’s off 81 north of the river but south of Wilkes Barre. See you there!

Yes the trees act as a blanket and prevent the sun warmth from radiating out.

Happy Halloween! I have a cloud scavenger hunt for my Atmosphere and Weather course (which is a nice break from the physics of lapse rates, vapor pressure, saturation, and actually learning what a scew-T log P chart means). Would love for some mets @Eskimo Joe @MN Transplant@high risk to weigh in on when I could find the "rare" clouds (or what soundings to look for on my own). Thanks!

39 is my highest is for. Getting a 30+ gust about every 5 minutes. MDT seems to have hit a 37 max but the main mixing starts now.

When my kids were younger and trick-o-treating, it was great running into those houses with beer for the adults.

Incredible that the season—an extraordinarily condensed one—ended with possibly the strongest Atlantic landfall in recorded history.

but now we don't get @George BMs alternate future NWS disco for the Thanksgiving blizzard! sad face!

How about the week of 12/12?

I already posted it

Man if we hit climo snow regionwide with a -1 to -2 temp departure, I think that'd be solid.

Wind starting to crank in the last few minutes.

This look has been showing up on E AI for a few runs now. I don't hate the idea of letting the cold build on the other side through November.

might be in the storm thread

I’ve seen this done before. Sometimes it’s shots too. Always a winner ha. Wait, you’re really handing out Bells? What neighborhood will you be in? Asking for a friend.

You have to understand the amount of BTUs those candles at the altar throw out. Keeps his house nice and toasty.

That 38 mph gust i recorded a few weeks back had to be some kind of outside influence other than wind, because I haven't seen anything over 20 since then. Not even yesterday or today where my wind gusts have been 11.8 and 12.3 respectively.

Actually yes. Well tonight it’ll be Bells Two Hearted Ale ha

Thank you, snowman. Y’all may find this interesting. Eric Webb just posted this at another BB after I asked him the same Q: There's lots of co-variability between ENSO and the IOD, and there's a positive correlation between ENSO & IOD intensity. Oth, when you try to isolate the influence of the IOD alone here in the context of weak to moderate La Ninas, this is what happens: The Nov-Dec 500mb & SLP difference composite of +IOD & -IOD years with weak to moderate La Niña captures some of the things we're currently seeing like the very extended Pacific Jet/+EPO, +PNA, and even perhaps the -SAM/-AAO. The NAO is completely different this year though. Then he posted this: This is what happens if you take that difference composite through the winter. The big takeaway I glean from this is the transition from an early winter +PNA type pattern to a canonical Nina look w/ a +NAM/AO is much sharper in these winters with a bigger -IOD in the preceding fall. Also, the classic Seasonal Footprinting Mechanism (SFM) pattern is more prominent in Feb-Mar in the -IOD years, which would hasten the development of +PMM in the spring and be more favorable for El Niño development later next year. ———— So, Webb and you may be in agreement at least to an extent.

Not much here yet-maybe 30-35 but it's mainly just breezy and overcast with some peeks of sun

Perfect Halloween trick or treat weather. Mostly cloudy, temps in the 50s and super gusty (25mph+). Sucks to get ...
