Simple (Hurricane) Simon says: As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Every wife had seven sacks, every sack had seven cats, every cat had seven kittens. Kittens, cats, sacks, and wives. How many were going to St. Ives? My phone number is 555 and the answer. Call me in 30 seconds or die. Hurricane Simon at 150mph winds at public advisory 12a on October 10th.

I’m so screwed this winter. Heat is needed almost every morning at this point even with a 62-63 set point.

They'll be around here, too, but we're well past peak. Some late-turning maples will still be colorful and the aspens are peaking. Clear blue this morning, low was mid-upper 30s.

Well Liberty perhaps a ‘# of individual post responses’ statistic should be included. If energy, truly, can neither be created or destroyed….. you’ll be here indefinitely. As always …..

Low of 44 in Marysville. Beautiful Fall day is ahead before the beneficial rain tomorrow.

I see plenty every year. No need to rush

I am a little surprised by that and we’ll see what today brings, but that would obviously be a welcome development if that busted.

Not happening in a super nino. Last winter was ideal for pack. Even the cities had a pack from january to end of feb.

It's ridiculous for anyone to make a post like that, a couple of Octobers ago we had a month with ZERO rainfall that was the warmest October I have ever experienced and the warmth lasted right into the first two weeks of November when it hit 80 degrees multiple times even at JFK. That record will be very tough to beat. Chris how is it possible to have frost at 38-39 degrees? That's been the low here the last two mornings and I had a light frost on my roof both mornings. I'll see if I can post some pictures. Edit can't post photos maximum file size allowed 128.78 kb lol. The mornings are cold though and it's too windy duringthe day. I'm still trying to figure out what to set my individual thermostats at to maximize efficiency for heating. I have 17 thermostats here and what I've done so far is to keep the 4 bathrooms the coolest because they require the least amount of heat. Here is my heat map: 2 thermostats at 50 2 thermostats at 60 4 thermostats at 65 4 thermostats at 68 4 thermostats at 70 1 thermostat at 73 That averages out to exactly 65 degrees across 4048 sq ft. That last one is my bedroom thermostat it has to be the warmest! I also have three propane fireplaces downstairs but haven't used them yet. Two of the rooms downstairs are high vaulted ceiling two story rooms so their heat comes upstairs they contain two of the fireplaces. It's extremely difficult to hit 100 in the middle of summer why would it ever happen in February? This is nothing lol I made a special end of season post in the Yankees thread that covered 40 posts. And another one in the MLB thread that covered 15 posts. So that's a total 75 posts in 3.

Upper 40s here. No fake. Been nice to use least amount of energy as possible. Haven’t come close to needing heat.

Yup, another soaking coming, on a Sunday yet again.

31F with solid frost again. This weather on the holiday weekend, going to be a gong-show in the leaf peeping spots.

Wind is really picking up here along the escarpment. 51 with on and off rain. Picked up .34 so far.

That was us last week, ha. Evaporational cooling is awesome.

The only way we see a change to snowier outcomes here is if the tropical forcing changes which may coincide with the shift west of Nino. Otherwise it’s warm all over and around the El Niño regions. Not sure how much it matters if it shifts west as long as the MJO shifts too.

Power outages covering the border from 26 to 19w this morning. Lots of fresh leaves on the ground. Sent from my SM-S948U using Tapatalk

January on the JMA is vomit worthy.

39 was the low here.

Could be a good drink tomorrow night. Maybe some thunder south coast.
