So far so good. A nor'easter at the wrong time can turn that on a dime.

Just sat down with some pizza and was going to do some reading or a lecture video but this is more fun. Fight time LFG!!!!!!

It's interesting that the records set on the 2nd and 6th are included but not the 3rd I wonder why? Either way you can see from the sheer number of records set in that historic heatwave that was a heatwave of unparalleled proportions the kind of long duration heat wave we simply do not see anymore. The last time we had a something like that was in 1993. What other records can you find from that historical heatwave? Im shocked that Mount Pocono got into the mid 90s as early as late May and as late as mid August, was that entire summer just one long massive heatwave? Also both Newark and Boston set records, why didn't Central Park? About elevation, the Poconos are a Plateau not a mountain range so I can't see its elevation being much less. I actually developed something called relative temperature as an analog to relative temperature to convert temperature to sea level. 103 would be around 114 at sea level. I'm perfectly fine with accepting that because I know climate change is nuanced especially in the East. Our heatwaves have become shorter and we have less extremely high record temperatures. The average temperature rise is mostly driven by higher minimum temperatures, not higher maximums. I've had my heat running for about a month already and it's not a pleasant feeling. I would have thought climate change would have occurred faster but here we are. Most people enjoy heat much more than cold so we dont see climate change as an altogether bad thing the way we view tobacco causing cancer. Obviously it's not a good thing but there are some positives to it like not spending a thousand plus on heating every month in the winter when it impacts us the most and not having to use the heat in the summer which I had to use starting in August.

9/15 12Z CFSv2 consistent with 0Z run having it on Sep 19th go to a historical extreme level (+4+):

1.29" here today. It was yet another cool, dreary, wet day.

Fuck you trumper!

Get a grip on life . Wow Do you have a budget ? Do you have someone that can understand and manage your finances? With this nasty , ban / suspension worthy tantrum , it seems like you probably do not . Recommendation.. find someone

Right? Bunch of whiners. $5,000 Doge check plus another $5,000 Republican vote rebate and most folks should be able to afford heat for at least half the winter.

FUCK YOU!

Yeah, nasty. High was 96. Might as well live in Texas.

72/46 Peak early fall vibes, view from the hammock.

50.7 this morning, 75 earlier, 63 now. Fall.

The dew points are now 70 at Toledo, but recently as low as 51 degrees. The 50's dew points are average for this time of year.

Tuff

Nah..Just follow the budget your advisor has for you . This should all be factored in and planned for .

To me, Superstorm of 93 kind of kicked off the snowy epoch that followed. Also got me interested in meteorology.
