That's mainly on overnight lows. Daytime temps haven't been AN as much for the most part.

lol...I've "torched" up to 70°. +4° AN for the day. Short of my record set 17 years ago but I guess you could call it a torch.

Where is this?

Finally you noticed! I was noting how much more color there was here in Stafford as I drove from Somers in the valley.

It did mix here. Nothing accumulated but it did mix. The interesting thing was it also came on the heels of a 4/28 snowfall so it was a very short window between snowfalls. I had 67" so it was above normal for me. The following 4 seasons were all duds though. 11/11 was part of back to back Veterans day storms and I had 2 12"+ storms that winter (one in January and the other in February). January 1988 also ranks in my top 10 coldest January's as we had a couple of days bottoming out around -20°F. I guess you could call it a winter of "yore".

I agree. It was nothing like July/August. Warm yes, but nothing like July & August. We've also had cool days too. To say otherwise is to have your head in the sand or up in some other hole.

Wait...The weather never followed a calendar? So Met Fall didn't begin on 9/1 and Met winter doesn't start on 12/1? When did that change?

Sounds like the span of a generation and just a run of the mill summer to me...

How is it "of yore" if it's never happened before? Wouldn't that make an extreme event?

September for me wound up being my 3rd wettest September with nearly 9" of rain. Temperature wise it was my 13th warmest out of 35 my Septembers on record which was a full degree above the normal mean. Warm weather obvious dominated the month but I did squeeze in several stretches of below normal weather, including the 24th which featured an average temp of 46°. The max temp for the month was 86° and the low was 40° (yesterday). I should also note that this is only the 2nd time in 35 years I failed to see the 30s in September. Average date is normally 9/16 and with the warm stretch coming up, it will be even further delayed.

It's really AEAOTT (All Extreme All Of The Time).

Hang in there...things get better from there!

Will you stop with the absurdities? It's not like things just flipped and with will never be the same again. Last year we were two weeks early at the beginning of September then things changed. Yes things are late this year but that does not mean that it will be exactly like this every year.

LOL...how many times has someone pointed out some weather you want is extreme? That's a good one...still LOL

60° is the new 90°? lol

Nice gradient across Maine this morning south to north. Low-mid 40s on the coast and teens at Escourt Station. Sounds fallish to me but I know some people think we are in eternal summer now.

44 here.

Me too. I checked the facebook page/twitter accounts and they were never updated so I was starting to think it was eastern all over again. I never knew what was going on behind the scenes it just disappeared one day. Took me several days to figure out what happened. I'm glad it's back up but yeah, it would be nice to have a way to know what is happening or be able to communicate with one another. I know some people are closer than others and it would be nice to have a communication plan. I too would support a separate environment if that's what it took but I know from working in IT that it costs a pretty penny.

It should be interesting to see how October and later plays out. It doesn't look like anything BN long term but we'll certainly see waves BN. Throw in some cyclogenesis and we could see some interesting setups.

It affects it, but not as much as you're thinking it will. If you send an arctic air mass over it, it's not going to be suddenly 80's and sunny here. The water will also cool over time, lessening the effect. It's not like it's going to stay at the same temp all winter...lol.

Just like the fake heat spots hitting 90°....

It's still going out to the public and I think more people read them than you would think, particularly if there is a storm coming. Just because it's a small subset of people that are reading it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be proofread. It's just sloppy and makes you wonder if there are other aspects of the forecast that have been done sloppy.

Stafford & Union must have a fair amount of stressed out trees...lol Besides, it's 9/16, not 9/30. Peak isn't for another month or so here and 6 weeks for the valley. The leaves changes not only by temperature but by daylight as well. It's a balance of the tree being able to produce the sugar it needs given the temperature with the amount of daylight available. I remember one year, I think it was 1988 or 1989 when I was at Lyndon where we had a very warm and storm free late Summer/early Fall and not only did the leaves change late but when the leaves changed they stayed on trees for a very long time. It gave the effect that it looked like peak from Connecticut to Northern Vermont. Perhaps we'll get one of those years?

Even if it's a minimum category 1 storm, I wouldn't call it lousy. Heck, look at what Sandy did as a Tropical Storm. I wouldn't call that lousy. I've been in minimal hurricane winds and it's nothing to sneeze at, particularly if it's going to be for 24 hours and accompanied by flooding rain and everything else.

Yeah, 110MPH winds are pretty lousy.
