there's a big spider invasion going on to our south, I hope they dont make it up here but one guy burned his own house down in an effort to kill them

I'm glad we're finally starting on geo-engineering projects I just saw a the first of a new type of device that take humidity out of the air and convert it to water to be used for drinking, etc. The humidity needs to be at least 30% and you can squeeze out hundreds to thousands of gallons of water a day depending on which model you buy.

why do people even want a cold October? all it does is add to heating bills- I want cold and snow only in actual winter, outside of that it's useless.

indeed, and upper 50s isnt low. The only reason it was cool was because there was no sun and temps were in the 60s during the day, that ends going forward

thats awesome it means we all save on heating bills for another month

lol there's a vast difference between heat and cold weather. we were somewhere in between. there was one somewhat cool day, it's back to feeling warm today (I had my ceiling fans on- a/c will probably be on tomorrow)

you forgot to include NJ

I hate that song. In addition to being overplayed, it shows horribly bad grammar.

I dont believe in this minimum fake heat. I dont mind it being used in the "off seasons" but minimums should definitely NOT be used for describing hot summers. The definition of a hot day is and should be, a day with a high reaching 90 or higher. All a high min does is simply describe the amount of water vapor in the air not really heat. A high min means more water vapor, not actual heat. I, as a matter of fact, strongly recommend that when we calculate summer heat we ONLY use the high temperature to calculate averages, that would alleviate a lot of problems that come from water vapor taint. I was shivering today, this was in no way shape or form a warm day!

wtf are the US and UK thinking here? https://twitter.com/i/events/1445447530737586179 UK, U.S. withhold support for U.N. proposal that would recognize clean environment as a human right The World Health Organization estimates that some 13.7 million deaths a year, or around 24.3 % of the total, are due to environmental risks such as air pollution and chemical exposure. Good so even if so, it wont matter- it will be adopted anyway

I liked 2001-02 better because we went right to a dry hot summer it was awesome with little or no humidity in 2002

I see no more below normal snowfall and below normal temp combos.....

But something I find interesting is that it's pretty rare to have near normal snowfall. It's usually way above or way below..... even slightly above normal snowfall is rare (like the 30-39 inch range).....if it's going to be above normal snowfall it's usually 40 + inches.

1995-96 blasts any of the late 70s winters by a wide margin when it comes to snowfall (including 77-78)

Yup but even with that blocking we had a lot of mixing and changeovers here it was more of an inland winter, I would say it was a B winter, not in one of the higher categories. There have been La Nina winters in those higher categories (1995-96 and 2010-11 are prime examples) but those not only have exceptional blocking, they are also La Ninas that come after El Ninos and retain some of the aftereffects of the previous winter's El Nino, and give us the best of both worlds (cold and snow.)

it's that time of the year again and it's always like clockwork lol

The La Nina and PDO have finally bound together. I actually thought this year would be a neutral cold winter, so either way I wasn't expecting much snow since neutrals after La Nina tend to be among our least snowiest.

I am glad that this isn't a week long thing, looks like we're back to sunny and dry weather Wednesday thru Friday with temps approaching 80 again

Thats right, I remember these can happen in the middle of summer too.

but why is it so awful today? Surely this cant count as one of those warm se ridge days- I see an ULL is once again messing up our weather

Yeah how does this happen in October lol

the world is also flooding out, all these high humidity rainy days suck, especially the ones when it only rains just a little and it's misty which is what really sets off my allergies

I'm going to take Benadryl it's between that or repeatedly punching my nose until I pass out. Welp, I pass out either way lol

I thought it was just because it's when we've had some of our longest periods of clear skies. I went through my photo collection and my best astro pictures were taken in October. I thought it's because the nice fall cold fronts come through and clear us out and give us nice low humidity weather.

or they go warm for places where it will snow 100 inches a year regardless
