I couldn't agree more. He has the same exact words that he uses. He hypes things up so much that I just shake my head. It's nuts how much he believes what he's saying, and what's worse, he has a lot of followers and subscribers I totally believe what's coming out of his mouth. Pure bull crap.

I agree. But the similarities are there for a much better winter. Just looked at how October of 1995 ended up finishing in regards to precipitation and temperature ( And yes, I am aware we're just starting October on Wednesday ), but already, we have some similarities setting up for the start of this month with temperatures in the '80s starting this coming weekend into early next week. Here's a small write-up on October 1995 in Connecticut ( And I reiterate, I'm not saying we're going to have a record 2025-2026 season as far as snowfall goes here in Connecticut ), But I like the direction we're going in. In October 1995, Connecticut's precipitation totaled 9.35 inches, and while the average temperature for the month isn't specified, the data from the National Weather Service indicates temperatures were above normal, with daily highs often exceeding 70°F. Precipitation Connecticut's total precipitation for October 1995 was 9.35 inches. Temperature Monthly temperatures for October 1995 were warmer than average, with airport observations showing departures of +2°F or more. High temperatures of 80°F or higher were recorded on several days during the first half of the month. Temperatures mainly cooled into the 60s during the latter half of October.

So... There were similarities from the Summer of 1995 to this past Summer of 2025 ( although there was was a very small area of Tolland and Windham county that experienced above normal precipitation in July ). And we all know what happened in the winter of 1995/1996.... I'm not saying that's going to happen this winter, but, there were similarities ( During the summer of 2025 (June–August), Bridgeport, Connecticut, had its driest summer on record since 1948. The city recorded only 3.85 inches of rain during the entire season, surpassing the previous record of 4.13 inches set in 1995 ) During the summer of 1995, the Northeast experienced a severe drought and a notable heat wave in July, with August being especially dry. Overall, the season was significantly drier and warmer than normal, though regional variations occurred. Temperature A major heat wave in July was the most defining temperature event of the summer. Regional heat wave: Excessive heat and humidity spread into the northeastern United States by mid-July, after affecting the Great Plains and Midwest. Peak heat: The heat peaked around July 14, with temperatures in the 95–100°F range for some areas. The combination of heat and high humidity led to exceptionally high heat indices, exceeding 115°F in some locations. Persistent high temperatures: Some parts of the region experienced stretches of temperatures at or above 90°F during both June and August, in addition to the July heat wave. For example, locations from Philadelphia to Richmond saw 90+°F temperatures on 40 to 44 days during the summer. Above-normal averages: The average temperature for the summer was above normal for many areas, though not always drastically so. For instance, the Hartford, Connecticut, area had an average temperature of 72.2°F, which was just 0.3°F above normal. Precipitation A persistent and expanding drought was the key precipitation story of the summer, with August being exceptionally dry. Overall precipitation: The Northeast received 9.94 inches of precipitation, which was only 78% of the normal amount, making it the 19th-driest summer on record. Record dryness: Drought conditions intensified throughout the season, becoming moderate to severe by August. Many states experienced one of their driest summers or driest Augusts on record. Driest summer: New Hampshire had its driest summer on record, while Vermont had its second-driest. Driest August: Washington, D.C. experienced its driest August since 1871, receiving only 0.20 inches of rain. Vermont also had its driest August on record. Regional impact: The drought's intensity varied. For example, Bridgeport, Connecticut, recorded its driest summer on record with just 4.13 inches of rain. However, the nearby Hartford area was closer to normal for the season. August rainfall deficits: August precipitation was particularly low across the region, with significant rainfall deficits reported in nearly all states.

Ok. What was I thinking. I should have realized how right you are.

No, it didn't. There was a small swath up in that area that did get a heavy amount of rain. But a 5 mi swath in the entire state of Connecticut does not make the northern part of Connecticut way above normal. BEER??

I beg to differ... We are not above normal for rainfall in northern CT ( maybe a localized area ). I looked up the departure from normal for Hartford, CT and there was a 2.17" deficit for the two months period of June and July. Bradley was very similar. So, you may need to look again.

Actually, the summer in Connecticut for the northern half of the state was just near normal, where the southern half of the state has been well below normal precipitation wise. So that's not a good correlation to why we're getting early color. Maybe it's just because it's been a more on the dry side?

Lol .. oh I've been on here a long long time. I'm just busting his chops. Sometimes Kev just throws shyte out that makes no sense.

You know, you gave me a big X on my comment about where did you see 3"-6". Am I missing something? Even if it's more CNE / NNE The highest I saw I was 3". Hey, maybe I'm missing something. Instead of giving the big X, help me understand what I'm missing

Umm... Not sure what you're looking at, but what I see doesn't show anything 3" to 6" in anywhere in the entire Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

I'm not. I have a very big party for my father and mother-in-law for their 80th birthday next Saturday. I have about 40 to 50 people coming.

Overall, it's looking like we'll at least have a normal winter in general. Something we really haven't seen in several years. At least in Southern New England.

So... As we start to see all the " Hype factor " for this upcoming Winter.... A new one just popped up. It's the CFS model and it shows very cold air for December, January, and February for much of the Central and Eastern US. I'm just not sure if that is a reliable model or not ( at least compared to the other Global models ).

We're heading out to Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH with a few friends today. Looks like tomorrow will be in the mid sixties there. Perfect day to be going on all the roller coasters

What happened to Kev's Steiner?

We got a nice drink of water... Thank in you Jesus!!! Hopefully we see those storms tomorrow as well.

Man, I hope they're wrong. We really need some rain here in CT

Very interesting video. I liked they way he went through his reasoning. Now we wait...

Lol... Right. Normal high temp for today is 77. But yeah .. we're burning up!!!

What really gets me is all this hype information about La Nina winter coming. Like it's big headlines and it's going to be this strong La Nina. It seems to me that this La Nina pattern will be a very weak pattern and it won't even last all winter, but there's just so much out there on what they're saying. Honestly, the information is so misinformed on exactly what's going to happen that people just take what they read and go with it. Well in a week we'll be starting September and starting to get a better picture on where we're going. Starting to feel a bit of excitement.

1.68 here. Well needed rains for sure. But wow....it is chilly

Interesting read on another weather anomaly happening in the Indian ocean. https://www.severe-weather.eu/long-range-2/new-iod-event-developing-winter-pattern-forecast-united-states-canada-fa/

No, it's not. It's not the same at all. Although Bradley recorded whether the normal July, Bridgeport recorded drier than normal July. That was different from last year. No two years are exactly the same. Anyway. Still no clue what's going to happen this winter but after having multiple Winters below normal, it's bound to change

The good news is, with all this dry weather we've been having as of late, hoping it'll bode well for our winter. Not being so dry. Last spring and summer were wet and by the time we went into rent to return much drier. So let's hope for the other direction

This guy..... Lolol. He makes everything about 1,000 more intense than it ever is. He likes using words like " Massive " or " HUGE".
