JB has invoked 1925 where we had a record warm September followed by a very cold October. He thinks that it will cool down in October significantly. Me...it's gonna be the warm and droughty base state until it isn't. No signs of change yet.

WTF that has to have been the worst radar return to actual precip ratio I've ever experienced. I was covered in reds per radarscope and only managed 0.08". Not even fully wet under the trees.

This weather sucks ass.

Up here at DCL it's 71F and zero humidity with a good breeze, basically a perfect day. We moved about 4000lbs of rock. Kinda weird up here, all the cherry trees have lost about half of their leaves already. Just dried up and fell off. Can't really blame it on drought, I guess it's just getting late I the season here.

Out at the cabin this weekend, last night had a thunderstorm with lots of lightning and thunder coming in but as soon as it reached the edge of my property it just fizzled out and ended up with nothing.

Until I get a legit all day long rainy day, not a thunderstorm, I'm declaring that the dry pattern continues and drought is still the base state.

I hope it's got an industrial sized rain gauge.

The best one was the B-1, B-2, B-52 flying over escorted by a couple F-35. Now that's an expensive formation. Went right over my house, dog wasn't impressed.

We must be looking at different lines.

It's almost to DC now?

Stack up those hissyfits for this winter, we're gonna need them!

Looks like my hissyfit had its intended purpose, appears to be dumping pretty hard back home. If we're gonna cut funding to meteorology then they might as well just go all the way and decommission the satellites too. Then we can go back to the old days of weather forecasting based on things like joint pain and caterpillar fur.

Wow, forecasting is in a sad state of affair nowadays. Chimps would be better at predicting precip. And they can't even use the usual "this is an extremely complicated setup" trope that we hear every time during the winter.

Jackpot over my house in Huntingtown? That ain't happening.

Another day, another letdown. Ended up with zilch back home. Got to DC just now and it looks like it rained here. The Crape Myrtle in front of the house that I cut down is making a strong comeback attempt. Time to break out the glyphosate.
