That is some impressive cold air sitting to the north days 11-16 on the GFS. Hopefully it has a clue, definitely will be chances if that look sticks around as we head into that time frame.

I am not that old, but I remember a time in school when we had debate clubs. You can have a really good debate, using facts/concrete data to back one's opinion. Go back and forth....in today's society, one side could have all the facts, written in stone, plain as day, and of course in the simplest of form and the other side just says I don't believe you, you will never change my mind, end of story....the earth is round, here is all of the data to back my opinion/hypothesis whatever it maybe, other side, no its flat, here is youtuber 017985, he says it is flat, end of story. It is so frustrating as a scientist nowadays....even though the +3C⁰ over the next century or 2 isn't going to take out mankind directly, all the other indirect impacts most likely will and if it doesn't, it is going to make living life not very pleasant for most of us...I mean, they pretty much figured it out in the movie WALL-E back in 2008. I agree 100% with Dendrite's comment...."It takes a lot of heat to wipe out the arctic ice that has rapidly deteriorated in the last few decades. We know the CO2 has been steadily, rapidly rising since we started measuring it in HI too. It’s pretty obvious we’re trashing the planet with our excessive waste, pollutants, GHGs, and plastic. It doesn’t need to be a political issue. I don’t even care what the global temps are. Look around. The planet look like trash compared to 300 years ago. We should just simply be striving to be as “green” as possible." I mean how does cleaner water to drink and swim in, cleaner air to breathe, and just being cleaner in general become a political battle? No wonder I have a headache every day....

No doubt, frying Turkeys while wearing shorts and t-shirts

Whatever happens next week, it is impressive to see strong high pressures continue to build in after any warm up....Also coming in through the center of the country, not into the Pacific Northwest, already looks better than last year....

79.5⁰/55 after a low of 46....feels almost "hot" in the sun

I hope you're right....I just want some snow to play in, even near average would be fantastic

30.7⁰, season over.....

Well, it has been a great run....but there goes the growing season. Already 38.7⁰ here, sub 32 by daybreak?

you need a woodstove.....It is amazing during October and November. A few hours of burning it and the house is well over 70°. The best part is, it only takes a few good pieces to get the temperature up to those levels....

At least it would be November snow, can check off the October snow omen....lol, I just want a freeze to kill off the mosquitos

There were definitely trees that got the fungus around here, they all turned brown and dropped 1-2 weeks ago. But those that kept their leaves, be it late are all turning a beautiful color right now...view from my backyard this afternoon.

I noticed the past few nights how odd it sounds around 11 pm taking the dog out. Besides being attacked by mosquitos, tons of summer sounds. Definitely not mid October sounding. If we can't catch Monday or Tuesday nights cool down, will probably have to wait until the end of the month for the first frost....

the one positive is we will be able to grow food in areas that never had much of a growing season....if it rains of course. I think the biggest concern outside of coastal and already baked regions are the diseases from ticks and mosquitos...EEE is one where the later the freezes take, the longer that virus can spread in a region. Naegleria fowleri and Vibrio infections from warmer water are other issues that seem to be increasing year after year right now. It isn't just lack of A/C in northern regions and less ice unfortunately

It has been a rough stretch otherwise, even when it wasn't cloudy and raining, we had smoke to deal with...worst performing summer since I had the system installed.

Deja-vu on the 12z Euro, 2 southern/late developer misses, followed by a massive storm about ready to cut to our west....Thank God this is October and not January. Unless this pattern completely collapses, It does look like a fun winter incoming at least for tracking purposes, hopefully we are on the right side of some when all is said and done....

I lived in central Delaware at the time....unreal how much snow we got, pretty sure I have more snow in that year than I did in the next 5 combined. Crazy thing was, how fast all of that snow melted. That first snow in December, pretty sure I had 32", it was completely gone by Christmas, including most of the piles

Hopefully not a preview for what happens when it actually gets cold enough to snow......

Well the 12z Euro would be wonderful if it were January, but mid October that is brutal....Especially with the weather we have dealt with recently.

35.1, not bad but not enough to wipe out the bugs yet.....

Going to be close here tonight, already down to 45° and the winds have gone calm..... at this point I would assume 32-35 by sunrise. Kill some mosquitoes please! Please leave my Dhalias go, they have just started another round of flowering

My desert like region has all but dried out, but other areas such as the parks and sports fields around here are still ponds/swamps, breeding mosquitoes. We need a freeze and some dry weather, no precip until November please....unless of course that is a precursor to a snowless winter, then by all means rain away

Mosquitoes just exploded from everywhere, worst it has been all season....ready for a frost/freeze

They can't keep canceling the kids baseball and soccer, at this point they will be rescheduled for the Spring....

just emptied the stratus, 4.15" here as of 6 pm.....

How is it around town? Getting ready to head home. Barely any rain where I am at.
