  1. The leaves fall in Nantmeal and suddenly it's warmer than the tarmac at PHL. As JLP would say, ah-mazin'.
  2. Amazing. All we needed is the trees to drop their leaves and Nantmeal would suddenly be warmer than the Philadelphia heat island. It struggles to hit 80F in July in that jungle.
  3. Interesting. I assumed that the fall patterns must have had some similarities, since we also had widespread drought that year. How did such disparate fall patterns each produce a widespread CONUS drought? In fact, if you look at the weekly drought monitor, this week had the least amount of area not in D0-D4 since the map began being published at the beginning of 2000 [25 years]. It narrowly beat out 2022's peak, almost to the exact same day of the year.
  4. Yeah, it looks like the 3" figure cited above was only from December. Maybe they didn't have an observer the rest of the winter? It looks like snow days have been supplemented though in the official records. This is the January 2002 snowfall from xMacis:
  5. xMacis has 14.1 inches at BDL that winter. There's a lot of missing data, but it looks like it's been supplemented on days when snow fell in 1999-2000 and 2001-2002.
  6. I have seen 1999-2000 bandied as a candidate, as well, by some professional meteorologists. The current pattern is somewhat reminiscent to that of 2022, as well. So I wonder if 2022-2023 is a possible analog?
  7. Looks like this will be the high-water mark, or low water mark, if you will, as substantial rainfall is ongoing and expected to continue across much of the center of the CONUS.
  8. We did it! New record low for CONUS area without D0 or worse on the drought monitor. Just 12.84% were not in D0 or worse in today's update, eclipsing the 14.72% for the week ending November 1, 2022. The 2022 drought was somewhat worse in severity, however.
  9. Looks like Altoona has tied a daily record, and Bradford set a new daily record, thus far.
  10. The Harrisburg cold island effect in full gear as well. Have to think the winds off the cold river this time of the year play a role.
  11. Wow, if even Tony Heller is calling this the second or third warmest October nationally, imagine how warm it actually has been with the real figures.
  12. Yes, I remember it. But the late Joe Bartlo and the daily pest reports ruined it. Started out as a feud with “Jack” and then got crossposted to alt.kooks and other troll groups and really got out of hand. Those Usenet groups were around since at least the early 1990s.
  13. Relief may be soon on the way for parts of the region.
  14. Wow, mighty impressive. Must be one of the latest 80F days on record in South Bend, I'd reckon.
  15. Looks like the lower Mississippi might approach the record low levels set last October in the upcoming days. Army Corps going to be out there doing some dredging work, I'm sure.

  17. Guardian summer came to an unceremonious end thanks to the Yankees.
  18. Wow. Wheeling, West Virginia had its driest summer and driest fall to date back to back.
