    Just to clarify, I am not disagreeing with falls warming. It is just interesting to see 40s being a measurement being we are nearly the same latitude. MBY we have had 40s or below every month this year (Note: July 31st was coolest 52F in Flint while MBY was 49F (my area is normally cooler than Flint by 2-4F)).

    Agree. I don't mind falls being a bit boring. Active winters are much better!! Being a skier, just need temps a tad bit cooler in Jan & Feb than last winter (local condition's were terrible last year).

    Did you get any hail out of the storms around your area today? Just wondering. When I viewed the MTU webcams as a storm was hitting them it looked like some hail was happening.

    I wouldn't say last winter was crap at all. Brother-in-law near Tahoe had record snows. Sister in Wyoming had near record snows. Nephew in MN had record snows. Friends in Buffalo with record snows. Family on the west side of MI had two of their largest LES events in several years.

    Wow that is intense. Last year MBY was in a similar situation (D3 so it was not as bad as you are currently getting with D4). I had the big L right on top of me. What was so frustrating was that D0 / none was just a few miles away (your case is more widespread than what occurred here last summer). Hopefully things change soon for you. I hate droughts!!!

    Very true. This event was a bit different as this time even Houghton was getting mostly rain due to the lake being so warm. You had to go south toward Twin Lakes area and they got the snows. Houghton is normally enough inland that it snows there yet can be rain at McLain SP in the early season snows.

    I found when I lived up there the late warm waters made a difference when we got early cold blasts in November that could take advantage. One time in the Keweenaw we were getting rain while it was snowing south because the lake was too warm.

    Patchy frost will be great!! Haven't had many bugs all summer until about 3 weeks ago the mosquitoes have gone crazy in my area. Solid frost or freeze would be most welcome.

    Sounds very intriguing. Please post

    NYC/JFK Airport 8.58 in 0351 PM 09/29 Thought I would add a little context

    Wish I would have been able to get up there for peak (it a great excuse to get to the UP). At least it can be just as nice around here with fall colors (just a couple weeks from peak).

    Solid rain event here with 0.98"

    Always fun when an big event brings you right back to average!!

    ... funny thing is no where do I say things haven't warmed. It's fun seeing all the responses.

    Cherry Picking events does not constitute climate change. Climate will always change because it was NEVER a constant. These birds showing up is due to various circumstances the least likely being climate change. Last I checked winters with snow and subfreezing temps still occurs in Wisconsin. Acting like animals have never shown up in places they don't belong is just ridiculous as saying every one of these events are because of climate change.

    You want CG. I have been in the Keys all week. Unfortunately on the plane now heading home. I have seen about 100 CG strikes this week. Some very close others out in the waters. Lots of good nocturnal storms too.

    Yep. Those leaves need to go!!

    Well we would want to ruin things for you. Edit: I really hope you get some much needed rain. I just looked at the 12Z Euro. It shows quit a nice stretch of weather to end September.

    I like it when it is early. I mulch the leaves (too much to do it any other way where I live). It was great last year being done with the yard around Halloween as opposed the Thanksgiving. Nothing worse than pulling out the mower when it's almost December. Sorry but I can't stand it when my snow drifts have a ton of leaves in them. Sure a few others on here feel the same way.

    Agreed. I wouldn't want to be restricted like that either. It was fun seeing several waverunners being used to go back and forth from the island to Key West. It was only 10 minutes or less to cross.

    If you think that is what my post implies
  22. Lightning
    Agreed. But if you reanalyze it enough you can make it say whatever fits your agenda or pay check. The agenda makers will declare it truth regardless of reality. Say it loud enough and the masses will believe it as the truth.

    It's not bad right now but schools are all in session. Off season. Locals say it is horrible mid-Feb well into April. Plus other holiday weeks. I tend to go to things on the off season as I can't stand crowds. Of course that means not everything is open.
  24. Lightning
    Is this your dream to live on a island like this just off Key West?

    MBY is only about 360 miles ENE with one 90 degree day . Thanks GLs and Canada
