JB still has all his eggs in the basket of the 'Ash Wed. analog 1962' to our setup in early March.

SDiM is not on board with this.

he's always got something big in the hopper....

JB, never one to admit he is wrong, is now talking about March as he was about Feb.  Rekindling the ghost of Ash Wed. NE of '62 and some strong 1984 event.  He just skips by the warmest Feb. ever.

If he blows it, I am certain he will merely move on to his hurricane forecast or something about putative global warming theories.

February to forget for sure.   MJO got stuck in 7 and that sunk us.   March might have a big storm but not seeing much in the way of cold air-need BN given the quickly rising norms after 3/6 or so.

...Or the once an hour (during the daytime hours-report was usually repeated for a couple of hours before it would be updated 2 or 3 times a day) for a live Accuweather report on 1010 WINS when Dr. Joe Sobel or Eliot Abrams or JB would come on the air.

yup-remember listening on KYW in Philly they would come on around :36 after the hour...if you missed it you had to wait an hour.

Yeah but people aren't going to pay for accuweather pro to read his column which he might update once a week

That is definitely true.   Once JB left Pro, I'm sure subs plummeted, but as you note, I'm sure the decline continued as well as people found the same type of stuff out there for free.

I feel like with twitter and social media people want real time updates so waiting to read a column is becoming obsolete

so much garbage on social media that you have to wade through...

So complex, that the writer probably intends to use it support whatever Feb/Mar brings.

Meanwhile JB has begun  to skip by Feb. and now talks about Mar. saving things.

Not really-he says colder pattern will become established by Mid Feb.

In Larry Cosgrove's weekly newsletter he does acknowledge the models showing a colder pattern beginning the 2nd week of December but does have concerns that the warm shelf and gulf stream waters could limit wintry weather chances along the eastern seaboard with precipitation being more wet then white. He also has some concerns that the last 2 weeks of December could slide back to a semi zonal flow as well. He is more or less still on the train that the mid west and great lakes will be the big winners this winter which would continue to support his winter outlook agenda. Have to see how things continue to evolve as we head into December but I am liking how things are evolving so far especially from week 2 of December forward.

That's a legit concern given the well above normal waters off the coast.   Later this winter that will work in our favor.

I'm always happy when the stations pull the plug on 12/26 and go back to regular music....

If you move beyond the local FM station playing Mariah Carey on repeat for two months, there's a wealth of pretty good Christmas music to be found with a little digging. The problem is that it takes some effort to find stuff that isn't just the 100,000th cover of O Holy Night so sometimes it's easier to just turn on the Warren Zevon or ELO and pretend like you're Jewish.

Gets old hearing Holly Jolly Xmas 10x a day on terrestrial radio...it's the same 150 burned out xmas tunes every year....Thank God for Satellite and Pandora.

Nope, that's what she was saying, including the image of her mother covered in blood.  Her mom was there for a bake sale and while not injured she was one of the first to start helping the kids that were injured.  I've written in the past on here how its a day that I'll never forget as a senior in high school at NFA.   

Didn't live in the area, I was a HS senior down in the philly burbs but I remember the story well, it made news everywhere.  That storm front was the usher to the bitter cold Nov/Dec 1989....

Along with Bank branches and Radio-both will be mostly extinct within another 15-20 yrs.

Yup! Depending on the species some immediately fell off. I have a tulip tree that dropped all its leaves on Saturday. My silver maples are still holding crinkled green leaves.

Forget about Oaks, I expect some of them to hold green/brown leaves that died in place. Could be an issue if we have an early season wet snow storm before the winter winds eventually strip them down.

i have never seen anything like it on campus. We were progressing like a normal fall just a week late. Since the majority of the big trees are oaks it’s almost as if fall stopped. The leaves are all stuck up in the trees!

Bradford Pears too-those leaves often stay on if they freeze...

Foliage mostly consists of green, brown or bare trees at this point

I have green leaves on some trees here that froze in the cold snap.

I wonder what people do with all the extra time they have by typing ‘tgiving’ or ‘turkey day’ insteand of ‘Thanksgiving’?

There are plenty at my house, you can have them if you want them.

Just started seeing them today here.  They usually swarm the front of our house in November.

Really feels never ending.  When I comment on how extreme this stretch has been to people at my office they seem to have no idea.  Funny how quickly people acclimate. 

I remember Halloweens as a kid where most of the trees were bare-this year some remain green, and most are not bare.  We blew away 2007's record warm Oct by more than a degree in some cases...

Doesnt really matter for me, I'm in bed long before either time-I just check it in the morning...

and imagine the sunrise times in western areas of the time zone...9am?   LOL.   Nothing is going to change.   Hard to have one state change and the other stay etc etc.  DST to EST and back to DST is not going anywhere anytime soon.

I super-hate early sunsets, we’re too far east in this time zone. It’d be nice if we could keep Eastern Daylight Time year round, but the U.S. government doesn’t allow DST year round, only opting out of DST. Making the switch to Atlantic Standard Time year round would solve that problem, multiple New England states have recently proposed switching.

Then you have 8:15 to 8:30 AM sunrises.   No thank you.

I am confused.   Did the CANSIPS really show this for October, with a forecast made on Oct. 01!?

wow what a monumental BUST

Just a sea of warmth everywhere this fall....

pretty big bust today on that the cloud deck is hanging tough....temps have been slowly dropping here all day down to 58

Check out how big the margin was in Miami for the new record number of 80 degree minimums. I guess this may make some of the LGA area posters jealous.

Miami has had 70 days at or above 80 for lows. Previous record was 45 days in 2010

7:44 PM - 11 Oct 2017

they beat it by 25 days?  WOW
