39 with sleet and lightning at the Kansas/ Oklahoma game

Air Force at Colorado State at 7pm tonight on CBS Sports Network should have some snow 

Made it to 79, “cooler” now at 76 as the clouds moved in. 

Currently 66/58, sitting on the deck in shorts and a T-shirt, no hoodie required after a high of 77 for the day. Just plain stupid. 

Clear blue skies and bright sun for the past 90 minutes or so, temp up to 73 IMBY, up to 75 at Legoland in Goshen.

80 degrees but hey, that's not as much above normal as other places so I guess it feels kinda cool out?

Finally: fwiw... your color may be pretty good where you are, and we certainly have some, but this is not nearly as colorful a year here in this part of nw NJ as compared to last. Maples lost their leaves too soon, and much less color. More yellows than reds.

 

 

 

That's how it was in my area too, there's the occasional tree that looks good but overall not so great.  The winds Sunday into earlier this week didn't help any.

It’s all about proportionality. Sure it feels chilly out there this morning. But the cold is nowhere near a record. Highs in the low 80s later this week is near the record. We would need lows in the 20s to set a record. That’s what people are saying. Several of our recent winters since 15-16 were near the warmest on record. But even a winter averaging around or over 40° or warmer feels chilly outside and you will still need a jacket on most days.

Agreed, people just aren’t acclimated yet. Yesterday KMGJ had a high of 54, average is 60 so 6 degrees below the normal high.  Highs at the end of the week are looking to be at least 15 degrees above average. The low yesterday was 43 when the average is 38 so yesterday as a whole the day averaged a ‘whopping’ half of a degree below average. 

.34 on the day and zero FOMO

.25

While about 80% of the leaves are down in my yard, I'm happy to see that the trees in my neck of the woods in general that didn’t drop brown and early are starting to show some color.

i don’t want to hear it from you babies about how the weekend isn’t nice again.  your ancestors killed and ate two of every animal with clubs and spears i don’t want to hear about 50 degrees and light rain.  i am walking the park in gym clothes i know you can do it too

Coping skills are lacking for many these days 

I have one rose that bloomed in the past couple days, two new buds on another rose and a lillie that just bloomed today.  Nothing to see here...

just think: in winter all this rain will translate to colder rain

But it will feel cold

That's cool

Isn't 72 today 5 or 6 degrees above average for Brooklyn?

Around 50% leaf drop IMBY, mostly brown and yellow unfortunately 

1.00" final. 52/49. 

Exactly 1.00" will do it here with a rainbow.

I glanced earlier this week, I’m just under 53” here 

Living along the Wallkill River this is fog season, here's a shot from this morning driving up the hill and out of the fog

83 for the high here. Dewpts in the mid 60’s made it very summer like. I’m glad that I didn’t shut down the central a/c yet.  Feel bad for your climate conditions in your bedroom. 

@BxEngineis truly a busy man because you commenting on conditions in my bedroom is a golden opportunity for one of his attempts at humor. Oh well. I was bamboozled by the Hoodie Crowd who despite being in warmer climes were weeks ahead of true hoodie season. Again, oh well. This morning is not quite as dewey as yesterday so it's more tolerable.

Wow!  83 for the high here, sick of this humidity, wish I didn’t uninstall in my bedroom at least.
