May have to look out for Patty.

Perhaps.

I feel bad all those trees got knocked down, but some areas of the country we dont get fall leaf change. I cried like a chump in 2019, but after a while I just got on with life. It isnt everything. But I do feel really bad for West North Carolina. It's getting cold up there already and those people need relief!

Climate change is raging. Just look at poor Florida and west NC. These hurricanes are just exploding. This phenomenon is being provoked by climate change. Climate change will continue to ravage us this upcoming winter. La Nina will, too. It will be milder and drier than usual in the Mid Atlantic, and even worse in Texas. Places like Wisconsin will be impacted by cooler and wetter than normal conditions. My uncle in La Crosse has already seen two lows in the mid teens. The Mid Atlantic may see some precip, but I am very much afraid it may be rain or mix. You guys stand a decent chance at frozen hydrometeors this winter but I expect average snow tallies throughout the region into March 2025. PSU may get demolished by 200 percent of normal snows by late April or early May of the new year. As for my neck of the woods, it is going to be dry and quite warm into the Winter, no surprise there, I live in south central Texas. Normal temps in January are a high of 59 and a low of 41, which is why we can have fresh figs and tomatoes sometimes into New Years Day lol. Spring hits us in March often with 85/67 weather, then turns hot as hell with 102/74 for weeks and weeks and weeks on end that lasts into early October. This winter for us will be dry and mild. There are two things that tend to bedevil us in winter, one is those damn wind events that topple trees. The other is air just cold enough to support pesky freezing drizzle then the stuff just keeps on blowing in from the north for a few days, piling ice on objects until the weight causes big oak trees to snap, often right onto houses. This winter looks milder though and less drizzle. Mid Atlantic should see opportunities for meaningful snow but it will be challenging this winter. Elevations should do better obviously. La Nina can be tough on the Washington region in winter and so many things need to line up, especially with all the moving parts and climate change helping to muck things up.

Kinda getting the feeling, that nature has kind of gotten the severe hurricanes out of her system, for now lol. The gulf of mexico has got to have some time to recharge. Enough hurricanes. We got to start thinking about winter and snows and staying up for model runs. Hey, its almost November! OH, and one more thing! WxWatcher007, YOU ARE THE REAPER! We want you back, come Nov 27! We need you to Rule the Eastern Realms! You are desperately needed! This is going to be one of THOSE winters! I am forecasting only average snow tallies at best! We need you so bad! You need to don that Reapers Garment NOW! Get into practice! We will all be expecting your Inaugural Speech for 2024-25 on November 27th evening! Be there, or be square!

It's snowing at skidder. Meanwhile in Buda TX it's BRRRRRRRRRRRR. 50 degrees with a 27 dewpoint. This is arctic to us, we have been 96/74 for weeks and weeks. I am freezing to death.

SUGAR MOUNTAIN, NC some exciting early season snows! Its comin on down with 2-4 inches on the ground more on the way! Summit and Grandfather's View you can see it coming down lol https://skisugar.com/cams/

When that atmosphere gets on board, damn. This has already been one hell of a hellacious season!

Climate change plus Nina and warmer Atl SST's are making for an incredibly exciting and challenging time for tropical meteorologists. This is one unpredictable strange hurricane season!

Really need to keep a serious eye on these storms, because this year they really seem to be exploding into majors in literally hours. Climate change is getting REAL. It lends significant meaning to 'never turn your back on that ocean'.

Any info on the possible development of Nadine?

This kind of deepening is what you get from warm GoM waters plus La Nina.

This storm is frightening. Wow warm waters in the GoM. Learn something new every day! Unbelievable 911 mb storm 175 sustained winds.

That is correct.

I see you ARE aware of some topics that are not so meteorologically focused.

People are already panicking about Milton, I guess because of what just happened with Helene in west NC.

One thing about FL they get a good deal of rain, grass mowing businesses do well. So do landscapers.

Hopefully it is a fast mover. No mountains to worry about either.

People in Texas were already setting up Halloween decorations as of Sept 23. They start early. In November, even before Thanksgiving, some even set up elaborate Christmas decorations.

Much better. Remember this? Look, I was extremely OCD about weather for 45 years. I finally learned but not before alienating most of my immediate family and nearly everyone in the Woodbridge/Dale City Corridor. I don't know about you, I don't really know how many people live in the greater Washington DC region but all those folks can't be wrong! Be very very very very very careful about what you wish for. Climate change is very real and storms WILL be extremely bad. I want NONE of this whatsoever. I am glad I am down here in Austin, Texas. We get sun, 109 weather and more sun. No more snow, hardly any rain ever. No weather to speak of, and all I ever wish for is more of the same: Blue skies, 109 degrees, south winds straight out of the Mexican Plateau and a few puffy cumulus. Maybe, I'll wish some snow on northern Virginia in the winter. I wish for no storms. I have learned my lesson. It took me half a century, too bad my dad never lived to see the day I see now he was 100 billion percent correct. My late Dad was the greatest hero that ever lived! There was never anything he was not 100 percent correct about, especially concerning my old behavior. Yeah, I am reviled on here now because I chose to stop this crazy hangup about weather. Revile me! It means I am doing a good job! In summer we get 100s and no rain. In winter we get 77 and sun. This is the LIFE! It was 95 today, no clouds at all!! No rain in our forecast for weeks and weeks! No hurricanes either! Normal high is 87! See, we are 8 degrees above normal! Gonna be a nice warm winter and dry as the Gobi Desert!

I will.

All these bad hurricanes are all my fault. I jinxed everything when I foolishly declared the hurricane season was gonna be mild with a few small hurricanes.

There are sure a lot of people crying for help. Helene cut off many a community from help. You guys are perfectly free to wish for Category 5 hurricanes. But me, I am DONE with this stuff. I'm 60. I am getting seriously challenged from obsessing over walking most of my life. Walking is fine, but to idolize this like I did for 50 years, there are consequences. Serious consequences. My mom yells at me for being too slow. I see now my Dad was right, all those years. I always learn, THE HARD WAY, every time, in everything. My heart BREAKS with deep sorrow as so many people are cut off. Many will be, for MONTHS to come, well into 2025!!!!!!!! There may even be ANOTHER storm. We are going to be lucky just to survive to early December. There are probably going to be so many severe hurricanes that the entire Gulf Coast will have to be evacuated. Buda, Texas can't take another bad windstorm, we'd lose everything.

Done. It is also on Drive.

Soaked ground plus severe flooding with high winds means a ton of downed trees over a huge area.
