Yep. Are people forgetting a good portion of New England is now in a humid subtropical zone 7 climate. Last winter HVN averaged >36 every winter month. I track my CDD and HDD. (Heating/cooling degree days). This year has been a record for lowest HDD since July 1st and is a few days away from taking the record from last years record CDD of 1013. Currently at 1009.

Are the forsythia still flowering?

Already 61 here with a low of 58. Many spots are hitting 70 today. Upton has me for a high of 68.

Looks like most of the CT shoreline finally had a hard freeze. BDR finally went below 32. 28 here for the low. Hopefully it wipes out all the stuff still growing/sprouting.

I see people just walk out at Home Depot with a cart of generators or power tools all the time. Most stores have a policy that employees not do anything as the merchandise is insured. Even if the cops come there is a no chase policy in CT so they simply speed away.

Shibu is up 83.9 million percent in the last year. I made an absolute fortune buying some early this year. There are still some good stocks out there. I have been investing big in heat pumps, solar, and robotics/automation stock. The returns have been great with many giving me 300% + returns.

I'm still waiting for my leaves to drop.. Looks like a fun afternoon here. E winds veering around to more SW winds in the mid levels, will allow for an increase in helicity, and possible rotation for some thunderstorms due to this low level wind shear. There is a marginal potential for damaging winds as well as a tornado.

Its been an absolute furnace down here. I haven't even come remotely close to a frost/freeze. Plants and animals are confused and spring bulbs are coming up.. lol Check out this picture of the Guiilford green posted on Reddit yesterday.

The maples just started showing some color here. Leaf cleanup is still weeks away here. People are still mowing their lawns here every week.

Seems like the warmth is really over performing here. A lot of places are close to 70 already.

With record high heating costs I think most people are enjoying this nice warm start to November. Also, this weeks mild warm up is nothing compared to last November here. I recall some spots in SW CT hitting 80.

Its been one of my best years for solar production in the 6 years I have had my panels. You just got your panels right? You made a great investment. Eversource just got approved for a 64% price increase Jan 1st.

Bolton Farms at 750ft still farming...

Everything is still growing on the shoreline. Spring bulbs are coming up. I haven't even come remotely come close to a freeze yet. The maples are just starting to change here. Everyone is still mowing around here and leaf cleanup is weeks away.

Some low 20s on Long Island while its mid 40s on the north shore.

Looks like Eversource is raising electricity supply rates 64% in Connecticut due to record high natural gas prices. On top of record high heating costs its going to be a rough winter for many when the cold comes. https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Eversource-UI-customers-will-pay-more-in-16595228.php?src=rdctpdensecp

Yep. Looking forward to my 60's all next week.

39 for the low. The palms are just starting to show some colors.

HVN's not on here but they were +6.5.

Yeah. From Don in the NYC thread. Numerous locations in the region saw their warmest monthly minimum temperature on record for October. Those locations included: Atlantic City: 41° (old record: 40°, 2004) Bangor: 35° (old record: 34°, 1968 and 1989) Bridgeport: 43° (old record: 41°, 2004) Harrisburg: 43° (tied record set in 1984) Islip: 42° (old record: 40°, 1971 and 2017) Mount Pocono, PA: 35° (old record: 34°, 1920) New Haven: 42° (old record: 39°, 2014) New York City-JFK: 47° (old record: 46°, 1971) New York City-LGA: 49° (old record: 47°, 1971) New York City-NYC: 47° (old record: 45°, 1946 and 1971) Newark: 45° (tied record set in 1971) Philadelphia: 46° (old record: 45°, 1882, 1927 and 1931) Providence: 41° (old record: 39°, 1971) Scranton: 38° (old record: 36°, 1971) Sterling, VA: 39° (old record: 37°, 1971) Syracuse: 36° (tied record set in 1971) Washington, DC: 47° (old record: 46°, 1971 and 1984) Wilmington, DE: 43° (old record: 41°, 1971)

How does one get the data for warmest autumn? HVN and BDR are certainly having one of their warmest autumns on record. HVN was +6.5 and BDR +4.7 for Oct.

Look at the field. Those cows are so fat from all that lush grass they can't even stand. Lol

+6.5 here. Whats more impressive is the CDD/HDD (cooling/heating degree days). 18 CDD compared with a normal of 10. 127 HDD with a normal of 331. 2021 shattered a record at KHVN for highest CDD and lowest HDD.

Hydrangeas blooming while putting the pumpkins out?

I have lived on the CT shoreline for 40 years. Every year it gets warmer and warmer. I don't think people realize how insanely warm its been here the last decade. Cactus are flowering here...
