    The U.S. already has socialism. Almost every country on earth does. I guess Americans just don't work as hard as our peers in other first world countries that have a substantially better quality of life. Get back to the fields and mines you lazy Americans ! Time to bring China's 996 work week to America.

    All the cold is out west for now. Blizzard and winter storm warnings to freeze warnings in effect from the Canadian border all the way down to Mexico.

    I'd say it's more normal rather than cold. Next week normals are MU30s/U50s in the hills to 40-45/60-65 rest of state.

    I don't know what the rule is, but it happens every now and again where you'll never see a frost/freeze advisory/warning even if it's the first one, and the discussion always refers to the growing season being over even if not in reality. I'm not sure what cut off they use though for when they end the growing season. I doubt it's the 50th percentile (average) date, so maybe they take the 75th or 90th percentile date and call the season over at that point meaning no need to issue any sort of advisories.

    I mean you have to pick a 2m temp threshold since actual frosts aren't tracked officially. I guess 36F at 2m means a few degrees colder at ground level where plants might be? I've always assumed the 36/32/28 thresholds for which they publish normals were the frost/freeze/hard freeze thresholds for climate tracking purposes and weren't just randomly selected temp thresholds.

    CAR had their first frost (36F or lower) on 9/29, and CON had theirs on 10/1, but no freezes yet. Gonna be an easy frost/freeze program this year for the New England WFOs because by the time we have first frosts and freezes the growing season will officially be over. After this week all but 4 of the 22 climo sites in CT that have published frost/freeze normals will be past their average first freeze date, so I imagine northern New England is weeks behind schedule.

    Some of you guys should be photographers. My pics never come out that nice.

    Did anyone find the meteor? Wonder if it landed in someone's yard.

    Glad we don't live there.

    Don't the towns just come by and suck the leaves up? A lot of towns in Connecticut have curbside leaf pickup. You just pile them up along the side of the road and a truck with a big hose comes along and sucks them up and takes them to where ever they take them to be disposed.

    I'd try to unload him in the off-season. He's 32 (a few years past prime for a pitcher), thrown all of 43 innings in the past two years, and despite being 18 months removed from TJ still looks nothing like the pitcher he was before. Going forward he'll be Pedro post-rotator cuff - some flashes of the pitcher he used to be, generally serviceable, but never in that top shelf elite category. Unfortunately the deal the Sox signed is Bonilla-esque.

    If you want apples just go to the grocery store they have tons of apples there. Weather problem solved.

    Hey we have a Garrett who can't pitch without the spider tack too, but fortunately the Sox aren't paying theirs $325 million over the next decade.

    I did the HFD to DXR drive down 84 on Sunday afternoon and there was zero color in that corridor.

    Rays were 11-8 against the Sox, but hopefully we can get a couple of starts of yore out of Sale in the ALDS, and the bullpen which melted down so many times against Tampa Bay this year should be better.

    It's an older crowd in here, probably a lot of folks in their 50s/60s. Eat dinner at 4:45. In bed by 8. And like it sunny and 70 (a.k.a. CoC weather). The cold makes their joints ache, and snow is just a pain in the ass for them now. Classic snowbirds.

    The quickest drop this time of year usually happens between 6 and 9 PM with clear skies and calm winds. It'll slow down after that.

    if you hit 34 wouldn't that be considered your first frost?

    What does this mean for places like Florida and Louisiana which have lots of people living in low lying areas? The Florida coast is densely populated, so do millions of people suddenly see their flood insurance premiums spike?

    I'm not an expert on hydrology, but Oct 1st may start the year because that's when you start getting storms again that will increase water in rivers and snow in mountains which means September is the lowest point in that cycle since you've just gone through the summer and any snow from last winter/spring has melted and run off by that point.

    It's a USGS hydrology thing that CoCoRAHS keeps track of as well.

    I think this sub skews towards an older demographic, so it's not surprising how many prefer hot over cold.

    As warm as it has seemed, we're still only looking at departures of a degree or two above for the month. Also only one day of double digit departures. The month has been a very even keeled steady step down for a transition month that can have highs in the 90s followed by a morning in the 30s just a couple of weeks later. Probably thanks to lots of humidity which helps keep the range of highs and lows compressed.

    Heavy rain here under that little cell along the CT-NY border.

    At noon for the 18th of September at BDL the 1981-2010 normal dew point is 53.6. 90th percentile is 66.0 and 10th percentile is 41.0. At BDR it's 55.4/68.0/42.1 respectively. For BOS it's 54.3/66.0/41.0. ORH is 51.8/64.0/37.9.
