he's 43. Rather incredible run he's had....like him or not, he sure looks like a GOAT to me.

ok...i see you got me above. I hate having to back read stuff. my hampster only runs forward.....

you missed my joke pal.... I know what you meant....just telling you what my mind saw and twisted it to..

right....in september Its flat out unwelcome - we've had enough Bullsh!t

yeah september "cold fronts" are just bonus points. Mid october is when I start to focus on real fall..

thats all i saw when reading #biasedmuch

That'll feel cold compared to this season of swamp ass..... I'll jump on that train any day in October.

Absolutely. As I stated previously, I'm down w/ what Sept. has thrown at us so far, but I just see potential for big swings in temps dependent on where that big red blob may move as seasons start to change. It's been a rather stable feature, and hopefully some early autumnal frontal boundaries suppress it and any WAR is minimal so that we dont have a train of warm n muggies headed our way like we've seen a couple times this year.

yeah next week looks warmish. I dare say parsing over GFS, that the relentless warmth in the midwest makes me a bit "on edge" both literally and figuratively.

Log cabin was not open (when we went by-but still "open"). Wonderbar is for sale.....Burnin barrel still great food, but SLOOOWWWW service. Coach stop inn was where we ended up. Worst meal I've had there in some time....like i'm scared to go back. They all are struggling to get/keep help. I consider it First World probs....so, we order an extra beer and roll w/ it. Hope this free money-pay for vote stuff ends soon. We've had multiple positions open....and in last 2 weeks here at work, we've started to see a surge, but they are concerned at hiring because they know many have been riding the free train as long as they can, and our "post covid" work environ is lean and mean.

I was up north this past weekend and met some folks at one of the establishments, and during barside banter when i asked where they are from, they said them went thru a town called "Pillow" to get there. I internally chuckled...

I was gonna bring that up, but figured most in here know that by now....and didnt want to start a MA forum like debate.... Pack retention...absolutely.

other than yesterday being rather moist, I'm down w/ what we are seeing for Sept so far....

Agreed. I'd take the - departures for Sept/Oct and just see how things evolve. W/ ENSO looking neutralish in da means, it may just pave the way for a nice ride into winter. I like frontloaded winters anyway, so I'll root it on and see where things end up.

all about snow pack retention.

beats the heck outta the +8 being tossed around a little while ago.... I'll be happy if we can eek out a -departure at all.

so February's ok? Canderson, good luck w/ starting the thread.....were all counting on you to make it one worth remembering! Happy fall y'all.

Looking like we are entering an extended period of normal, which climo says 50's are more normal for overnights. I opened windows last night and pulled covers on me for the first time in many many days. Was just awesome.

but in fariness, I didnt think they would either....

This is the one that sticks out to me...

wait until the mail in tallies are recorded....#winners
