First moderate snowfall potential on the ECM day 7

 

Hey now...

Some of the best gust of winds today within the past 1/2 hour...any chance of a firepit cancelled.

For real? If I had to watch one more smiling Wentz post game saying he knows how good he is and were going to get this fixed this next week...

 

 

DROVE ME NUTS! Does he need a new Sears craftsman toolbox to fix things? Next week same shit, over and over. 

Best case scenario Hurst plays decently well (and improving) for the rest of the year but they lose every game and gain a higher draft pick. 

Oh yeah, weather. Been outside quite a bit and really is a good afternoon if you like colder temps/wind/low sun angle. Much better than 95F/HHH/allergies and with bugs F'n with me...

I always hated when summer ended and always wasted my fall, but I kept so busy with projects outside and working on the boat I bought right before labor day. Really don't mind 50-55 degree sunny days now, so hoping for a mild winter and getting some nice days. Going to FL for a week next week to warm up these bones. It's been cold lately!

Means "I'm getting old".

You have April til Oct+ to work on the boat...have a little fun with winter.

Believe me I dig the outdoors/boating/fishing. Starting in April w/trout season....everything during the summer and ending with crabbing late Sept/early October..

That was the best moment of the Eagles season so far. Hopefully just the preview of Hurts leading this team to victory over the Saints  Kinda like how tomorrow will hopefully be the preview of a real event in the next week....

Is that confirmed? I picture Pederson throwing up a curveball and starting Wentz...

Seriously, I'd be happy with mood flakes at this point...like watching Jalen Hurts throwing a touchdown in garbage time.

It was a nice throw though...Wentz would have been sacked.

Yeah, tomorrow morning should be cool. Just seeing flakes falling and cold temps....may be a Jeb walk morning?

Possibly a couple flurries early Wednesday?  But what I'm really looking forward to are the 55-60F temps Sat/Sun...woo hoo!

Many fellow weenie peeps got Lucy'd in New England like we usually do. I have to dig into the arcane weenie handbook to see what this means for winter.

 

They can get screwed all winter and still end up w/10"+ more than our average...so 30" for them which isn't too shabby.

No pity here...

35F

Is Glenn waiting till March to put out his winter forecast or is he saying F-it, I'm getting too old for this and not chief Met any longer? 

Seen nothing online beside someone asked him 4 days ago on his FB w/no response...

Sunsets get later again after Monday, that should help warm us up 

 

Isn't the Winter solstice two weeks from this Monday, the 21st?

Yo Red Sky....major Red Sky going on here!

Need to pick up a case a beer before the Birds...

Headed towards Doylestown.

Yep, skies look really odd...

Kathy Orr.....near Lansdale, near me. Phone went off..

Skies are wicked..

TOR lofted in Central Montco.

Kathy Orr.....near Lansdale, near me. Phone went off..

Thunder/dark/rain here....may go do jumping jacks in the street to alert the neighbors.

32F @ 6:30am....super dead calm out which won't be the case tomorrow.

Man you guys are really down on this winter. I could care less about the winter as a whole. Give me one 12+ storm and it’s lights out. Though, I still think this winter exceeds expectations, and by a lot.

Not all of us. I don't expect a 12+ event but smaller storms which will be a helluva lot better than last year...

36F/zero wind/clear skies

Since we spend so much time outside here, I've been enjoying this weather. Lots of wood to split, and evenings testing the results with a kettle fire. One more blowing of leaves probably, maybe a mow to be sure it's less than 2" long so the snow lays on it nice, good stuff. I was fireside about as late as you were last night, lol. It's been seasonably warm for the most part but not over the top. Feels like a nice lead in to some snow in December, that's my mindset at the moment anyway.

Outside again....a bit colder than previous nights.  39F @ 9:30pm but not bad at all. The key is the winds are calm. The last thing I need is a windy night where an ember blows across the yard and sets my neighbors house on fire...

My observation is the change to warmth is significant. When I lived in Horsham the last lawn cut most seasons was a little past mid-October say around the 20th, then a leaf mulching run two weeks later. In a cooler region here in upper Bucks last lawn cuts were being made last week. A month change is huge.

 

Lived in Horsham for a good portion of my life (3-4 decades)....leaves were falling/grass growing way past mid Oct...trick/treat through leaves was super fun. Nov, still leaves but grass started to slow...end of Nov, clean up and done. 

I just don't see what the big shit is? After Monday (trashcans blowing again..lol)...temps/overnight temps will be average/below average til winter officially starts. Things level out......

no, I am a soil/geological scientist . Name calling gets you absolutely no credibility as having a physical science background for sure on this site.  With warm overnight temps, the soil temps cannot drop and grass keeps growing.  15+ degree avg temps overnight temps will not place cool season grass in dormancy 

Soil temperature is not the same as air temperature

Soil temperature is not the same as air temperature. The earth acts like a giant radiator. It gradually absorbs the suns energy over time, and then releases it slowly. Air temperature can fluctuate dramatically as day turns to night and as the seasons progress. Soil takes a long time to change temperature.

In the spring, the soil is cold from the winter and can take a long time to heat up. This is why spring scarification and lawn repairing can pose problems due to the soil not having warmed sufficiently. Seed may not germinate quickly and grass growth can be sluggish.

Using an infra red thermometer to check soil temperature

In the autumn, the opposite is true. The air temperature maybe falling, but the soil retains a lot of heat. This helps seed germination and aids the grass in absorbing valuable nutrients from autumn fertilisation. Many lawns can continue to look green and lush well into autumn and early winter. Autumn is usually the best time for seeding and major lawn renovation work.

^Just don't know why you're freaking out so much about overnight temps and grass growth? Things are pretty much normal down my way....front lawn hasn't grown in weeks and back yard a little. I'll rake up whatever leaves are left and mow the lawn this weekend and be done with it till next next year as usual. (End of Nov) Don't think temps have been so far off that would affect lawn growth.

another  crappy night to sleep if you like cold crisp fall nights -  windows open  still in the low 50's at 1 am  Mt Holly says to 38---   no way in hell with the stratus cover again. Avg low for my area is 30 degrees- I stand over 20 degrees above normal right now.  I will be mowing until January at this rate.

 

Damn man, you're a spaz-case. Overnight temps have nothing to do w/lawn growth....if it grows, cut it. I'll probably do my last leave rake/lawn cut this week which is normal. (last week Nov)

45F

48F @ 1:15am sitting around the fire pit.  Dead calm wind....perfect setting.

Monday looks interesting (or as interesting as it gets). 1"+ rains, winds (40+) w/the possibility of a storm.    

That being said, I wouldn't mind a potential snow event in the near future.(Think DT is a little revved up during the 2nd week Dec) Care less if it was only a 1-2" event....just something to get things started.

Perfect weather to sit outside.  Hope everyone has a happy and healthy holiday.  

Still pretty nice @ 8:30 w/temps in the low 50s, no wind and sitting around a firepit....
