Yes. I was also comparing it to last winter, which was one of the better ones around here in years. We'll regress this winter but it's fine if we can make it interesting once in a while (and the ski areas do relatively well).
Don't really care what temps do coming up. Let's start shuffling the pattern and get it active. I'm a bit resigned to a mixed bag of temps and precip most if not all winter.
Bit of frost this morning with a low of 34F. Now 63/38...nice day. I'm guessing we toss the GFS now but would be nice to get that clipper-like system next week to come in a little further south and crank up something interesting.
All I know is anything that brings some interesting weather is welcome. Doesn't have to be grid destroying events. I have a bit of a wind fetish so anything that checks that box will be nice as seems like a struggle to get anything even moderately stormy...at least in recent autumns. Nice breeze today. 62/53
Hurricane warnings up. Asked the in-laws to send pics. I think the bigger worry is flooding...they got nailed back in 2018 with 50" in 24 hours. Cannot imagine it.
Some good downpours and sheet drizzle this morning. Up to .52 after the stray downpour this evening. Fingers crossed the summer of Stein won't carry into fall.
.01 in drizzle overnight. Unbelievable how it keeps raining in the same places. Noticed lately some of the maples have burnt, shriveled leaves with quite a bit of drop. Seems to be mostly the Norways.
Nice. Spent two weeks there. We were staying in Princeville on the north shore but did take a ride to Waimea one day. Didn't go far into the canyon due to time but that's a nice area.
Wrapping up a trip to Kauai. Been an unusually wet summer here according to family on the island. Everything green and lush with daily showers. Our views have mostly included clouds… Seems like the opposite of back home…no doubt my yard will look like crap.
