Pretty substantial expansion of D0 on the latest drought map. Will probably shrink some in 7 days. D2 just south of the M/D line. All that rain in pillow this summer and still in D0.
This is interesting so going to expand on this back farther and show the area where things have changed as to what many of us notice (and this has been stated a lot by many here.) Red line showing the cooler years are going up consistently. This past summer was seen as a success for not being too hot but was hotter than any other "cooler year" since the early 80's.
Thanks for posting. Here is the same chart for MDT and Williamsport summers as a compare. Summer is based on seasonal met summer as defined by the NWS...June, July and August.
A bit cooler over here at 49. Have not had any sun yet. MDT has leaped Lanco and is 55/56. A recent rare occurrence where they are out pacing the models.
@Mount Joy Snowman MDT is .6 AN right now for the month and I suspect that goes up the next 1-2 days especially with a current standing low of 46 for the day...will they end Nov AN, BN or within .1 of either side of the line?
I do not record when the grass goes "dull" in winter but does seem later this year. I had a temp of 23 as a low for the fall. Looking at the GFS I have a shot in the last 8 days of fall to beat that 23.
If I were the snow mow type I could definitely mow as it is high enough, but I like to let it sit at 2-3" through the winter. Grass is very green despite the frosts.
