Have not had a chance to look myself but the MA group is back to being more excited about the European pattern depiction for Mid Dec. Maybe back to a 7 or 8 out of 10 look for the ensembles pattern predict.
Yesterday I did short sleeve shirt and pants...today was shorts and long sleeve shirt. Keep's em guessing. Tomorrow is long sleeves both sides as low 50's is the highest it seems likely to go.
Today was the best day (wearing shorts wise) in quite some time due to little wind as the after progressed. 60 for the high at Rou. Capital City came in 61 or 62. MDT 58 or 59.
This is probably in response to my post. 2 days ago the mid Dec look was an 8/10 IMO. Would call it a 6 or 7 out of 10 now. A bit of can kicking on the GEFS and the OP GFS was full on not good after the Blizz storm. Just what it is on 18z, not fact or a forecast.
More recent LR op's and ENS has backed down a bit from the great look. GFS floods us with warm air after the Blizz storm. Still a better pattern coming on LR but a bit more mixed IMO.
I wish I could get gas here. Only option is propane and that is not ideal. I spend about 300-400 Mo for 4 months a year then average about 150 a mo the others. Electric over 200 mid summer but less that 100 spring and fall.
You would have seen the same thing play out in 2019, 2020, and 2021. LOL. Put that second week of Dec into your calendar to check back :-). The @Blizzard of 93 snow should be coming then.
We had been talking about home heating...fyi home heating oil is way down right now (compared to its high point). Can be had for 4.50 a Gal. That is not bargain compared to last year at this time but a good $1/gal less than a month or two ago.
